The Owners/Directors of each of the yoga centers within this umbrella organization are all members of the Advisory Board, the Faculty and help co-Direct the programs.
Students who join this program are in the very competent hands of all these women and men who value integrity and quality.
SCHYS is known for its approach to teaching which welcomes students to honor where they are and yet gently guides students to progress in their practice.
These Training Programs train yoga teachers to become better at their craft, more knowledgable in ways to help others as well as placing emphasis on the transformation of the individual to become more calm and balanced. We understand that yoga is not just about the movements or postures called asanas. Evidence-based research shows yoga helps reduce stress and can help with many other therapeutic issues.
SCHYS is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with the Yoga Alliance for the 200-Hour, 300-Hour, Yoga for Children and Prenatal Yoga Programs. SCHYS is currently undergoing approval with the accreditation committee of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) for the Yoga Therapy Program (1000-hour). The accreditation process may take up to one-year. We expect to hear from the Accreditation Board some time in 2015. We believe our program to meet, if not surpass their standards.
