This course is an inspiring, yoga teacher training curated by our experienced team of teachers who are interested in your success as a yoga teacher and as a person. Our GOYA & Yoga Alliance approved, 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training gives you the tools you need to rise to the top in a career you’re passionate about. From the basics to the advanced practices, this training helps you develop personally and prepares you to support your students through their own, unique yoga journeys.

Yoga teachers with the 500 Hour designation qualify to lead Yoga Teacher Trainings. As well, they can apply for the designation of  GOYA Continuing Education Provider (CCEP) or Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP) and start their own yoga teacher training programs.


  • IMPORTANT: The course is divided into 5 PARTS, and you are required to complete all five parts, successfully, to be eligible for the 500 Hour certification.  Upon successful completion of all five parts, students will be able to request their combined 200 & 300 Hour certificates, which will allow them to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) 500.


  • IMPORTANT: The course is a variation of our 200 Hour program, and 300 Hour program.  If you are already enrolled in our 200 Hour or 300 Hour Advanced program, you should continue on with those programs. If not, then this is the perfect program for you!


  • NOTE: In order to complete the 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training certification, you will be required to access 8 LIVE sessions via our studio platform. It is 8 live sessions, total, for all 5 parts. These sessions are ongoing, weekly. If you cannot make it one week, that's ok, you can join another week.  Inside the course, we provide you with a full calendar of live events, and you can choose events that suit your schedule.  As Yoga is about ethics and integrity, we expect students to be responsible for their attendance.

For students who already hold a CYT500 or RYT500 Yoga Teacher certification:

All certificates are issued by UDEMY.  With your UDEMY certificate, this course can be added to your CE profile. It qualifies for 100 hours of Continuing Education credits. Instructions are provided at the end of the program on how to add these to your profile. If a student would like to receive a certificate from the school, they can apply for this at the end of the program. This has an additional fee* associated with it. This is optional and not required.


For students seeking full certification as a GOYA Certified 500-Hour Yoga Teacher or a YA Registered 500-Hour Yoga Teacher:

If you wish to receive the official school certificate, upon successful completion of Parts 1 -5, you will be instructed on how to request this from the school at the end of Part 5. You do not need to request any certificates until then.

Our certification process is rigorous and takes up to 10 business days for a team member to ensure you have successfully qualified. We take pride in maintaining high standards and do not simply hand out official certificates.

An additional fee* is associated and this fee covers the time and meticulous effort required for the verification process and the creation of your official certificate. You will use the school certificate to register with an organization(s) of your choosing.


*IMPORTANT - Additional Fees:

Why don’t we list the additional fees on the course information page? UDEMY'S policy does not allow us to share that information with prospective students. While this is not our preference, and we would prefer to be able to offer these details in this description, we must comply with their policy. Rest assured, the additional fees are offered at a significantly discounted rate, allowing UDEMY students to access the program at an exceptional savings.


We are Your Global Leader in Yoga Education™. and a top rated provider of Yoga Teacher Training & Continuing Education on UDEMY. Since 2010, we have successfully graduated over 36,000 students worldwide, both in-person and online.
