FLEXIBLE CHOICE, WHEREVER YOU LIVE
What “Online” Actually Means Here
Join the live learning community at our Encinitas institute from wherever you live. Flexible Choice (In-Person, Live Online, Recorded) connects your advanced study with faculty and classmates while giving you room to plan around your life.
Live online students participate through video conferencing, with opportunities to ask questions and interact with faculty and in-person students. Recordings let you revisit the material and keep studying when a live session does not fit your schedule.
Recorded Support
Use available recordings to study around work, teaching and time-zone differences, or return to material you want to understand more deeply.
Optional In Person
Complete your elective pathway remotely, or join available sessions in Encinitas when a visit fits your plans. Admissions can help you arrange the mix.
Plan for live connection: at least 45 of your 300 hours (15%) need to be live, on Zoom or in person, and your practice teaching happens live.
Check each course’s schedule, format and recording arrangements before enrolling. Admissions can help you build a plan around your time zone, teaching commitments and daily life.
Built for your next chapter
Go deeper in the areas that matter to you.
Already have your 200-hour foundation? The elective-based path featured here lets you combine courses in teaching skills, movement, philosophy, Ayurveda, meditation, and therapeutic applications. You choose eligible courses that add up to 300 hours.
With Flexible Choice (In-Person, Live Online, Recorded), you can complete the elective pathway remotely and blend formats as your schedule changes. If you are considering the Yoga Therapy Bridge, discuss that pathway’s attendance requirements with Admissions.
Also considering yoga therapy?
The separate 300-hour Yoga Therapy Bridge follows a more defined course map, including required anatomy, practicum, and mentoring alongside Bridge-specific electives. It is designed as the first part of the 800-hour Yoga Therapy training. If that future goal interests you, plan your courses with the team before choosing electives.

Practical answers
Online advanced training, explained.
From time zones to course selection, your questions belong in the conversation. Start with the info packet and connect with Admissions about your own plan.
Can I complete my 300-hour training online?
Yes. The flexible elective-based 300-hour program can be completed remotely using live online and recorded course options. Admissions can help you select eligible courses and confirm each course’s format, attendance expectations, and completion requirements.
Do I need a 200-hour certification first?
Yes. A completed 200-hour yoga teacher training certification is the prerequisite for this advanced program.
What is the balance of live classes and recordings?
At least 45 of your 300 hours (15%) need to be live, on Zoom or in person in Encinitas, which is Yoga Alliance's minimum, and your practice teaching happens live. Beyond that, the balance is up to you and depends on the courses you choose. We encourage you to join live whenever you can.
What if I work or live in a different time zone?
Use the published course dates to plan ahead, and confirm session times in your own time zone. Ask Admissions which recorded options and course combinations fit your schedule. Do not assume every course has the same attendance or recording arrangements.
How long do I have to finish?
Most students complete the 300 hours in 12-18 months (up to 2 years if needed). Your pace depends on your course choices, their schedules, and the time you set aside for study and integration.
Can I add some in-person study?
Yes. You can combine online learning with available courses at our Encinitas institute. Admissions can help you check dates and formats if you would like to include time on campus.
Does this lead to RYT 500?
The 300 advanced hours build on your 200-hour training as a pathway toward RYT 500. Yoga Alliance registration has its own requirements, including teaching experience.
What if I may want to study yoga therapy later?
Plan with Admissions before selecting electives. The Yoga Therapy Bridge has required anatomy, practicum, mentoring, and Bridge-specific electives, and is designed as the first 300 hours of the separate 800-hour Yoga Therapy training. Ask the team to confirm the attendance formats for that specific pathway.
What happens after I request the info packet?
You will receive the 300-hour program information and a special 10% tuition discount offer. The packet includes Admissions contact details and next steps for a personal conversation about your goals, schedule, course choices, and tuition. Requesting information does not commit you to enroll.
