What are some of the learning activities in the CYT-200?

In addition to reading and watching videos, you’ll be given plenty of activities in the teacher’s manuals to reinforce your knowledge. For example, you may be asked to journal or discuss how you are living certain tenets of yoga or how you might handle real-life yoga class situations.

We ask students to take quizzes to test their knowledge (which may be re-taken as many times as needed…it’s not about a grade, it’s about learning).  We provide plenty of videos to appeal to visual learners and ask you to practice hands-on activities to prepare you for real-world teaching.

Essays are written as part of your CYT program; we want you to take the opportunity for reflection on the materials you’ve read, watched and studied. We also require students to submit a video of themselves teaching so we may offer constructive feedback. Don’t be nervous about this video! We are not looking to nitpick, but only to offer encouragement and useful feedback that you can use to make yourself the best teacher possible. There is no such thing as a perfect yoga class and we don’t expect you to be perfect! Just be yourself and be open to constructive feedback and it’ll be a wonderful growth opportunity.
