Welcome to the internationally accredited ISHTA YOGA SCHOOL's 200 hour RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) YTTC (Yoga Teacher Training Certification/Course).

Module 1 and 2 can be done online from anywhere in the world, by anyone either wishing to learn more about yoga, or to eventually become a yoga teacher. Module 3 is an in-person retreat, currently facilitated in the Western Cape.


STEP 1: NOTES & HOUSEKEEPING

  • Upon registering for this course, please WhatsApp me directly so that I may add you to our student group: +27 71 874 1890
  • Please ensure in the settings of your profile on this academy that you have OPTED IN to emails. These emails are automated, and sent to you as you complete each section of your work. These emails are strictly course-related.
  • These modules are designed to be done in order
  • Start at the top, and work down - don't skip sections
  • In the "NOTES & HOUSEKEEPING" section you will find all your course notes, manuals, additional readings, etc.
  • PRINT & BIND: ISHTA Course Manual
  • PRINT & BIND: Asana Manual
  • BONUS MATERIAL: Right at the bottom of this module you will find a section of bonus material - this includes the Library (of complimentary texts), as well as articles and links for those who are interested. In no way does this material need to be studied, or even read through. It is purely optional, and for those students who want to dive deeper.
  • The Complimentary Books (saved under the heading of LIBRARY) are not compulsory for this course, however some of the exercises and some readings may come from these - so you can use the online versions here without needing to order additional material. I do, however, recommend you eventually collect these texts, as they end up becoming well-used friends on any good yoga teacher's library shelf.
  • Print your 50hr log sheet
  • Print, sign, scan and return your course disclaimer to me via email
  • Please fill out the REGISTRATION Google Drive form (only for students who haven't yet completed it): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfKAREwxIAWZ7PCaho4q0DZxKOtlz9xiolAhuSYZuBWD9ZlvQ/viewform?usp=sf_link


Done that?

YOU ARE NOW READY TO BEGIN!


STEP 2: THEMES, LECTURES & LESSONS

The way in which this course was designed is that the videos you use for your lessons count as if you were sitting in a live class with me, your course facilitator.

You must watch ALL the videos, while taking notes, and you can decide how you pace this out. [NOTE: the notes you take during lectures and videos will later be combined to form Assignment 01].

There are three THEMES per module.

Each theme contains a number of VIDEO LECTURES.

Each video lecture is related to certain LESSONS in your manual / complimentary readings (NOTE: you cannot do this course using only the manual! The main content is in the videos).


You will see videos titled in the following way M1 T1 V2.

This is abbreviation for MODULE 1, THEME 1, VIDEO 2.

This is to help you in your notes with keeping things in order.


STEP 3: READINGS & HOMEWORK

I recommend you check this out at the beginning of each theme, so that you know what the homework is for the 2 weeks ahead, and what to look out for when making notes during lectures.

Each theme's homework will consist of:

  • Readings (from your ISHTA MANUAL)
  • Asanas / specific sequences to delve into that week
  • Pranayama / meditation practice
  • Selected additional (compulsory) YouTube videos to watch (and make notes of for Assignment 01)
  • Possible journaling / teaching practice


STEP 4: MODULE 1 ASSIGNMENTS & QUIZ

There are two main assignments for this module, and 1 online quiz.

  • ASSIGNMENT 01: This is a compilation of each week's note made from watching the homework YouTube videos. This will be explained to you later.
  • ASSIGNMENT 02: This is the open-book, home-study exam (to be done at the end of this module and submitted to me via email)
  • QUIZ: The online, multiple-choice quiz to be done at the end of this module


This will all be explained in the first video lecture, but, as always, I am simply an email or call away:
