SYTA offers on-line training for its members and other interested persons via the Satyananda Yoga Academy Moodle site.
Two options are available - Bridging to the Diploma of Satyananda Yoga Training and Exercise Science as a stand alone qualification.
Bridging to the Diploma of Satyananda Yoga Training
Bridging courses have been available since August 2008 and were developed as an interim measure to assist current students during the changeover of the Satyananda Diploma of Yoga Teaching to the Diploma of Satyananda Yoga Training. The two year period during which they were to be made available is now ended, and Bridging will no longer be available through the Satyananda Yoga Academy (SYA).
Students are now required to apply for the Diploma bridging training through the Satyananda Yoga Teachers Association (SYTA) which currently offers this area of study as professional development and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Information on these courses is available here in the Bridging Handbook All modules offered in this bridging programme have been prepared based on the requirements for the Satyananda Yoga Academy (SYA) Diploma of Satyananda Yoga Training. SYA will continue to monitor, create and approve SYTA bridging course content to ensure that it is consistent with SYA Diploma requirements.
Bridging Options Summary
- Bridging from a completed Diploma of Satyananda Yoga Teaching to the Diploma of Satyananda Yoga Training

Exercise Science
SYTA has embarked on an ambitious programme of Professional Development by offering Exercise Science training to all who are interested in adding to their skill base as yoga teachers. SYTA, in conjunction with SYA, now offers Exercise Science (ES) as a professional development opportunity for yoga teachers from the Satyananda and other yoga traditions.The four modules in this course have been developed by Satyananda Yoga Academy (SYA) as part of the Diploma in Satyananda Yoga Training. The focus of the course of Exercise Science is the application of functional anatomy and physiology (A&P) to yoga. The four modules ES1-ES4 are offered on-line to both SYTA and non-SYTA members, keeping in mind that the courses assume a clear understanding of the practices of Satyananda Yoga . The attached Exercise Science Handbook provides details of the course, costs and an enrolment form.
