ISHTA Yoga 500-hour Advanced Teacher Training Course
Be Yoga Japan’s 500-hour advanced teacher training course is a custom-made program consisting of workshops of your choice. Its schedule is flexible and short but intensive, so you can adjust training dates accordingly.
Program contents include Asana, philosophy, Ayurveda, anatomy, maternity, and spotting. If you register after completing the advanced training series, you will be issued a certificate for graduation from the 500-hour ISHTA Yoga teacher training course. Submit this certificate along with the Yoga Alliance documents to register as a Yoga Alliance 500-hour registered ISHTA Yoga teacher (RYT-500).
If you have received a 200-hour training from other studios, you can submit that along with the workshop certificates to register with the Yoga Alliance. (In this case, you cannot use the term, ISHTA.)
At Be Yoga Japan, we offer a Bridge Program for those who have already completed a 200-hour teacher training course. The aim is to further your understanding of ISHTA Yoga, and enable you to enjoy a more productive 300-hour advanced training experience.
