We are not registered with Yoga Alliance, but you will become a Certified Yoga Teacher upon graduation of this training. Yoga Alliance (YA) is simply a registry of names, not a certifying body like ACE or NASM in the personal training industry.  In yoga, there is no governing or certifying body. A YA registration only gives you the ability to put “RYT” (meaning Registered Yoga Teacher) beside your name, after paying them a yearly fee.

Since 2020, all of our teacher trainings have not been associated with Yoga Alliance as we have seen no benefit to do so.  Our training significantly expands upon the 200-hour requirements set forth by YA, giving you a more comprehensive and practical learning experience. The teachers we have graduated from our program have moved on to teach all over the U.S., finding lots of opportunities to teach without the need for the YA registration.  It’s more important to choose a school and teacher that you are aligned with and who cares about giving you the best possible education and support beyond the training itself.  From there, you’ll continue to grow and evolve and gain experience, which will eventually lead to opportunities that have nothing to do with Yoga Alliance and everything to do with following your truth, being open to making mistakes and learning from them.

At the end of our training, you will receive a certificate and be a certified yoga teacher (CYT), but not a Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher (RYT).
