Criteria For Accreditation

Clear Standards. Flexible Pathways

Earning your Yoga Pros accreditation means meeting our robust professional standards, because your growth and the integrity of our community matter.

Our criteria are set to champion quality, consistency, and professionalism for every member. We welcome teachers from diverse backgrounds, so you don’t need to complete a Yoga Pros-accredited course; just ensure your training aligns with our standards.

Professional Membership

To be eligible for professional membership, you must have (at a minimum) a 200-hour training course certificate.

The course must have at least 180 contact hours (i.e. a pre-recorded course is not eligible).

No need to train with a Yoga Pros accredited course to apply.

Training Course Accreditation

At Yoga Pros, we differentiate between accredited and verified qualifications. Both types of qualifications are displayed on a professional member’s Live CV, giving students, employers and peers clear, transparent insight into a teacher’s training and experience.

Accredited

An accredited qualification means the teacher has completed a course that meets our rigorous professional criteria, demonstrating that their training aligns with Yoga Pros’ standards of quality and excellence.

Verified

A verified qualification, on the other hand, indicates that we have seen the teacher’s certificate as proof of course completion, but the course itself has not been assessed against our accreditation criteria.
