The Way It Works
Complete the yoga essentials core curriculum courses and your choice of elective courses to earn your 300-hour RYT. Begin your 300-hour journey by enrolling in either the Yoga Essentials Immersion or 8-weekend trainings in-person at our studio. The Yoga Essentials course accounts for 140 contact hours of the 270 hours required for graduation. The remaining course hours can come from any elective course from any instructor at AYC so you can pick whichever trainings are of interest to you.
