Questions

events — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:26:06 +0000

Questions?

1) I have completed all required trainings, but haven’t yet applied for my 200-hour RYT YA Certificate with YogaFit. What do I need to do?

Locate the Certificate Request Form in your Level 4 Manual. Fill it out and attach all required documents listed. If you are missing a certificate, but you know the date and city you took the training, just write that information in on the Certificate Request Form included in your Level 4 Manual.

2) Is a retrain of Level 3 still required?

No, but you are welcome to retrain Level 3 for the low retrain price of $149.00 (assuming your initial Level 3 training was taken within last 24 months).

3) I received my YogaFit Yoga Alliance 200-hour Certificate of Completion. What now?

Please mail a copy of the certificate to Yoga Alliance with your YA RYT application and fee. It takes them about 3-6 weeks to process. Please do not mail copies of all your individual YogaFit Certificates to Yoga Alliance – you just need to mail them your YogaFit-issued 200-hour Certificate, their application form, and processing fee.

4) What is the difference between RYT and E-RYT?

200-hour RYT – RYT status is having completed a qualifying 200-hour YA program and become registered with Yoga Alliance as a 200-hour RYT. RYT pertains to regular instructors.

E-RYT – (Experienced RYT) is having completed everything necessary for RYT PLUS having taught for, at least, two years, AND, at least, 1000 hours AFTER having met the 200-hour RYT standards. This pertains to Teacher Trainers.

5) Hooray! I now have my RYT and want to know about what the CEU requirements are. Can you clarify this for me?

• To receive credit toward contact hour CEUs, programs must be a minimum of two (2) hours in length
• Contact CEUs must be instructed by one of the following:

1. E-RYT 200 and 500; or
2. RYT 500 ; or
3. Instructors of Anatomy & Physiology and Yoga Philosophy/ Lifestyle and Ethics for Yoga Teachers must have equivalent training and experience in these topics (at least 100 hours of documented education and/or experience).

Existing CEU Requirements for Each Three Year Period, effective January 1, 2004, require that a RYT must:

• Teach a minimum of 45 classroom hours of yoga.

• Accumulate 30 Continuing Education Units including 10 contact CEUs.
YogaFit’s Mosaic programs include workshops that qualify for Yoga Alliance CEUs.

6) Can I combine YogaFit Training hours with my training and workshop hours from other trainings to achieve my YA RYT 200 hour status. Is that still an option?

The RYT 200 Independent Study track option expired January 1, 2006. Since this date is passed, the Independent Study Track Option is no longer an option. Someone wanting to obtain RYT status must go through one Yoga Alliance approved school (RYS) and can not combine trainings for different schools.
