GENERAL PROGRAM INFO
If you have completed any 200-hour or more teacher training program that meets the Yoga Alliance RYT-200 standards and would like to continue your education and practice, YCM offers 6 Advanced Modules that can be taken as stand-alone trainings or taken together for your 500-hour Certification (and Yoga Alliance Registration- RYT500). Complete your advanced certification in 18 months or take the modules piecemeal (and complete within 3 years). Don't have your 200-hour level certification yet? Check out the 230-hour Program.

All modules (A-F) can be taken as stand-alone trainings, or together in any order to complete your 500-hour level training. You must have 200 hours training to register (or be within a month of completion). Modules can be taken in any order, so no need to start with Module A. You may make-up any missed weekends or hours in the next round of that module (module rotation starts over in Oct & April). Required reading and report assignments due at the end of each module, and a certificate is awarded upon completion of module. Upon completion of all six modules, you may choose to apply for Yoga Alliance's 500-hour registry.
