Yoga Alliance offers three types of yoga profession credentials, which serve as markers of high quality, safe, accessible, and equitable yoga teaching.

  Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT, E-RYT)

  Registered Yoga School (RYS)

  Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP)

  We support our members by offering clear, distinct standards that underlie each and every one of these credentials.

  To retain any of these credentials, you must join Yoga Alliance and maintain your membership. Doing so gains you access to a wide range of member benefits, as well as an abundance of tools, resources, events, and professional support to help foster and protect your livelihood. You will also be listed in our yoga professional directory, helping to build your network and allow those who are seeking your service to easily find you.
