Upon completion you are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200 (Registered Yoga Teacher, 200-hour). Soundmoves is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS 200) — the registration body authorising the certification. RYT 200 is the internationally recognised entry-level yoga teaching credential.
Yes. The course is delivered entirely through pre-recorded video lessons with supporting written material. There are no scheduled live sessions, no enrolment windows, and no travel required. You progress at your own pace with lifetime access from enrolment.
The course represents 200 hours of structured learning. At a steady pace of five to seven hours per week, most students complete the training over six to nine months. Lifetime access means there is no deadline — you can take longer if life requires it, or move faster if immersed.
Because the training is self-paced and delivered through pre-recorded content, the per-student cost is lower than programs with scheduled live cohorts or limited enrolment. The trade-off is asynchronous learning rather than real-time interaction with peers. The depth and quality of teaching are comparable to programs costing several times more — drawn from three decades of practice and teaching, with a focus on restorative yoga and the science of resonant breathing that is rare in 200-hour curricula.
RYS 200 (Registered Yoga School, 200-hour) is the school designation — Soundmoves is registered with Yoga Alliance as an RYS 200, meaning we are authorised to issue 200-hour certifications. RYT 200 (Registered Yoga Teacher, 200-hour) is the credential the student earns. Completing a Soundmoves RYS 200 program makes you eligible to register as an RYT 200 with Yoga Alliance.
An established personal practice of at least one to two years is strongly recommended. The course assumes familiarity with the major asanas and basic breath practices. Complete beginners would be better served by personal practice for a period before enrolling in teacher training.
You receive a Soundmoves RYS 200 certificate. You then apply directly to Yoga Alliance to register as an RYT 200 — this is a separate annual fee paid to Yoga Alliance, not to Soundmoves. Once registered, you can use the RYT 200 designation, teach independently, and advertise as a Yoga Alliance certified teacher.
Yes. You can email questions directly to me throughout your training. The asynchronous format means responses come within a few days rather than in real time, but every student gets direct teacher support.
