Three main themes emerged with strong and clear support from our members and the broader yoga community - from people who are just beginning their teaching journeys to those who bring decades of wisdom:

  1. First, our credentials should identify and support those who hold them as experts and professionals who stand for quality, safety, and accessibility in yoga teaching.
  2. Second, for this to be credible, we must update and uphold our standards so that the credentials are in integrity.
  3. And, we need to fulfill all of the responsibilities of a professional membership association, including providing more comprehensive educational resources and member benefits as well as elevating difficult conversations about community-wide systemic challenges - all in support of our growth as individuals, as professionals, and as a global community.

 

From Christa Kuberry,
Our VP of Standards
