Continuing Professional Development
The yogic path is one of perpetual learning and growth.
Members of Yoga Australia accrue 12 points of CPD each year. The CPD year aligns with the Financial Year, 1st July – 30th June. The points don’t carry to the new cycle. Everyone starts at zero.
Your CPD journey can vary from year to year. Some years might see you enthusiastically investing in your personal and teaching growth via certified courses, while others might be more relaxed in the way of self-education or attending workshops. Our goal is to ensure that every member, regardless of budget or time constraints, has accessible avenues for continuing education.
Kinds of Learning
We have simplified our CPD classification for ease of tracking and accrual.
Active learning earns one point per hour. The easiest examples are attending a workshop, receiving mentoring, doing an online CPD short course and quiz, or studying a book and submitting a reflection paragraph. The only exception is passive learning. If you’re just watching a pre-recorded video of some sort and do nothing else, it takes two hours to earn one point.
Attending another teacher’s class is something we strongly encourage but is not counted as CPD.

Active
Attending a course or workshop, personal study with reflection, assisting on teacher training courses

Mentoring

As many paths as there are people.
Hypermobility is the Yoga Australia teacher record app. Log your CPD from your phone and watch the year fill toward twelve points. Your Career Milestones keep the larger trainings, and every entry pairs with your member portal.
CPD Short Courses
Our growing library of CPD Short Courses (learning modules developed by Registered Level 3 (Senior) Teachers and other experts) cater to diverse learning preferences and provide valuable insights to enhance your teaching and personal growth. We also provide high quality CPD Short Courses with quizzes that provide 1, 2, or 3 points depending on complexity. These automatically add to your CPD Tracker, so you don’t need to submit them manually.
