The Journey

 

Becoming a yoga teacher is a journey and choosing the path is the first decision. For those interested in becoming an RYT® 200 (Registered Yoga Teacher) with membership within Yoga Alliance, there are options for training. We believe our program, with its self-paced, workshop based schedule, small class sizes, and a personalized approach, offers our students increased opportunities for long term success.

​

Step 1 - Pre-register as a GYS-RYT 200 student.
There is no fee to join the list of peers also seeking their professional accreditation. Together we will work towards completing your goal of earning the RYT 200 professional credential from Yoga Alliance.

​

Step 2 - Complete the Yoga Fitness Instructor module* as the foundational basis for future training.  
 

*Taking this module or having yoga practice and teaching experience is recommended before embarking on enhanced training, however, if scheduling doesn't fit with your life's activities, some core curriculum workshops are available for early registration. Discuss with Lead Trainers.

 

Step 3 - At your own pace, successfully complete all the required GYS-RYT core curriculum workshops and practicum (practice teaching) requirement.

​

Step 4 - Self-select topics of interest and complete specialty workshops that resonate with you to make up the balance of the 200 hours.

 

Step 5 - Upon receipt of your GYS Certification of Completion choose to join Yoga Alliance, registering yourself as an RYT® 200, joining others who share your commitment to their yoga practice, the yoga community and to future students. 

​

The Investment

​

The total investment into GYS-RYT 200 training starts at $3500+ (including GST); additional costs would be incurred based on workshop selection and personal choice.  Rates subject to change*.

​

*For a period of 24 months from the date of enrollment, workshop fees discounted as noted on information pages. Upon expiry renewal options are available.
