Why choose Yoga Alliance?
Yoga Alliance standards set the ethical and educational framework for yoga teachers and schools in order to ensure high quality, safe, accessible, and equitable yoga teaching in communities around the world.
What are the benefits of being a Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher?
The yoga we know and experience today has been forged from generations of teachers passing down this ancient practice. As a yoga education standard-setting organization founded in 1999, Yoga Alliance has grown alongside yoga’s natural progression while rising to meet the needs of our evolving membership.
Alliance created and launched three major enhancements to our standards in February 2020—all of which relied on the decision-making principles of traditional yogic value, equity, accountability, integrity, and stability across the yoga community. They are:
- Elevated standards for the foundational Registered Yoga School (RYS) 200 credential;
- A strengthened application and review process; and
- A shared member-wide Ethical Commitment including an enhanced Code of Conduct, new Scope of Practice, and commitment to Equity in Yoga.
As the world continues to transition to more and more online connection and engagement, so does the teaching and practice of yoga.
What are Registered Yoga Schools (RYS) and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) Standards?
An RYT credential is earned by yoga teachers whose training and teaching experience meet Yoga Alliance Standards. RYTs must complete training with an RYS (Fit is an RYS), be confirmed by said RYS, and keep current with Continuing Education and annual fees.
