Yoga Alliance is a nonprofit membership organization supporting yoga teachers, schools, and the wider yoga community around the world. Founded in 1999, we grew from a collective of teachers and practitioners who recognized the need for shared standards in yoga teacher training while preserving the practice’s traditions. We maintain a voluntary registry of yoga professionals and schools, with credentials including Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), Registered Yoga School (RYS), and Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP). Our work brings professional recognition together with a shared commitment to ethical teaching, clear boundaries of practice, and inclusion. Beyond credentialing, we provide educational resources, continuing education opportunities, community events, and professional support. Our directories help people find yoga teachers, schools, and continuing education providers, while our advocacy addresses issues affecting yoga professionals and access to practice. Through research, partnerships, and the work of the Yoga Alliance Foundation, we support efforts to bring yoga to communities facing barriers to participation. From our beginnings as a teacher-led initiative, our purpose has grown alongside the community we serve: to support yoga in its fullness and help more people find a place within it.
