Important – Program Structure

• The training is divided into 5 parts. You must complete Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to earn your full 500-hour certification.

• Upon successful completion of all five parts, students will be able to request their combined 200- and 300-hour certificates, which will allow them to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 500.

• You are required to attend 8 live sessions in total (across all five parts), hosted on our online studio platform. These are scheduled weekly with flexibility to attend alternate sessions if needed. A full calendar is provided inside the course.
