Continuing Education Credits

Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
Proverbs 9:9

To maintain the high level of integrity that is the Holy Yoga family and the Holy Yoga experience, Certified Holy Yoga Instructors (C-HYI) are expected to consistently grow in intimacy with Christ through prayer, a knowledge of God through scripture study, and the furthering of their yoga education. The Holy Yoga Continuing Education Program was created to facilitate and document C-HYIs ongoing growth in serving the Lord and His flock through Holy Yoga Programs.

Every three years after completing a Holy Yoga Certification, documentation of Continuing Education (CE) should be submitted to Holy Yoga for review.

100/200/300/500/Therapy C-HYIs must complete 95 hours of CE within three years from the date of their initial certification and every three years thereafter. This total number of hours may be provided by a C-HYI 500 or other qualified instructor and must include:

45 hours teaching yoga
50 hours of training, of which at least 10 training hours must be contact (live online or in the same room as the instructor) hours. These training hours must be directly related to one of our Foundational Categories (yoga and soul care) and portioned out as follows:
- 26 hours of yoga related hours – see eligible programs below
- 24 hours of soul care related hours – see eligible programs below

TEACHING HOURS

These hours are acquired by teaching yoga within a three-year period. Teaching may consist of regular classes, workshops and/or retreats in either the Holy Yoga or Hatha Yoga style.

SOUL CARE

Intimacy with Christ is the most important call on our lives as followers of Jesus and Holy Yoga Instructors. We believe ordering our lives through spiritual disciplines allows us to place value on receiving His love and grace first and then offering that overflow to those we teach. We will only teach what we know for ourselves. This is spiritual health.

It is difficult to measure the formation of our souls in spiritual practice except by love: love of God and love of others. However, we strongly encourage a few immeasurable spiritual disciplines and will continue to support your growth: time on the mat, time in the Word (Bible study), prayer and meditation, community, solitude and silence, and retreat. We call this soul care.

Examples of soul care-related hours Holy Yoga offers:

Ignite – 20 contact hours
Holy Yoga Bible Study – Eight contact hours
Empower Retreat – Eight contact hours
Holy Yoga TV meditations and podcasts
Soul Coffees
