The yoga4cancer Certificate Program is intentionally designed to be flexible and self-paced—supporting diverse schedules, time zones, and learning styles across our global community. You have full control over when and how you study, practice, and learn each week. That said, we’ve developed clear recommendations based on 20+ years of experience to help you stay on track and get the most out of your training.
A Progressive Approach to Learning
Our program follows a progressive learning model, which builds skills and knowledge in a logical sequence. This approach prioritizes how to think—not just what to memorize. Each of the eight modules builds on the one before it, and must be completed in order. This structure supports critical thinking, comprehension, and real-world application of Oncology Yoga. Learn more about our commitment to develop critical thinking.
- No skipping ahead! This isn’t just a rule—it’s a proven method to ensure your success.
Recommended Study Pace for the 75 Hours of Curriculum:
To complete the 75-hour curriculum with confidence and clarity, we recommend the following pace:
- 4–8 hours per week
- Over 2–4 months
- With consistent, weekly engagement
Ideally, your study schedule should be contiguous—meaning regular, uninterrupted learning. Taking long breaks between modules can disrupt your flow, reduce retention, and lead to the need to revisit earlier content.
Additional Tips for Success:
- Stick to the sequence. Each module builds foundational knowledge for the next. Following the order is essential to understanding the method as a whole.
- Reading the Manual. The +260-page Training Manual is an essential companion to the online program. For best results, read it alongside your online studies as directed in the course. Do not read ahead or lag behind.
- Avoid long gaps. Extended pauses may require reviewing earlier material to refresh your understanding.
