Yoga Therapy Diploma 875 Hours

The IAYT certification exam will be required for all graduates of any IAYT-accredited programme who begin their training on or after July 1, 2023. However, if you were already enrolled in the programme before this date, you’ll be exempt from taking the exam.

Rest assured, our programme is fully accredited by the IAYT and meets all of their standards and curriculum requirements. You won’t be expected to have knowledge of anything that is not covered in our modules and case studies. By the end of the programme, we’re confident that you’ll be well-prepared to take and pass the certification exam. Additionally, the IAYT is currently working on developing a study guide for the exam, which will provide you with information on the subjects to review before taking the exam.

Please visit IAYT for more information about the certification exam.

The IAYT is a separate organisation from ours, and they charge their own fees for certification, membership, and other services. These fees are not included in the course price, so you will need to pay them separately.

The price of the course includes access to all live module lectures, unlimited access to the educational platform, written materials, presentations, full recordings, practice videos, audio files, and assignments. It also includes mentorship and access to the faculty and team for any email support you may need.

The price of the course does not include books from the reading list, yoga mats or props, or any other materials or equipment that may be required for the course.

We offer a variety of discounts and promotions on our Yoga Therapy training courses throughout the year. To see the current discounts and promotions, please visit our promotions page.

Yes, we understand that plans can change, and we have a cancellation policy in place to accommodate that. To ensure clarity and transparency, we have provided detailed information about our Payment & Cancellation Terms.

You can start with the Yoga Therapy Foundation Course 100-Hours, and then choose to schedule the majority of the modules (on the body systems, the mind, and the tools) in any order you like. After that, you’ll be ready to attend the Yoga Therapy for Cancer Patients & People Affected by Cancer module. You can also request to start your practicum during this time.

We recommend doing the research part of the programme in conjunction with the practicum, as much of the work required will complement each other well. When all coursework has been completed and case studies submitted, you’ll get to showcase your Yoga Therapy skills and knowledge in the final evaluation.

See “The Journey” above for a visual representation of the module order.

Yes, there is an assessment for each module. The assessments vary in format, but they all serve the same purpose: to help you digest the material and put your knowledge into practice.

Some of the assessments you may encounter include:

• Class practice: You may be asked to practise with the entire class. This is a great way to learn from your peers and to get feedback from your teacher.
• Breakout room practice: You may be asked to practise with a small group of students in a breakout room. This is a great way to get more individualised attention from your teacher.
• Take-home assignments: You may be asked to complete a take-home assignment, such as a written reflection or a case study. This is a great way to demonstrate your understanding of the material and to apply your knowledge to real-world situations.
• End-of-module tests: You may be asked to take an end-of-module test. This is a great way to assess your knowledge of the material and to identify any areas for additional learning.

The assessments are designed to help you learn and grow as a Yoga Therapist. They’re not intended to be stressful or overwhelming. If you have any questions about the assessments, please don’t hesitate to ask us!

You can begin your case studies and mentorship (practicum) when you’ve completed the majority of the modules of the diploma and are ready to put all the knowledge you’ve gained into practice.

The practicum is a hands-on experience where you work with clients under the supervision of a certified Yoga Therapist. Case studies are an opportunity for you to document your work with clients and reflect on your experiences. Mentorship is a way for you to get support and guidance from a more experienced Yoga Therapist.

No, you won’t have to worry about losing access to your Zoom recordings. You can access them indefinitely, or download them to store on your own device.

The 625-hour course allows you to work as a Yoga Therapist in some European countries such as the Netherlands and the UK, but it won’t give you the international certification with the IAYT.

To get certified with the IAYT, you need to complete at least 800 hours in an accredited Yoga Therapy programme.

The Yoga Therapy Institute’s 875-hour course is accredited by IAYT and fulfils the requirements for the international certification.

The Yoga Therapy Diploma 875-hours has additional requirements compared to the 625-hour course. These include:

• Ayurvedic Healing & Yoga Therapy
• Yoga Therapy for Cancer Patients & People Affected by Cancer
• Ethical, Legal & Business Principles for Yoga Therapy
• Case Study Peer Supervision
• Additional case study hours
• Additional mentorship hours
• Yoga Therapy Final Project

Simply completing one or several modules is not enough to work as a Yoga Therapist. Equally, an advanced, experienced Yoga Teacher Training does not qualify you to work as a Yoga Therapist.

You will need to have completed at least 625 hours with a recognised Yoga Therapy school, or, in some cases, you can only work as a Yoga Therapist when you have an IAYT accredited Yoga Therapy Diploma such as The Yoga Therapy Institute’s 875-hour.

If you want to work in a hospital or medical centre, you may require additional qualifications. When working with clients, students who are still in training should inform all parties involved that they are not yet certified Yoga Therapists.
