Transcript

what is a realistic Pathway to me achieving an ryt A registered yoga teacher 500 hour level we just updated our curriculum as you can see when you look through our website you can see the six core courses of our curriculum what I've also shown there are a few examples of a few pathways you would build on top of your initial 200 hour training which may be with us or you may have done elsewhere and at the very least you'd need three 100 hour courses so I've broken it down into you could major in body which would be courses one two three part B you could major in more the philosophy and the science or you could have more of a hybrid body breath that means take two of the courses one two three and one of the other courses so you focus a bit more on the body but you still have a philosophical breath aspect or lastly breath body where you take two at least of courses four five six and then one from the anatomical anasana intensives but don't stop there you could do all six that gives you 800 hours they're even worth repeating and they'll be some of our specialized courses as well that can deliver you to an 1100 hour level
