Ready to establish a complete, advanced-level yoga school?
 
An RYS 500 designation represents the highest level of foundational and advanced teacher training under Yoga Alliance standards. It combines your 200-hour and 300-hour programs into a single, comprehensive 500-hour offering—designed to support experienced practitioners in deepening their knowledge, teaching mastery, and leadership in yoga education.
 
Brain Cradle provides full support in preparing and submitting your RYS 500 application to Yoga Alliance, ensuring your materials meet all current standards and accurately reflect the integration of your 200-hour and 300-hour programs.
 
After adding this service to your cart, go to the “Manuals” section to select your 500-Hour Yoga Training Manual and customize it using the drop-down menus.

Over the course of 2–3 months, we’ll collaborate to refine your manual and present your school’s complete program as a cohesive, standards-aligned RYS 500 application.
