  • The International Yoga Studies Teacher Certification Program (IYS TCP) is a strong yet flexible training program that requires student commitment and self-discipline.

  • The IYS TCP is structured in yearly Intensives and weekend Workshops.  Typically the full IYC TCP takes 4 years to complete.

  • IYS has direct contact with its students through the "mentoring" process and yearly Intensives.  Although students study with a variety of teachers to complete their program, they are typically 'mentored' by one teacher who assists them in their direction and choices.  This mentor/teacher is assigned only during the Induction Process which takes place after acceptance into the IYS TCP.

  • Each student's situation is different.  Information concerning credits given for students' prior education, the number of hours needed to complete the program, the exact cost of each program, and the amount of local attendance versus 'travel-to' courses cannot be assessed prior to admission into the program.

  • IYS is interested in applications from individuals who know that an 'out-of-walls' education style is best designed for them and who are fully committed to the highest levels of training.

  • IYS TCP does not offer all of the workshops that students take to complete their programs.  Each program is designed and implemented by the student who selects where, when and how they want to focus their study.

  • It is not the intent of International Yoga Studies to be the largest certify body, but rather a resource and an opportunity for students committed to the highest standards of education.  We pride ourselves in the quality of our students and our program rather than on the number of students we can gather.

  • To make sure there is a good 'fit' between school and student, we ask prospective students to attend one International Yoga Studies Teacher Training Intensive, offered annually, before making application to the program.  For these 4-day yearly Intensives, students arrive on a Thursday afternoon, attend classes from Thursday evening through Monday at 5 p.m. (some Intensives are Wednesday evening through Sunday at 5 p.m.).
