Can I run my foundation training courses online?
Yes, you can run foundation courses online, but the contact hours must be delivered live. We do not accredit courses taught as on-demand, asynchronous, or self-paced learning.
Why This Matters
Live delivery helps protect the quality of training and gives students direct access to their teachers. We require real-time interaction so students can ask questions, receive guidance, and learn in a supported environment.
What This Means for You
- You can run an accredited training course online
- Online contact hours must be delivered through live streaming
- On-demand, asynchronous, and self-paced courses are not eligible for accreditation
- Online contact hours are treated the same as live in-person contact hours
- Students must be able to interact directly with the Senior Yoga Teacher during training
What You Need to Do
- Plan your course so all contact hours are delivered live
- Use a live online platform that allows real-time teaching and interaction
- Do not structure the course as on-demand, asynchronous, or self-paced
- Make sure students can engage directly with the teaching team during sessions
