500h Customizable Manual Only
Creating a Yoga Alliance–approved RYS 500 program? Brain Cradle offers a fully customizable manual package to support both your 200-hour and 300-hour training tracks.
This service is designed for yoga schools that already have their own advanced curriculum and need help organizing and formatting it into a 500-hour manual.
An RYS 500 program combines a 200-hour foundation with an additional 300 hours of advanced training. This process begins with a 121-page Yoga Alliance–compliant foundation manual covering the four essential educational categories: Techniques & Practice, Anatomy & Physiology, Yoga Humanities, and Professional Essentials. This base manual provides the structure you need but does not include add-ons.
Want more? Select your add-ons below, and Brain Cradle will customize your manual to reflect your program. Options include Intro to Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Trauma-Informed Teaching, and Mythological Origins (illustrations).
Once your foundational content is set, we’ll work with you to deepen your offerings and integrate your advanced content—ensuring your 500-hour program brings together both the required foundations and your Lead Trainer’s unique expertise.
What’s Included
✅ 200h Manual (PDF) – customized with Brain Cradle's foundational content
✅ 3 months of one-on-one support to integrate and organize your 300h Advanced material
✅ Guidance to ensure your complete 500h manual aligns with Yoga Alliance RYS 500 Standards
