RYS-300 Modular Program

The modular program offers students the opportunity to attend courses as their time allows, with modular elements offered each month throughout the year. RYS-300 modular courses are offered in a daytime format for local students (meeting once a week from 8:30-3:00pm for 3  sessions to equal 20 hours of study in that subject), or in weekend courses meeting Saturday and Sunday typically from 9-6:30pm. Students are also welcome to take some electives with the immersions (which offers the complete schedule of coursework two times a year at which time each module is offered in two sequential days. Students have full flexibility to arrange an educational plan that works with their life schedule, and they have up to 3 years to complete the coursework.


To graduate, students must complete 12 modular units and the online anatomy course and workshop project. The RYS-300 course covers all required competencies for RYT-500 however Yoga Alliance is now requiring 100 hours of teaching experience as well as your course completion to formally register with the organization. 


7 Required units include:

Ayurveda

Advanced Teaching Skills

Advanced Meditation Weekend/Rounding

Advanced Philosophy

Trauma Informed Yoga

Advanced Pranayama & Subtle Body Studies

Intro to yoga therapy


Students then choose 5 units from those listed below

Workshop and Retreat Planning

RYS-300 as Foundational Studies for Yoga Therapy

The 300 coursework covers the required competencies for Yoga Alliance RYT-500, as well as serving as level one training for Yoga Therapy Certification. Those wishing to apply this 300-hour program to foundational studies of the 800-hour Yoga Therapy certification will have additional readings and homework. We are happy to discuss this with students who are planning to continue their training after the completion of the RYT-300. Students do not need to make a decision regarding whether or not they want to continue their education until such time as they feel ready. Our advice is to enjoy your yoga education without attachment to a goal, knowing that, as this program progresses, you will have a deeper understanding of yoga therapy and will be more prepared to make the best decision for your yoga career regarding attaining an IAYT formal yoga therapy certification.  


Tuition Fee: $3,900.00 (Students bring lunch each day.)

Sessions meet from 7-12 hours a day (depending on the program and schedule). Recommended readings and segments of the manual will be provided with each selected course that, when combined, create a comprehensive manual. Enrollment can begin at any time.

Weekend modules

Immersion Courses

Immersion Courses

RYS-300 courses are often scheduled on weekends so students can progress through their requirements as their availability and the schedule of offerings align. A good option for students who need to be available for work or family obligations during the week, students have up to 3 years to complete their course requirements, and can take weekends alone or along with other time frames as they piece together a schedule that works for their lifestyle. (See schedule below)

Immersion Courses

Modular students are invited to join portions of the immersion training when space is available. With two immersions offered a year (each one covering all requirements) students can make great headway by attending a few days sequentially, or can always catch that one class they need to finish if they are willing to participate on the days or hours the course is scheduled during the immersion.

Description of Modular Courses

Upcoming RYT-300 Modular Quick View Schedule

2021-2022

Daytime Program RYS-300 Courses meet on Wednesday Afternoons from 8:30 am - 3:30 . Each session is begun with a student led yoga class as part of the teaching practicum and the coursework begins afterwards until the conclusion off the day. Modular students may join any of these units as part of their degree plan. Students bring lunch each day in these trainings.


The schedule covers most of the 300 coursework, but students need one additional weekend module to complete all 300 hours of study. Chair, Aerial and or one of the elective yoga therapy modules are available and offered several times a year to complete this requirement as long as the student did not take the course as part of their RYS-200 at Heartwood. 

The RYS-300 Anatomy is taken online at the student's leisure, but much of the anatomy is covered in independent modules as well.
