  • Yoga Professional Registry and Standards Initiative

    Yoga Alliance maintained and operated its international registry of yoga professionals, serving over 100,000+ registered yoga teachers (RYTs) and 7,000+ registered yoga schools (RYSs) globally. The organization invested significantly in modernizing our credentialing infrastructure and developed comprehensive professional standards that center safety, equity, and accessibility. While traditional metrics show steady registry growth, the most significant non-measurable achievement was the extensive community engagement and industry research activities that will inform our enhanced membership and credentialing ecosystem, ensuring standards serve both professional excellence and broader equity and accessibility goals.
