Online 200 Program Requirements

• The entire hours of this program can be done online (i.e. non contact hours). To be allowed to certify as an online school for this program:
  • Schools must meet the overall hour requirements as the in person program requirements above.
  • Students need to be tested both in theory (e.g. yoga philosophy, etc) and practice (e.g. the ability to teach class) to demonstrate that they have gained the same level of knowledge and skill that would be obtained if they had taken the program in person, thus schools need to show in their syllabus how they will evaluate theory (e.g. yoga philosophy, etc) and practice (e.g. the ability to teach class) via exams or other form of evaluation.
