WHAT STYLE OF YOGA IS TAUGHT ON THE ONLINE RYT-200 COURSE ?
The Yoga we teach on our Yoga Teacher Training courses is an authentic 'vini' flow - which connects Hatha Yoga postures in short flowing Vinyasa sequences. The Yoga taught draws from the Sri T Krishnamacharya lineage - a therapeutic and holistic approach to teaching the goal of which is to create healing and wellbeing in mind, body and breath. As all of our teachings have been passed down through the Sri T Krishnamacharya lineage, this builds a strong and authentic foundation for your teaching and practice, ensuring what you teach is safe and effective and from a legitimate source. You know what you are sharing is the real deal - based on authentic wisdom built upon by Yogis for thousands of years!
WILL I BE ABLE TO TEACH VINYASA YOGA?
Yes, vinyasa ('flow') yoga joins traditional hatha yoga postures (Adho Mukha Shvanasana/ Downward Facing Dog, Virabhadrasana/ Warrior etc) together in a series of flowing sequences. We teach you how to correctly teach each individual posture and then move on to sequencing these in a series of flowing sequences, which can be modified to suit all students and combined to create full vinyasa classes.
CAN I JOIN YOU IN PERSON IN BYRON BAY OR BALI WHEN TRAVEL RESUMES?
Yes, if you would like to join us in person on one of our Byron Bay or Bali RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Trainings when interstate or international travel resumes an upgrade can be easily arranged. You only need to pay the difference in cost between the online and in-person courses, no extra charges apply.
CAN I JOIN YOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING EVEN IF I HAVE INJURIES?
At Santosha we believe yoga is for everybody and all bodies! You do not need to have the perfect, injury free body to be a yoga teacher, or to join us on the course. You can absolutely participate in the course - and go on to teach yoga - utilising modifications or alternate postures. We have a strong focus on ensuring we are teaching safe and sustainable practices for all yogis and providing options to support this. When you sign up for the course we will ask you to let us know of any injuries so we can share these with your teachers and ensure that you are kept safe and looked after in any live classes.
CAN I SELF PACE ON THE ONLINE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING?
Absolutely! The course is completely self paced. You can complete it in one month, or study in a timeframe that suits you. We have had so many full-time workers, parents and students join us on the Certified Online Yoga Teacher Training course for this reason. If you do not complete the course in your month, you are given access to live zoom classes right up until you graduate the course - however long that takes you.
HOW MANY HOURS A DAY DO I STUDY ON THE ONLINE YTT?
This is entirely up to you! There is no set time of how long you need to take or how many hours a week to study. Self pacing means you can either complete the course intensively over 4 weeks, or if you prefer you can study part time choosing how many hours a week you would like to study to suit YOUR needs.
WHAT IF I CANNOT COMPLETE THE ONLINE YTT COURSE IN ONE MONTH?
Not a problem! You can take as long as you need to complete your studies - and if you do not finish in the month you signed up for you can access all the future live zoom classes - up until your graduation from the course. This means you can join all online zoom classes for 2021 and beyond, not just the ones for your particular group!
HOW IS THE SCHEDULE OF LIVE ZOOM CLASSES CREATED?
The live schedule is organised around multiple time zones such as Europe, USA, Australia and more. We send out a questionnaire to all students that are going to complete the lives that month. Once we have the requests of time preferences such as morning, weekends, afternoons and the time zones of the group we then create the schedule for the needs of the students so we are meeting each student at that time. Live classes can be missed and you do not need to attend all live classes. If you miss one you can watch the recording which is uploaded for you to view. We are the only online school to uniquely create a bespoke schedule each month to suit the needs of our specific students, and we feel this is part of the 'Santosha difference'!
DO YOU HAVE PAYMENT PLANS FOR THE ONLINE YTT?
Yes, we offer a payment plan options on our Online Yoga Teacher Training so everyone can afford to join us. Start from as little as $423.75 AUD monthly for the 4 month plan. Circumstances change during the course? We can work with you to assist with deferred payments or longer payment time.

WHAT IF I FALL BEHIND ON MY ONLINE YTT STUDIES?
There is no behind! We have designed the Online Yoga Teacher Training so that everyone can gain their certification at the pace that suits them.

CAN I ACCESS LIVE CLASSES AFTER MY COURSE MONTH IS OVER?
Yes, if you are self pacing over several months or beyond, you can access the future live classes for the following courses. For example, if you join the August group you will also be able to join September, October and later group zoom classes - right up until you finish the course. Your access to live zoom classes continues right up until when you graduate from the Online RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Training; whenever that may be!

ONLINE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING TESTIMONIALS
Why Our Students Love the Santosha Online Yoga Teacher Training!
“Just as Amazing as Being in Person on the Island”
I started off my course on Nusa Lembongan, but then due unforeseen circumstances had to return home. Santosha created a whole online course for people in the same situation. And I can say that I felt so supported by Sunny and the team. The online course is different, but just as amazing as being in person on the island. We learnt a lot about just trusting yourself and the process, not to stress. The course covers Hatha yoga, philosophy, anatomy and postures, learning how to structure classes, applications of yoga, pranayama and meditation. Much love to the Santosha team!
Molly Wilson, UK – Certified Online RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Training
‘Such a Strong Sense of Community, Love and Passion through my Laptop!’
The four weeks training exceeded my expectations! Sunny and the Santosha team are so welcoming and kind, I never thought I could feel such a strong sense of community, love and passion through my laptop! The courses are well organized and very complete.
I have learned so much from yoga history to anatomy, the foundations of the asanas and breathing techniques. After four weeks I felt confident I could teach a small class. My life has been turned upside down with the COVID crisis. This training not only gave me new future perspectives, it also helped me go through a difficult time and listen to myself. I can only recommend!
Héloïse Lambert, Dubai – RYT-200 Online Yoga Teacher Training
‘Most Wonderful and Knowledgeable Instructors’
I’ve very recently completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Santosha. I’m so grateful that this opportunity came up and I was able to learn from the most wonderful and knowledgeable instructors from around the world. There is so much to learn and I have been fully supported both during the course and ongoing.
My intention was originally to deepen my own practice, as I love that inner peace I would always feel when doing yoga, and I wanted to tap into that further. I’ve come away with such amazement at what I learnt as yoga is really so much more than I thought. I’m so happy to have found answers and I want to share my love for yoga with all.
Melanie Ceveri, Australia – RYT-200 Online Yoga Teacher Training
‘You are Never too Old!’
I recently completed my RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Training. It was more than I ever imagined or hoped it could be! I had always wanted to become a certified yoga teacher, but traveled all over the world with my job. As a single Mom of 3 gorgeous daughters I just never took the time for “me”.
I signed up. I learned so much — but especially how to breathe during the asanas. I learned meditation. I learned the philosophy. I LEARNED! And I felt welcome and loved by all the instructors and other students. It was as if I finally found home.
My daily practice has become the center of my day. I know after my practice that I can handle anything life wants to throw at me.
And I am looking forward to life post-covid so that I can give back by teaching seniors and in assisted living facilities. You are never too old!
