Equivalence: Applicants do not necessarily need to be a Yoga Australia Level 1 Registered Yoga Teacher or have Yoga Alliance RYT 500 registration, but need to demonstrate that their learning is equivalent. Applicants who do not have either of these teaching qualifications are recommended to use the guidelines from the Yoga Australia Level 1 Registered Yoga Teacher Membership table to show the equivalence of training, ie. to map your training against the standards scroll down and view curriculum guideline comparing content hours for various teacher trainings (200, 300, 350 & 1000 hours) (www.yogaaustralia.org.au/full-membership/)

Special Consideration: Will be given to professionals who hold dual qualifications in Yoga Teaching and another Health Care Modality.
