This course forms an excellent foundation for those wishing to pursue any of
our certification programs. For the 500-hour Professional Yoga Therapist

fulfilling certification requirements.

The entire cost of the Home Study is $475.00 (U.S. dollars).

You receive the Home Study online manual that may be downloaded and printed as

An experienced mentor will review your work and send you a written evaluation
of each module by e-mail. Your mentor is available to respond to any questions
by e-mail as they arise during the course of your work.
You also have access to the IYT Student Section of
this website which contains a wide range of resources and information,
including a reading list, Ayurvedic questionnaires, and holistic health
surveys. You receive a username and password upon registration.
