**Self Study Pilot**
75 Hour Certificate Program
Rolling Admissions
We are piloting an invitation-only program option for our 75 Hour Certificate Program in 2024/2025. This pilot program is a ‘Self Study’ option of our standard Certificate Program that has been running for 20 years, but is entirely ‘self-study’. This means there is limited live events.
This program is designed for individuals that are highly self-motivated, technically knowledgable, and have an existing high level of training and experience in yoga and likely specialized yoga (e.g. Oncology Yoga). We recognize that many of our trained teachers would fit into this category and could be excellent candidates.
Please review provided details to assess your interest and skills. If you believe you would be a good candidate for this pilot, please submit an application.
Existing teacher discount. We will provide a small further discount to participate in the Self Study Pilot as a certified teacher. But, individuals should evaluate the self study program on its structure and style (e.g. limited support) over the reduced tuition costs.
FAQs on taking the 75 Hour Program
- Can one take ‘part ‘of the program based on what has been updated? No. The changes that have been made over the past 20 years have been systemic (like chemo). The improvements, edits, or additions have been throughout each and every subject, material and reference. It would be impossible and irresponsible to only provide access to certain elements. Please review the curriculum to better understand.
- Why has it evolved or changed? We have been offering for 20 years and medical interventions, research and guidance have fundamentally changed in that period. An oncology yoga teacher must have the latest information to be safe and effective.
- Why is it 75 hours in length when other programs are ~40 hours? After offering for 18 years at 45 hours, we identified that it was not possible to provide the facts, experience and support needed in less time. Any program that is shorter reduces the investment in that Oncology Yoga teacher. Shorter programs are valuable but we are not confident that they provide the same level of training, confidence and credibility.
- Even with the 40% discount, it is expensive. Do you have any recommendations to fund the training? Many of our existing teachers are working with their current employers – hospitals, cancer centers, integrative centers, etc – to participate. We are unable to discount further as this is the cost of the program to offer.
Testimonials by recent Program Participants:
- ‘The y4c certification program is worth enrolling in and I highly recommend it. Completed my 55hr and now upgrading to 75hr. I liked that the course included step-by-step topics, exercises, quizzes, assignments, and tutorials. The 75hr certificate program also exceeded my expectations in many regards, especially in the depth of information supplied and the access to the live events. Also, discussing and making connections with program mates from all over the world was enriching, and made us deem the possibility of addressing various issues. It was a great experience for me and it’s time to apply the knowledge that I have gained through Tari and the team for those in need.’ – Saangetha
- “My name is Meena and I am a registered nurse with 20+ years of experience in the field, of which 16 were dedicated to Oncology. I no longer work in the hospital or outpatient setting. My dream was to transition into a field from where I could continue to help patients, especially cancer patients. Coming from India, where yoga has been practiced for centuries, my thought was to adopt yoga as a way of helping people. Over the past few years, I have managed to become a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT) and a trained yoga for cancer teacher. Today, I am able to help people, including cancer patients, from a non-medical field, and this has been extremely gratifying to me. My original 45-hour training with Tari Prinster in 2019 followed by subsequent 55- and 75-hour trainings played a key role in this transition.
- I first took the yoga for cancer course through Tari Prinster in 2019, which was a 45-hour program online. However, as you all know we were supposed to do that practicum in person, but due to the pandemic this became quite normal for everyone. Coming from a nursing background, I always wanted something more that could help patients deal with the side effects of various treatments. Tari’s 45- hour yoga for cancer classes opened my eyes and taught me ways to help cancer patients as they deal with the side effects of medical treatments. I also realized during these classes that there were concepts that I wanted to dedicate more time to, therefore I took Tari’s 55-hour training session, which not only reinforced my learning, but also introduced me to new material that strengthened my overall skill base. In these additional sessions, I enjoyed the discussions during live events. Since I do not come from a teaching background, the many mentors who led those classes gave me tips and ideas for how to lead my own classes and instruct students.
- After having taken the aforementioned courses, I began to teach, but was eager to learn more. Therefore, when Yoga4Cancer offered a new 75-hour program with an option to audit the courses, I realized that this would entail additional material that I could use in my practice and did not hesitate in joining. In line with my expectations, this course was both a refresher and an introduction to new material not covered in the earlier programs, such as one module dedicated to the helping cancer patients deal with the trauma of their treatment. With that 75-hour course, Tari and her colleagues found the ideal formula for their Yoga4Cancer program. The course covered a variety of subjects, including videos, live discussions, and demos classes, and our time was always well used. 75 hours is the perfect amount of time to prepare new instructors to go out and teach their own courses. In fact, I believe that even more experienced instructors should be required to take this course again – or a version of it – to continue their educations and re-certify every few years to teach.
- I wholeheartedly recommend Yoga4Cancer for anyone looking to certify as a yoga instructor and work with cancer patients. Tari’s programs are well thought-out and carefully executed to include all the information and methods needed for teachers to be successful in their own classes. She has worked tirelessly to modify yoga poses to better serve the unique physical, mental, and emotional needs of cancer patients, and that is the key to the success of her program. She encourages us to educate our students and make them accountable for themselves and their health. This kind of yoga practice not only strengthens their immune system, but prevents infection, reduces stress and anxiety, and most importantly, gives them a sense of empowerment. These in turn help to enhance their overall quality of life and well-being, which is the type of yoga instructor that I have always strived to be.” – Meena
