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 start your practicum.

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 all 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:

Yes! If you complete the 625-hour course, you can continue with the 875-hour course. You have a maximum of 3 consecutive years, plus 1 year to finish case studies. This time includes the time it takes to complete the entire 625-hour course.

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.
