Transfer Policy
If you are not a graduate of a MelMarie Yoga 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program...
Transfer students are considered on a case-by-case basis. Prior to the admissions process, Transfer Candidates will be required to do a transcript evaluation, letter of recommendation with our Program Director to determine the number of transfer hours that directly relate to required yoga therapy competencies. Students entering the program at the 500-hour level will need to complete our 56 Hour Bridge which includes Adaptive Yoga Foundations and Subtle Anatomy Training at a rate of $800 to ensure cohesion amongst Yoga Therapy Training Program before beginning their 500 Hour Yoga Therapy Certification. Depending on hours not accepted by The Institute for Integrative Care, students may be required to complete modules within the 300 Hour at $550 per module or $80 per course.
The Institute for Integrative Care integrates transfer hours into the program curriculum by course completed as it relates to IAYT Competencies within the 300 Hour Training Program.
Within the Consultation Call, we will discuss logistics and the student’s training background and experience. This allows the program director to evaluate any gap of time with teaching and training that may hinder students preparedness to transfer into the yoga therapy program. After the consultation call, the transfer student is required to send the requested documents based off of the consultation call. Within 7-12 business days transfer students will receive an email back conveying what credits were accepted and what is required before enrolling in the 500 Hour Professional Yoga Therapy Program. From there, if the transfer student decides to move forward to complete requirements and complete payments for required courses, the program director will provide access to the Bridge Program and schedule for any other requirements needed in order to begin.
