Become a Registered Yoga Teacher
The continued growth and popularity of yoga in the United
States has increased the need for well-trained and qualified yoga teachers
assuring
a safe learning environment for the practicing public. The Yoga Alliance
is a group of senior yoga teachers who have answered this need by creating
standards that set forth minimum, voluntary training parameters for teachers
and teacher training schools. These standards allow for the diversity
of the modern yoga community. Teachers who meet these standards have
a well-rounded background in the breadth and depth of yoga. Upon demonstration
of qualifications via an application process, approved teachers and schools
are registered with Yoga Alliance and listed on the organization’s website.
Yoga
Yoga Teacher Training is recognized by the Yoga Alliance as a training
program that meets or exceeds these standards. Students who complete
our Teacher Training program are well-qualified to teach yoga in the
eyes of the Yoga Alliance. Upon completion of 200 hours of training
at Yoga Yoga each student receives a completion certificate showing
that she has met the Yoga Alliance standards to become a Registered
Yoga Teacher (RYT) in the 200-hour category.
Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT) receive recognition for their background,
experience and training through the registry on the Yoga Alliance website.
The registry
issues Registry Marks for enrolled teachers to use in their resumes, advertising
and business endeavors, and authorizes them to use the initials "RYT" after
their name. The list of registered teachers’ names will be advertised and promoted
to the general public, to organizations that employ yoga teachers (i.e. yoga
studios, athletic clubs, recreation departments, etc.), and to organizations
that are beginning to review yoga teachers' credentials (hospitals, health
insurance companies, governmental organizations, etc.). Yoga Alliance is working
to establish long-term mutually beneficial relationships with these organizations
to facilitate the acceptance and support of yoga teachers as professionals
in the modern world.
