• One-Page regarding what you feel/think is the most important lesson presented
in the Bhagavad Gita (p.58 Level 4 Manual).

essence
of a sutra (p. 58 Level 4 Manual).
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 $99.00 (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.
