500-Hour Yoga Curriculum Foundation

Our 500-hour Yoga Curriculum Foundation is delivered as a 170+ page, white-label 500-hour training manual designed to provide a comprehensive starting point for developing a 500-hour training.
 
The Foundation builds upon the educational topics identified by Yoga Alliance for both 200-hour and 300-hour training programs, providing a structured foundation that can be further customized with your school’s own content, teaching approach, lineage, and educational resources.
 
Our Curriculum Foundations are designed in a semi-workbook format and personalized with your yoga school name, logo, Lead Trainer name, and trainer biographies, creating a polished and cohesive learning experience for your trainees.
 
The $1,498 Curriculum Foundation price includes the foundational development required to understand your professional background and expertise and incorporate your perspective into relevant areas of the Curriculum Foundation. This ensures your advanced curriculum is not simply an extension of foundational material, but reflects the knowledge and experience you bring as an educator.
 
Curriculum Development
 
The Curriculum Foundation includes the foundational development required to complete your 500-hour curriculum, including:
 
School and educator questionnaires to gather information about your professional background, teaching approach, areas of expertise, and educational goals.
Curriculum development across applicable educational categories based on your background and areas of expertise.
Integration of your professional perspective and teaching approach into relevant areas of the Curriculum Foundation.
Development of appropriate Seva and practice-teaching components.
Review and refinement to ensure the Foundation reflects your educational approach and professional voice.
 
The Curriculum Foundation includes this baseline level of development as part of the $1,498 price. Most clients choose to build beyond this initial scope.
 
If you would like to incorporate additional content—such as your own elective, specialized subject matter, additional educational resources, or other curriculum components—additional work can be quoted separately based on scope. Additional work is always discussed and approved before it begins.
 
The full curriculum development process typically takes 2–4 weeks.
 
Asana Content
 
Each Brain Cradle Curriculum Foundation includes Sukhasana (Easy Pose) and Savasana (Corpse Pose) as foundational postures. All additional asanas are intentionally selected through the Asana Library, allowing each curriculum to reflect the unique teaching style, lineage, sequencing approach, and educational goals of the yoga professional.
 
Mind Map
 
Included with your purchase is the Brain Cradle Mind Map, a custom visual overview of the topics introduced throughout your Curriculum Foundation, along with detailed guidance for using the Mind Map.
 
This resource helps Lead Trainers organize their training schedule, sequence educational content, and develop a cohesive training experience with clarity and confidence.
 
Printing
 
Printed copies are produced and shipped through Brain Cradle’s print partner and are available exclusively to Brain Cradle customization clients. Printed manuals are sold separately.
 
Curriculum Foundations are delivered as view-only PDFs to preserve the integrity of the curriculum and its formatting.
