Welcome to your Yoga Alliance Resource Site
We want to meet you where you are with what you need. We created this site in response to and as a resource for timely news, events, tools and resources, and other relevant information pertaining to both your yoga professions and personal lives. Please visit frequently as information will be updated regularly.
Re-opening and Recovery
As yoga schools, businesses, and classrooms re-open around the world, we’re here to help. Here, you can find re-opening resources and recommendations based on guidance from leading public health organizations, U.S.-based federal and state agencies, legal advisers, and our collective expertise designed to support the yoga community through this recovery journey.
Online Teaching & Teacher Training
As the world continues to transition to more online connection and engagement, and to meet the needs of the broader yoga community and evolution of the times, we are using sound research, data, and proven methodologies to adapt our standards to a distance learning environment. RYS teacher trainings may conduct themselves online, so long as 15% is in a synchronous (AKA real-time) format.
