Graduates who complete all certification requirements will be eligible to register through Yoga Alliance (RYT-200 or RYT-500). You can find the certification requirements here.
Yoga Alliance is an internationally recognized nonprofit organization that certifies yoga teachers and schools around the world. This association aims to foster high quality, safe, accessible, and equitable yoga instruction.
Registering with the Yoga Alliance may or may not be needed for your future endeavors as a yoga instructor. Some spaces - like studios and fitness centers - may simply ask for proof that your training was completed with a Registered Yoga School (RYS). Our 200-hour Certification will meet that need.
How To Create Your Yoga Alliance Account
If you choose to create a Yoga Alliance account, be sure to use your full first and last name to match your 200-hour certificate. If you need to update the name on your certificate, you can reach us at support@breatheforchange.com.
From your new YA account dashboard, you will need to submit:
- Your desired RYT designation (RYT 200)
- The name of the RYS you attended (Breathe For Change)
- Your training completion date as noted on your certificate
- An electronic copy of your certificate
When you submit your application, our operations team will be notified via email that you’re waiting for confirmation. Application reviews take place weekly on Fridays.
We will check that your name and completion date match the name and date on your certificate. After we validate your certification, Yoga Alliance will approve your request! Yoga Alliance will also prompt you to enter and continue to keep track of your teaching hours, pay your fees, and evaluate your RYS (Breathe For Change).
If you need any support with Yoga Alliance registration, you can find their help center here.
