MODULES
For diploma modules you need:
- A 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training
- One year of teaching experience
- One year of personal practice
- Fluency in English
Short courses have no prerequisites.
Most modules follow a 5–6 day schedule with live Zoom sessions. Exact times are listed on each module page and in the module agenda sent before the start date.
Our modules include:
- Live lectures
- Breakout room practice
- Discussions
- Practical demonstrations
- Trauma-informed communication
- Q&A throughout
You’ll also receive materials in Google Classroom a few days before the module starts.
The specific props that will be used in the modules will vary depending on the subject being discussed and the needs of the students and clients. However, some of the most common props that are used in Yoga Therapy include yoga mats, blankets, bolsters, cushions, chairs, eye pillows, straps, blocks, and exercise balls.
If you don’t have all of the props, don’t worry! You can improvise with household items. For example, you can use a rolled-up towel instead of a bolster or a pillow instead of a block.
Yes. Most of our modules provide a Certificate of Attendance that qualifies for Yoga Alliance Continuing Education (CE) credits.
You can find the specific CE eligibility for each module on its individual course page.
Yes. Most modules include a written end-of-module test, delivered via the learning platform. Tests include multiple-choice and long-answer questions.
Yes. You will have ongoing access to the Zoom lecture recordings inside the learning platform.
No. Individual modules alone do not qualify you to call yourself a Yoga Therapist or offer yoga therapy professionally.
You must complete either the 625-hour or 875-hour diploma to do so.
Case Studies & Mentorship
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.
Most modules follow a 5–6 day schedule with live Zoom sessions. Exact times are listed on each module page and in the module agenda sent before the start date.
You can join mentorship once you have completed all of the modules and are ready to commence your case studies. To register, simply send us an email. Once approved, we assign you a mentor.
- 625-hour students receive 5 hours of one-on-one mentorship.
- 875-hour students receive 11 hours, plus Peer Supervision.
The price of mentorship includes direct access to your mentor by email for support, including 11 hours (875-hour diploma) or 5 hours (625-hour diploma) of one-on-one online mentorship sessions.
The mentorship sessions are approximately an hour long each, and the mentor will provide you with guidance and support on your work and help you to improve your skills.
Mentors respond within reasonable timeframes, but they may not be available immediately.
If you encounter red flags or safety concerns, you must pause your sessions until your mentor advises you.
As a Yoga Therapist, you may be exposed to a variety of case studies that can be triggering for you. This is especially true if you have personally experienced trauma or have a history that is similar to the client in the case study. It’s important to remember that you are not alone in this. Many Yoga Therapists experience triggers at some point in their careers.
If you find yourself triggered by a case study, it’s important to ask for guidance from your mentor. Your mentor is a great resource for support. They can help you to understand your triggers and to develop coping strategies. They may also refer you to our educational counsellor or to an outside therapist.
We continue to support graduates through:
- Bi-annual professional meetings
- The TYTI community
- Optional mentorship sessions
You are always welcome to contact us for guidance.
