Homework Submissions

Throughout the course, you are required to submit homework, including videos and written assignments.

From Module 1 to 19, you will engage in approximately 5 hours of video content and create several class plans, totaling more than three hours of assignments. These tasks are essential for tracking your progress and ensuring you are well-prepared for the final exam.

There are both optional assignments, which encourage self-assessment, and mandatory assignments that must be submitted to your mentor. Your mentor will provide detailed feedback to help you refine your teaching skills.

The deadline for submitting homework is one month after the last Zoom call. You will always receive feedback on your mandatory homework assignments; however, they do not need to be submitted before any Zoom call. If you would like more personalized feedback on your general practice, you can arrange a one-on-one private session with your mentor.

Clarification: Video or Written Instructions?

Sometimes, video instructions may differ from the written ones. This is because written instructions are updated more quickly than the video versions. If there’s any doubt, always follow the written instructions.

How to Submit Your Homework

1. Download the Homework Submission Template

You will be provided with a Google Sheets template for logging your homework submissions.

> Download the template from the link provided (your mentor will also share it after the first Zoom call).

HOMEWORKS SUBMISSION SHEET FOR STUDENTS

> Once downloaded, upload the template to your own Google Drive account (this is necessary to be able to edit it).

2. Rename the File

Once the template is uploaded to your Google Drive, rename the file to make it easier for your mentor to identify your submission.

  • Right-click on the file and select Rename.
  • Change the file name to:
    “Name_Surname_Study Group Name_Homework Submissions Sheet”
    (e.g., John_Doe_AjahGroup_HomeworkSubmissionsSheet).

3. Fill Out the Template for Each Module

  • Open the Google Sheets template from your Google Drive.
  • Each module has its tab where you will log your homework assignments.
    • Video Submissions: Paste the link to your YouTube video in the appropriate section.
    • Written Assignments: Enter your written work directly into the designated fields in the template (no need for uploading links).

Be sure to update each tab as you complete assignments for the corresponding module.

4. Share the Template with Your Mentor

Once you’ve completed your entries in the Homework Submission Template and saved your changes, you’ll need to share the file with your mentor so they can review and provide feedback.

  • Ensure your file is saved in Google Drive (it’s saved automatically if you’re working on it in Google Sheets).
  • Right-click on the file you’ve uploaded to your Google Drive.
  • From the dropdown menu, select Get link.
  • In the window that pops up, change the Link Sharing settings so that anyone with the link can edit. This will give your mentor direct access to provide feedback within the file.

5. Notify Your Mentor

After you’ve updated your Google Sheets template, send a message to your mentor via the platform with the link to your shared file.

Example message:
“Hi [Mentor Name],
I have completed my homework for [Module X] and updated the Google Sheet. You can view it here: [link to the Google Sheet].
Thank you!”

Video Submission Guidelines

A lot of your submissions will be recorded on camera. Your alignment and technique will always be assessed first, followed by additional assessment criteria mentioned in the homework assignments.

To make your assessment as useful as possible:

  • Place the mat in front of the camera at a diagonal angle, front-facing forward.
  • Ensure your alignment is visible, with hands and feet staying within the camera view during poses.
  • Ensure your voice is clear and easily audible.
  • If you have students available, engage them and ensure they are visible.
  • If you do not have anyone to teach, don’t worry. You can still teach to the camera. Use mirroring techniques to demonstrate the right and left, both verbally and physically.


Naming Your Homework

Before submitting, name all your homework files uniformly:
[Module number] – [Class topic] – [Your name and surname]
e.g., Module 2 – Sun Salutations – Wissam Barakeh

Using YouTube for Video Submissions

How to upload an Unlisted video:

  1. Create a YouTube channel if you don’t already have one (sign in with your Google account).
  2. Click on the upload button in the top right of the YouTube page.
  3. Set the video to Unlisted in the privacy settings.
  4. Add a title, description, and tags.
  5. Click Publish to upload.
  6. Copy the shareable link from the video once it’s live.

Why use Unlisted YouTube videos?
An Unlisted YouTube video can be viewed by anyone who has the video link, but won’t appear in search results, on your channel, or in subscriber feeds. This ensures your video is shared only with the intended recipients, such as your mentor.

First Zoom Call and Support

Your mentor teacher will carefully explain the process of submitting homework and using the template during your first Zoom call. If you have any questions or doubts after that, you can contact your mentor directly through the platform for further clarification.

We hope this guide helps you navigate your homework submissions with confidence. Enjoy the journey of learning, and remember, each assignment is an opportunity to grow and refine your skills. If you ever feel unsure or need help, your mentor is here to support you every step of the way. 

Happy learning and best of luck! 😊

  1. Hello Reshma!

    Yes, please upload them on YouTube. Make sure to make use of the “private” video status if you wish for the videos to stay completely hidden. In such case,

    Sign in to YouTube Studio.
    From the left menu, select Videos.
    Click the video you’d like to edit.
    Click the Visibility box and select Share privately.
    Enter the email addresses of people you’d like to share your video with, then select SAVE.

    – only you and them will be able to see it.

    Much love

  2. So if I understand correctly I don’t need to submit all homework assignments to access the final exam, and I will still be able to certify with Yoga Alliance in this case?

  3. Hello Yana! Yes, you are correct. The final exam is assessed rather strictly and beginner yoga teachers would benefit from the feedback of homework assignments. But it is completely optional. Much love!

  4. Not sure if this is the correct thread to comment on – however in the instance that you were to fail your final exam (I am sure this won’t happen but it is still good to know!) – are you able to have a second attempt? I intend to complete assignments and coursework however I sometimes can feel nervous at exams – wanted to check with you! Warm wishes xx

  5. Hi Abbey,
    Regarding practice exam video; I suggest you to reach out to your group teacher to consul all the preparation. When you are ready kindly send the final exam video to her.

    If you failed, the teacher will reach out to you with the feedback and will ask you to re-do it.

    Written exam; Final exam is in module 19 and 20. In module 19 has the practice exam, and Module 20 has written.
    Each part has 50 questions, for a total of 200 questions separated in 4 parts. Questions are 90% same as in the quizzes throughout the modules, so if you have completed them before, the multiple-choice final exam will be easier. The student needs to take one part entirely in one go, but the four parts can be completed at any time, separately. The student can take the multiple-choice exam as many times as they wish, it is based on the same rules as the quizzes. This means that one part of the exam will take about 10 times as long as a simple quiz would.

  6. Hello!
    Once I upload the video on my youtube, how can I share it with my trainer or let her know is up for assessment? thank you

  7. Dear Flavia,

    There’s no mandatory to use yoga mat dear, please be comfortable with your own belongings!
    We admire your passion and persistence towards the course. Good luck!

    Much love, Manda – student support

  8. Hiya, I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to record the videos.
    With the phone video it cuts off after a few minutes, wondering what will be the best way to record an 1 hour video. Many thanks

  9. Dear Kerri,

    You could divide the video into 4parts each for 15minutes, so its easier also for you to upload it in Youtube

    Best, student support

  10. Dear Layan,

    We will proceed once the teacher confirmed your final assignment, student support will check have you submit the essay then your payment, once it all done. We will proceed straight away to issue your certificate and register your name to the Yoga Alliance.

    Best, student support
