Our Online RYT-200 Yoga Course Format
Our Online Teacher Training is completely self-paced; you can complete it in one month, or study in a timeframe that suits you over a year or longer. The online RYT-200 course is delivered via four main components:
– Your online course video content, practices, manuals, and modules – work through at your own pace (start from the moment you sign up)
– Optional LIVE Zoom classes – attend live via zoom in your time-zone – or watch later in your own time, includes practice teaching and interactive labs
– Interactive support – ask questions and learn directly from your dedicated online course teachers
– Supportive online community – bond with students and master teachers from all over the world
Unlike other teacher training programs, you are participating in a LIVE online training – not just a pre recorded set of lectures and practices to work through on your own. All our live zoom yoga classes, practices, and workshops are optional and recorded so you can watch this content that best suits you.
Journey through your Yoga Alliance Certification Training in real time – as well as having immediate access to your online modules. During the Online Teacher Training access live zoom classes, meditation, pranayama and yoga practices, posture clinics, and mentor sessions – for a fully interactive and supported live yoga teacher training experience!
Study Online at your own Pace and Time
The Online Teacher Training course is delivered across 3 time-zones so you will always be able to attend a class. We are the only yoga school to organically create the schedule each month in response to the needs of our students and to suit the time zones in the group.
Work and family commitments? Don’t worry, you can always catch up – all classes are recorded and can be viewed later. Each region has a mentor who supports you to ensure you get the most from your online training studies.
Can’t make a live session? Not a problem – all lives are OPTIONAL. Classes are also recorded and uploaded for immediate access, so you never have to worry about missing a moment of this increible learning experience. If our students have a specific question they can also request live zoom calls with a course teacher.

Then when your training dates begin you have access to our optional live zoom classes. You can choose to participate in these live online; or you can watch the recordings of these classes later.

