down dog SOYA Yoga Teacher Training 200 Hour & 500 Hour Distance Program


The SOYA 500 hour Distance Education course covers the same curriculum as the RYT200® and RYT500® Extended Programs. This program is designed for those of you who are unable to attend monthly Teacher Training meetings at any of our locations.

Something to consider before taking this training is that Yoga Alliance does not recognize any Distance Education at this time, so completing your training in this manner means you are not able to be a Registered Yoga Teacher. Distance Education is currently under review for Registry with Yoga Alliance, but will not likely be approved for some time. Our Distance Education training is recognized by YogaBC and the International Yoga Teachers' Association (IYTA).

studies For this training you should have high-speed internet access and SKYPE (which is a free download at www.skype.com) in order to participate in regular discussions with the teacher and other students to review your written lessons. These calls are usually every two weeks and last about 1 hour. If you are unable to get high speed internet please let us know so we can arrange to phone you instead. You should also have a strong personal practice and the ability to study on your own.
