News & Notice

Yoga Alliance EU is pleased to announce that online applications are now open for all three of our credential pathways: International Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), International Registered Yoga School (RYS) and Continuing Education Provider (YACEP).

Whether you have just completed your first teacher training, run an established school, or offer workshops for other teachers, there is a pathway designed for you. Each credential recognizes training, experience and a commitment to our standards and ethical commitment.

Who Can Apply

• Yoga teachers who have completed a qualifying training program can apply for RYT 200, RYT 300 or RYT 500. Experienced teachers can also apply for the E-RYT levels.
• Yoga schools and institutes whose teacher training programs meet our standards can apply for RYS 200, RYS 300 or RYS 500.
• Continuing education providers who offer courses and workshops to the yoga community can apply for YACEP.

How the Process Works

The process has three simple steps. First, choose your credential and complete the online application, uploading your training certificates or program details. Second, our team reviews your documents against our standards. If we need anything more, we will contact you directly. Third, once your application is approved, you receive your credential and badge and can be listed in our public directory.