No, you can start your yoga training from the minute you sign up. We will give you immediate access to all the comprehensive video modules, classes, handouts and specialised teaching Yoga Manuals which give you all you need to begin your yoga teaching journey.
WHAT YOGA STYLE IS TAUGHT AT SANTOSHA YOGA INSTITUTE?
The yoga we teach on our courses is an authentic 'vini' flow - which connects Hatha Yoga postures in short flowing Vinyasa yoga sequences. The yoga taught draws from the Sri T Krishnamacharya lineage - a therapeutic and holistic approach to yoga teaching the goal of which is to create healing and wellbeing in mind, body and breath. As all of our yoga school teachings have been passed down through the Sri T Krishnamacharya lineage, this builds a strong and authentic foundation for your yoga 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 with genuine therapeutic benefits - based on authentic ancient wisdom built upon by Yogis for thousands of years!
WILL I BE ABLE TO TEACH VINYASA YOGA?
Yes, vinyasa yoga joins traditional hatha yoga postures (Adho Mukha Shvanasana/ Downward Facing Dog, Virabhadrasana/ Warrior etc) together in a series of flowing sequences. Aspiring teachers learn how to correctly teach each individual posture and then move on to sequencing these in a series of flowing yoga sequences, which can be modified to suit all students and combined to create full vinyasa yoga classes.
WHAT ARE THE MODULES ON THE ONLINE COURSE?
Your online course modules and video content include Yoga Anatomy, Yoga Postures, Developing a Daily Yoga Practice, Yoga Teaching and Sequencing, Meditation, Pranayama, Therapeutic Application of Yoga, Yoga and Mental Health, Yoga Business, Trauma Informed Yoga Teaching, Yoga Philosophy and Yoga Sutras, Yoga Philosophy for Daily Living, Yoga Nidra, Mantra & Kirtan, Pre and Post Natal Yoga basics. We use a varied teaching methodology to present this information to our aspiring teachers, so everyone can learn how to teach and share their passion for yoga.
CAN I JOIN YOU IN PERSON ON THE BYRON BAY OR BALI YOGA TEACHER TRAINING COURSE?
Yes, if you would like to join us in person on one of our Byron Bay or Bali 200 Hour Trainings an upgrade can be easily arranged. You only need to pay the difference in cost between the online and Byron Bay or Bali yoga training courses, no extra tuition charges apply.
CAN I JOIN 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 online course. You can absolutely participate in the yoga training - and go on to teach yoga - utilising modifications or alternate postures. Our yoga school has a strong focus on ensuring we are teaching safe and effective yoga classes 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 trained and knowledgeable teachers and ensure that you are kept safe and looked after in any live zoom yoga classes or other physical practice.
CAN I SELF PACE ON THE COURSE?
Absolutely! Our online course is completely self paced. You can complete the training in one month, or study in a timeframe that suits you. We have had so many full-time workers, parents and students join us for this reason. If you do not complete the online training in your intake month, you are given access to live zoom classes right up until you graduate - however long that takes you! If you have a specific question you can also request live zoom calls with a course teacher.
HOW MANY HOURS A DAY DO I STUDY ON THE ONLINE COURSE?
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 four 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. We also encourage you to incorporate your learning holistically into your daily life, so you can gain the benefits of a yogic lifestyle and experience personal growth through a deeper understanding of the traditional teachings.
WHAT IF I CANNOT COMPLETE THE ONLINE 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 your intake month 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 zoom 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?
Yes, we offer a payment plan options so everyone can afford to join us. Start from as little as $318 AUD monthly for the 5 x month plan. Circumstances change during the course? We can work with you to assist with deferred payment options or longer payment time.
DO I NEED TECH EQUIPMENT?
Not all all! We have designed this course to be accessible to EVERYONE - with no complicated tech requirements to join. As long as you have access to a laptop or device with wifi enabled and can join us in Zoom (we can help you with this) you are ready to join us!
WHAT IF I FALL BEHIND ON MY STUDIES?
There is no behind! We have designed this course so that everyone can gain their certification to teach yoga at the pace that suits them. All 'live' online classes are recorded so you can always catch up in your own time. We fully support you to find a study schedule that works best for YOU.
CAN I ACCESS LIVE ZOOM 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 course; whenever that may be!
ARE THERE ASSIGNMENTS ON THE CERTIFIED ONLINE RYT-200 COURSE?
There are several simple assignments to complete throughout the course as you learn different aspects of yoga, such as meditation and self-practice. Then at the end of the course there is one final assessment, which can easily be filmed on your phone. This is nothing to be concerned about - we provide you with all the guidance and feedback you need to complete this with ease when the time comes. Our students find completing this exercise very fun and empowering, giving them the confidence to begin teach yoga straight away!
CAN I JOIN FROM ANYWHERE?
The course runs across 3 time-zones so everyone can join us. Join from anywhere in the world and have easy access to live Zoom classes and mentor sessions, as well as pre recorded lectures, videos and readings. Can't join live sessions due to your situation? Not a problem - all lives are recorded and uploaded for you to learn from in your time.
CAN I TAKE AS LONG AS I NEED?
Yes, you can. For those that need longer, there is the option to self-pace, taking as long as you need to complete your study. We will be alongside you every step of the way offering you weekly mentor sessions, the opportunity to rewatch the live lectures and continued support of your yoga teachers to share this life changing experience with.
DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING 'IN PERSON' TO GAIN YOGA ALLIANCE CERTIFICATION?
No, this course is designed so you can complete your studies and graduate as a Certified RYT-200 Yoga Teacher online completely from home. You do not need to complete any classes in a studio - our course is 100% online. We have worked hard to create our in person training and classes fully online via Podia and Zoom; meaning you do not have to complete any additional in-person aspects to learn how to teach and graduate as an RYT-200 Yoga instructor! There are no mandatory 'in person' elements on top of your study, as we recognise this can be challenging during this time.
WHAT IF I'M BUSY DURING 'LIVE' CLASSES?
Not a problem! All our Online Yoga Teacher Training live online classes, mentor catch-ups, Q+As and other interactive sessions are recorded and uploaded for you to access and watch in your time, so you never have to worry about missing a moment our Online yoga course due to work, parenting or life commitments.
WHEN WILL I BE READY TO TEACH YOGA?
You will be ready to teach straight away once you graduate, having gained the skills, yoga practice teaching, knowledge and confidence to become a certified yoga teacher and to sequence and lead meditation and yoga classes with ease! We began our Certified online course during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and we now have Santosha Certified Online YTT graduates teaching all over the world, with the yoga teaching and yoga business skills they have learned with us on the online course.
I HAVE NOT STUDIED FOR A LONG TIME NOR DO I KNOW MUCH ABOUT TECHNICAL THINGS. WILL THIS BE SUITABLE FOR ME?
Yes! We have so many students who have not studied for a long time or are not familiar with internet technology, so we have lots of back-up support for our easy to use systems and learning portals. All our students have a dedicated student support assistant, whose role is to assist you with whatever arises during your time with us - before, during and after your course. Our unique online workshops and lectures are designed for learning to be grasped by all levels, with varied learning techniques and teaching methods.
I AM OLDER AND CANNOT DO ALL THE POSTURES, CAN I STILL JOIN YOU?
At Santosha we believe that yoga is for everybody - and ALL bodies - and that your yoga practice should meet you where you are at. It is NOT a problem at all if there are certain postures which are not accessible to you personally. There is no age barrier to access the incredible benefits of these practices; and sharing them with others through teaching yoga! We are getting more and more students joining us in their 50s, 60s and beyond - and we love it! You can read about Evelyn's experience participating in the course in her 60's in the link below.
EVELYN'S STORYIS THIS AN AUTHENTIC TRAINING WHICH GOES DEEPER INTO THE TRUE MEANING OF YOGA?
Like yoga itself, this course goes far beyond the physical. Alongside learning all you need to teach asana (the yoga postures) you will gain knowledge of yoga philosophy, meditation, pranayama and more, to allow you to connect to the deeper aspects of yoga and the ancient teachings of yoga for mind, body and spirit.
IS THERE A WRITTEN EXAM OR FINAL EXAM?
No, we do not require you to pass a written test. There is a short yoga teaching assessment where you are able to put the skills and knowledge you have learned during the course to use to teach yoga to a friend or family member. This can be easily recorded on your phone and is very simple to complete. Students usually find this very empowering and we give you plenty of time, information and guidance to prepare you for this simple exercise. This exercise gives you a strong foundation from which to start teaching yoga and become a certified yoga teacher - if this is your goal.
DO I NEED TO BUY ADDITIONAL BOOKS OR RESOURCES TO JOIN THE ONLINE YOGA COURSE?
We provide all the learning materials you need to complete the Online Yoga Teacher Training. The only additional reading is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. This is available in audiobook, book or e-book for Kindle. For your future Yoga Teaching Library, we recommend these books: Yoga for Wellness, Key Muscles of Yoga, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.

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, yoga philosophy, yoga 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.

‘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!
