$600 for those who are enrolled in SCHYS’s Yoga Therapy Training Program. This tuition includes 3 online prenatal classes and 1 Practical Application Module (PAM). (The Course Planning online courses are part of the Yoga Therapy Training Program and enough prenatal applications are covered in the training program to warrant the need for just one PAM.)

Individual prices to take courses and PAMs separately: Each PAM is $400. Online classes are $120 each for four courses of 8-hours each, and $150 for one 10-hr class. If taking each piece separately, your total cost $1830, therefore, it is advised to take the $1200 option above.
