Online Yoga Teacher training: Time and space no longer limit
If you want to become a yoga teacher, a YA 200 hour Certification is where to start. As the world moves more and more towards virtual learning, online YTT training is the perfect option for those who can’t join us in person yet still want to study the Heartwood curriculum to assure a quality education. Yoga teacher training is our specialty and the online RYS-200 hour comprehensive yoga teacher training course is designed to expand an aspiring yoga teacher's awareness and set a foundation for learning.
We introduce the important foundational knowledge of yoga teacher training in a comprehensive way. Students are provided with prerecorded content that can be self-paced for those elements of study that transfer well online, such as anatomy or the science of meditation and pranayama, along with detailed coursework on posture and alignment, sequencing, chakra and energy studies, pranayama, Sanskrit, business of yoga and more. We also schedule zoom meetings weekly for group discussion, reviewing what we are learning independently, and to introduce new material and create community. Students are encouraged to join us in real time to be a part of the interactive learning collective, but in cases where this is not possible, they can watch the lessons on their own. Each week portions of the prerecorded content should be watched, as well as readings and exercises to assure everyone stays on course, progressing in a timely way. Our group Facebook page keeps everyone interacting and provides a forum for questions, a place to post exercises to receive feedback from your teachers and mentors and ongoing connection. Students are expected to be participatory in our exercises and communications to assure every participant learns and develops skills to build confidence and competency to get the most out of the training.
Important information regarding Yoga Alliance and online programs:
Heartwood has worked hard to create and structure online programs that closely emulate a live training to provide an equally comprehensive education. It takes 200 hours of study to become a qualified RYT-200 yoga teacher whether you are studying in person on online. Receiving your certification online is not less time consuming or easier but does allow you to pace your studies around your personal responsibilities and avoid travel difficulties or the expense of travel and lodging. If you choose the online training option you still must be committed and willing to do the work required to become a legitimate, qualified yoga teacher.
