Yoga Therapy Program Transfer Evaluation Process

At My Vinyasa Practice, we understand the importance of recognizing your prior yoga education. Our Yoga Therapy Director is tasked with the comprehensive evaluation of transfer students to ensure their previous education aligns with the yoga therapy program’s standards and curriculum, ensuring a seamless integration of transfer students into our program. Here’s how we make sure your previous education aligns with our standards and curriculum:

Core Competency Assessment: The director examines the transfer student’s completed coursework to ensure it meets the current program’s core competencies. 

• • For example, if the student has completed a course in anatomy specific to yoga therapy, the director would compare the curriculum covered to their program’s anatomy requirements, ensuring key topics like musculoskeletal structure and the physiological impact of yoga practices are adequately addressed.

Instructor Qualification Evaluation: Our director will also be responsible for evaluating whether or not staff presenting the curriculum coming from a transfer school are qualified to teach on the topic. 

• • This involves confirming instructors’ credentials, including advanced degrees, yoga therapy certifications, and teaching experience.
  • We align these qualifications with the high standards set by our program.

Relevance of Completed Hours: Our director assesses the number of hours the student has completed and determines their relevance to the program’s learning outcomes. 

• • For example, if the student has completed 100 hours in therapeutic yoga instruction, the director would assess how those hours correspond to the program’s clinical practice requirements.

Credit Decisions: Decisions on partial or full credit for transfer students are made based on the alignment of the transfer curriculum with the existing program. 

• • The program may grant full credit for courses that directly match its curriculum in content and hours. 
  • For instance, if a transfer student has completed a 50-hour course in yoga psychology that matches the program’s course in objectives and scope, full credit would be granted. Or Full credit may be granted for courses directly matching our curriculum in content and hours.
  • Partial credit may be considered when there’s a partial match, requiring the student to complete additional coursework to meet the full requirements. Or Partial credit may be considered for partial matches, with additional coursework required.

Integration of Transfer Hours: 

• • Accepted transfer hours are integrated into the existing curriculum in a manner that maintains the integrity and continuity of the program.
  • This might involve allowing transfer hours to replace specific courses or modules or using them as prerequisites for more advanced courses within the program.

Auditing Courses for Reinforcement: Students who transfer into the program will be encouraged to audit courses they may have already been exposed to at a different school to reinforce their understanding of the material and concepts covered. This will be offered to the student at no additional cost. 

At My Vinyasa Practice, we believe in recognizing and honoring your prior yoga education. Our goal is to make your transition into our program as smooth and enriching as possible.
