A yoga teacher who registers with the Yoga Alliance Registry earns the title of Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT®) and may publish his or her online profile on our DirectoryThe teacher Registry is not a certification program; it is a listing of teachers who meet our minimum Requirements for teaching experience and have completed their trainings at a Registered Yoga School (RYS®).
