What is the difference between yoga alliance and yoga alliance professionals?

The YAPs require trainers to be 8 years old. Yoga Alliance is a commercial entity independent of these organizations, and the membership of these organizations is not transferable to Yoga Alliance. Yoga Alliance is a non-profit membership organization that supports a global community of more than 100,000 yoga teachers and schools. The Yoga Alliance credential is recognized around the world.

A yoga teacher who holds the E-RYT 200 or E-RYT 500 credential is eligible to add the YACEP credential. The following research and review have been provided by teacher trainer and member of the Yoga Alternatives Board, Sarcha Thurston of Yoga Hub Perth. The first is a directory for yoga teachers and trainers, the second, an inclusive space for yoga professionals to learn, develop and grow. The RYT 300 are yoga teachers who have completed their 200- and 300-hour certification courses.

To become an RYT, you'll have to complete training in an RYS 200, since the 200-hour curriculum includes fundamental concepts that will help you get started as a yoga teacher. A CYT or “certified yoga teacher” is a yoga teacher who has completed any comprehensive yoga teacher training. We also offer you discounts on yoga business products and services, a yoga research library, and free professional development courses that qualify for Yoga Alliance continuing education. I completed continuing education with a teacher who has a lot of experience but who is not a Yoga Alliance (YACEP) continuing education provider.

Part of their standards involves better defining what the training of a yoga teacher should consist of and, therefore, what a yoga teacher should theoretically know at the end of the YTT. For Yoga Alliance, 2 years of teaching experience are enough time to teach a basic yoga teacher training course. The content included in an RYS program prepares yoga teachers to learn how to teach yoga to special populations. In response to the resounding agreement of the entire yoga community, Yoga Alliance asks all credential holders to accept an ethical commitment for all members when registering or renewing them.

The idea behind YA is to ensure that curriculum standards are standardized around the world for yoga teachers and yoga schools, so to speak.
