Once you’ve completed an RYT 200 Teacher Training, you have the opportunity to continue your training at the 500-hour level. This requires an additional 300 hours of training through a Yoga Alliance-approved Registered Yoga School (RYS). Jaya Yoga Teacher Training has been an RYS with Yoga Alliance since .
We created a module-style program that can be completed within a time frame that works for you; completing an RYT500 within 2-3 years or over ten years. Each year we offer week-long intensives both domestically and internationally that can be applied towards your RYT500 as you feel inspired to learn and grow as a practitioner and teacher. There are also some shorter (1, 2 and 3 day) trainings at our studio, and around the Northwest that can also apply.
The One Week Intensive format has proven to be an amazing opportunity for growth, connection, and transformation. Taking some real time away from everyday life to create a “pattern interrupt” creates the space to discover the essence of who you truly are. Community and travel to sacred locations are also a great benefit of our RYT 500 Program.
As a prerequisite, attendees must have a foundational yoga teacher training completed (RYT 200 or equivalent training) AND you will be required to be enrolled in the SAYF Certification as a prerequisite for your attendance in our Advanced Training so there will be consistency in terms of biomechanical terms and understanding, as well as, accessibility options for asana (these hours count toward your overall 300 hours). This insures that you have a solid understanding of our style of teaching regarding sacred energy flow, bandhas and aligning the body from a human movement perspective to help prevent yoga injury.
Here are some of the workshops and trainings currently scheduled as part of our 300-hour program:

Jaya Yoga Training Highlights
- At the 500 hour level we tailor the focus of our week-long intensives to those who are attending and
- we deeply study Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, including the essentials of Yoga philosophy, the 3-Step Plan, 8 Limbed System, and Yamas and Niyamas.
- We teach asana/postures/modifications/vinyasas (some unique to Jaya Yoga) from an alignment, kinesiology, and energetic perspective. We explore asana thoroughly to balance the muscles and prevent yoga injury, looking at asana together as standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists, arm balances and inversions.
- Kinesiology is the study of movement, performance, and function by applying the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, and psychology. From a yogic perspective, we look deeply into the poses and apply the ancient science of bandhas (energetic seals/locks) with modern functional strength/muscle balancing. Additionally, we take into consideration skeletal anatomy and develop an understanding of the physiology of stretching to "see" both the benefits and limitations of asana to balance the physical body.
- Discussion of common yoga injuries and how to prevent them through progression, modifications, and options.
- We develop an understanding of the subtle energy body: koshas, chakras, rasas and nadis, and understand the benefit of pranayama, kriya, mudra, and asana to connect with the inherent vital energy that we are.
- Energetically balancing our classes with hatha and vinyasa. The energetic and physical practices of mantra and mudra will be introduced and practiced, including practical ways you can incorporate them into classes. Meditation and pratyahara (sense withdrawal) will be daily practice using a variety of techniques, as will the other limbs of the 8-limbed system.
- Mindful Adjustments. Learning to connect individually and energetically with students first, and secondly, through visual, verbal, and touch. Physical adjustments are an advanced teaching technique that should be applied with experience once a teacher has become comfortable with teaching technique and creating connection.
