Registered Yoga Teachers
Yoga Alliance registers yoga teachers who have met specific training standards
and lists those teachers on its website. Recognition as a Registered Yoga
Teacher (RYT) is granted at 200-hour and 500-hour levels, and may be earned by
instructors through independent study or by completion of a program at a school
registered by Yoga Alliance. There are currently more than 100 registered
teacher training programs nationwide that meet our standards. |
Serving the Yoga Practicing Public
The demand for yoga instruction has grown tremendously in recent years due to
growing awareness of the many physical, mental and spiritual benefits of yoga
and meditation. Yoga students are seeking the full range of mind-body
benefits that yoga offers.
As an organization offering yoga to the public, you want instructors who possess
a sufficiently broad knowledge of yoga technique and theory so the needs and
expectations of your students, clients or patients will be met. We realize
that it can be very difficult for an employer to accurately assess the level of
training of potential instructors with the vast number of yoga schools and
certificate programs now available.
Yoga Alliance’s Registered Yoga Teacher registry can help you choose a yoga
teacher with adequate training and help assure the safety and satisfaction of
your students. This national service is not affiliated with a specific
school of yoga.
