What is the Yoga Alliance^®?

Yoga Alliance^® maintains a national yoga teachers' registry to recognize and promote teachers with training that meets their minimum training standards. Teachers who meet these standards are eligible to register as RYT^®s (Registered Yoga Teachers).

Yoga Alliance^® also maintains a registry of yoga schools to recognize yoga teacher training programs of at least 200 or 500 hours. A school whose curriculum satisfies or exceeds YA's minimum training standards may apply to register as a RYS^® (Registered Yoga School). Once a school is registered, all graduates of a RYS^® are automatically eligible to register with YA as RYT^®s.

The Mission of  Yoga Alliance^®   is to lead the yoga community, set standards, foster integrity, provide resources, and uphold the teachings of yoga.
