Why Choose the Yoga 500?

You could do the 200 and 300 separately. But here's why our most serious students choose the full 500 from the start.

  • Purchasing the Yoga 200 and Yoga 300 separately costs more than enrolling in the Yoga 500 as a bundle. You get the same world-class training — every module, every certification, every hour of support — at a lower total investment.

  • Instead of finishing the 200, pausing, then re-enrolling for the 300 — you move through one continuous journey. Your momentum stays intact, your community stays the same, and your growth never stalls.

  • Unlike the structured Yoga 300 cohort, the 500 lets you design your own 12-month training calendar. Work with Jill to map out the order that fits your goals, your schedule, and your interests — then access each module through the Yogi Institute app as your plan unfolds.

  • By the end, you hold your RYS 200, RYS 300, and RYS 500 certifications — plus up to 7 individual specialty certifications and YACEP continuing education credits. You'll be eligible to register as an RYT-500 with Yoga Alliance, the highest standard in the industry.

  • The 1:1 coaching tier includes 15 private sessions with Jill (compared to 12 in the standalone Yoga 300). That's more time to work on your mindset, your teaching voice, your business plan, and your career trajectory — all personalized to you.

  • Your entire 500-hour training — every module, every manual, every live session link, every progress tracker — lives inside the Yogi Institute app. No juggling between separate enrollments or portals. One login. One home. Download on iOS or Android.

  • Choose the yoga style that will anchor your foundation: Vinyasa, Strength, Kundalini, or Yin + Restore.

    Since the Yoga 500 covers all styles, pick the one you enjoy doing most — starting with what lights you up builds momentum and keeps you excited to show up.

    Grab the required textbooks for the Yoga 200 portion of your training. This will be slightly different depending on the style you start with BUT you will need them all eventually.

  • Pull up your calendar and carve out dedicated time for study and practice. How many hours per week can you realistically commit? Block that time. Protect it. This training will give you exactly what you put in — and building a consistent rhythm from day one sets you up for success.

  • Work through the three foundational Yoga 200 modules at your pace. Build your teaching voice, deepen your anatomy knowledge, practice teaching, and earn your RYS 200 certification — your first major milestone.

  • Once your Yoga 200 is complete, you have two choices:

    Option A: (Recommended)

    Jump into the current module the Yoga 300 cohort is working on and move with the group.

    Option B:

    Choose which modules you want to start with and customize your own path.

    Either way — commit to attending office hours, sharing in the community inside the app, and asking for support when you need it. You're not doing this alone.

  • Month by month, work through 12 of the advanced modules. Kundalini, anatomy, yin, meditation, trauma-informed teaching, business — each one deepens your expertise and adds a new certification or advanced training to your credentials.

    Track everything in the app.

    Remind yourself constantly that this is a marathon, a way of life, a transformational system that is learned and experienced over time, NOT A SPRINT.

  • As you complete each module, submit your written exams, final projects, and recorded teaching evaluations.

    Know that you can combine teaching evaluations along the way. For example, if you want to add inversions to your strength teaching evaluation it will count for both.

    Jill personally reviews your work and issues your Certificate of Completion for each module.

  • Once all 500+ hours and requirements are complete, you earn your Yoga Alliance RYS 500 certification— qualifying you to register as an RYT-500, the highest standard in yoga instruction. You did it. Time to celebrate, teach, and share your gift with the world.

    Maybe to celebrate you book the next Yogi Institute retreat! You deserve it!
