The accreditation body for the Advanced Teachers Training Yoga Programme is the International Yoga Alliance (RYT 500), internationally accredited body for governing yoga standards and teaching.
Yoga Alliance® supports yoga teachers and the diversity and integrity of Yoga. Their mission is to lead the yoga community, set standards, foster integrity, provide resources, and uphold the teachings of yoga.
Based in USA, the Yoga Alliance® was formed in September 1999 and established a national Yoga Teachers' Registry to recognize and promote teachers with training that meets 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, they began recognizing and registering teachers with significant teaching experience in addition to training (Experienced Registered Yoga Teachers, or "E-RYT®"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 their 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.
This is an internationally recognized accreditation body for qualifying Yoga Teachers and Yoga teaching Schools which meet the minimum criteria.
