One Journey
A Lifetime of Growth
The Yoga 500 is more than earning three certifications. It's making a commitment to yourself.
A commitment to deepen your practice, expand your knowledge, discover your authentic teaching voice, and build a lifelong relationship with yoga.
By combining our complete Yoga 200 and Yoga 300 pathways into one seamless experience, you'll receive over 500 hours of education, seven specialty certifications, personalized mentorship, and a community that supports your growth every step of the way.
Because becoming an exceptional teacher isn't something you complete. It's someone you become.
Imagine Three Years From Now...
Imagine looking back and realizing that one decision changed everything.
You developed a daily practice that continues to support you.
You found your authentic teaching voice. You built meaningful relationships with students and fellow teachers.
You explored specialties that genuinely inspired you.
You gained the confidence to teach, mentor, lead retreats, or simply live with greater presence.
Most importantly...
You discovered that your greatest transformation wasn't becoming a yoga teacher. It was becoming more fully yourself.
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.
One Continuous Journey. No starting over. No losing momentum. No wondering what comes next.

-
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.
Your Journey Begins Here
Your training. Your timeline. Your path. Here's how to go from enrollment to RYT-500 — all managed inside the Yogi Institute app.
-
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!

Note From Jill
When someone chooses the Yoga 500, they're making one of the biggest commitments they'll make in their yoga journey.
They're choosing to invest not only in certifications, but in who they're becoming over the months and years ahead. That isn't a decision I take lightly.
My role isn't simply to teach you anatomy, sequencing, philosophy, or business. My role is to walk beside you as you discover your own voice, deepen your relationship with yoga, and grow into the teacher only you can become.
There will be moments when learning feels exciting, moments when it feels challenging, and moments when you'll surprise yourself with how much you've grown. Through it all, you'll never be walking this path alone.
If you're ready to make yoga more than something you practice—if you're ready to make it part of the way you live, serve, and lead—it would be an honour to welcome you into this journey.
I believe in you, and I can't wait to see where this path leads.
The light in me sees, honours, reflects, and encourages the light in you.
Namaste,
Jill Enticknap
Founder & Lead Trainer
"The Yoga 500 is for the person who knows this is more than a hobby. If you feel that pull — trust it. I'll be right here when you're ready." — Jill
