Yoga Governing Body & Studio Registration
In September 1999, the newly organized Yoga Alliance® established a national Yoga Teachers' Registry to recognize and promote teachers with training that meets our minimum training standards. Teachers who meet these standards are eligible to register as "RYT®"s (Registered Yoga Teachers). In 2005, in conjunction with enhanced revised standards for registration, we began recognizing and registering teachers with significant teaching experience in addition to training (Experienced Registered YogaTeachers,or "ERYT®"s).
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 our 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 us as RYT®s.
