Other programs sell you a number of hours. We publish a list of things a teacher must be able to do, assess which ones you can already do, and build your path from what's left — then hand you the part nobody teaches: how to actually find students.
A dated cohort, not a video library you binge alone. Take Module 0 free, see the whole curriculum as it's built, then reserve your seat with a refundable deposit.
Certification is about what happens in a room with other people. The 3D and the diagrams exist to get you ready for that — not to replace it.
Most programs show you a sales page and a promise. We're publishing the curriculum as it's written, with the review status and the reviewer's name on every module — so you can judge the work before you pay for it.
The orientation module — what teaching actually involves, the four paths, and the standard you'll be held to. No account, no card, no obligation.
Every module, its objectives, and its current status — drafting, in faculty review, or approved. Updated as we go.
When a module is approved, the teacher who approved it is named on it. If a module hasn't been reviewed yet, it says so.
From October 1, released weekly with the cohort — so you move with a group instead of drifting through a video library alone.
Yoga training tells you how to hold a pose. It doesn't tell you how to get hired, what to charge, or where your first students come from — so most certified teachers never really teach.
Programs measure the time you sat there, not what you can do. You finish with a number on a certificate and no clear answer to what you're actually qualified to teach.
Ten years of practice or a coaching career earns you nothing. Everyone sits through the same beginner material at the same price.
Build a website, learn marketing, find students, handle bookings and insurance. You wanted to teach yoga, not run a startup.
Every step lives on Yoga.org, under one account. Start wherever you actually are.

Not a syllabus you read — diagrams, 3D pose data you can rotate, and a rubric you're measured against. Everything below is real material from the course as it stands today.
That's one photograph of a real teacher, turned into a pose you can walk all the way around — and then look inside, with the spine line and the joints you're being asked to check lit up. A video can only ever show you where the camera happened to stand. See how it's built →
Most new teachers narrate. The room has already moved on. You're assessed on cues that are short, specific, and audible from the back row.
Warm-up, build, peak, counterpose, close — serving one stated intention. You'll submit a class plan and be marked against a rubric, not a vibe.
Three checkpoints, in order, on every standing pose. Learn to scan a room in the order that catches injuries first.
Knowledge can be tested out of. Applied work is marked against a rubric. Observed teaching means a named human watches you — and that one can never be skipped. Read the standard →
We start from the whole standard, subtract what you can already demonstrate, and what's left is your path — shorter and cheaper the more you can prove. The practicum stays, always. Build your path →
One capture, three bodies. Same joint angles, different segment lengths — because a long-femur body genuinely cannot make the same shape as a short-femur one, and every other training pretends otherwise. Try it with your body →
Drafted and in faculty review. Every diagram above is Yoga.org's own work — no stock imagery, no embedded video that can disappear.
They're genuinely different jobs, so they get genuinely different training. Your path is built from how you actually plan to teach.
One-to-one work in homes, studios, or outdoors. Client intake, hands-on adjustments, safety screening, and what to charge per session.
Leading a room. Sequencing for mixed levels, cueing without demonstrating, studio auditions, and getting on a schedule by subbing.
Camera and sound setup, cueing what you can't physically correct, time zones, scheduling, and taking payments.
Live versus recorded, choosing a platform, building an audience, and pricing a class pass or subscription.
Yoga philosophy, meditation, pranayama, Sanskrit, and ethics — credentialed without the asana teaching track. Built for therapists, coaches, healthcare workers, and corporate wellness leads who want the depth and the credential, not a studio job.
Add a focus to any teaching path: prenatal, chair and accessible yoga, yin, restorative, trauma-informed, or teaching older adults.
An hour count tells a studio how long you sat in a room. It says nothing about whether you can teach. We publish the competencies instead — and certify against them.
A skills check sets your starting point. Ten years of practice means you skip what you can already demonstrate — and pay for less of it. Only possible because we count competencies, not hours.
Read the full competency list before you enroll — every skill you'll be held to. So can the studio hiring you, and the student choosing you.
Named faculty review the curriculum and your final practicum. A human decides whether you're certified — never an algorithm.
Pricing, first clients, insurance, bookings, and how to get on a studio schedule. The part every other program leaves out.
We handle the part that isn't teaching.
Built from your assessment — text, illustrated pose breakdowns, video, and practice work. Only what you actually need.
You submit recorded teaching. A named faculty member reviews it and gives written feedback before certification.
A public Yoga.org page any studio or client can check in one click. Not a PDF anyone could fake.
Certified teachers appear above everyone else, with your specializations, location, and booking link.
Yoga.org buys and earns the traffic; certified teachers get the inquiries. You'll see every lead we send you in your dashboard.
Pricing guidance, liability and insurance walkthrough, client intake forms, and waiver templates.
$99 to reserve your seat, refundable until October 1. The $200 balance is charged when the cohort starts — or spread over three months.
Or take Module 0 free first — no card, no obligation.
So we publish ours — the rubric, the faculty who review it, and how the material gets made.
Every competency a certified teacher must demonstrate, written in plain language and public. Read it before you enroll — or before you hire.
Practicing teachers with real studios and real students, plus a medical advisor on anatomy and safety. Every module lists who reviewed it.
A credential everyone passes is worth nothing. We show how many candidates meet the standard, and how many don't.
Head of Yoga Content & Outreach
Yoga instructor and author; practitioner of NLP, hypnotherapy, and reiki. Reviews teaching methodology, philosophy, and curriculum structure.
Ayurvedic & Medical Advisor
Board-certified physician and anesthesiologist, Ayurvedic practitioner. Reviews anatomy, contraindications, and every safety module.
We're adding experienced teachers who have built real practices — studio owners, private-client teachers, and online instructors — to review each specialization.
Faculty for Cohort One are confirmed and named above. No module is shown as approved until one of them has actually signed it off — current status for every module is on the curriculum board.
We use AI to assemble the best material fast, then real teachers correct it — and their corrections become permanent standards the AI must follow.
Curriculum assembled and structured at speed
Several AI models cross-check each other's work
Named teachers correct anatomy, safety, philosophy
Corrections become rules every future module follows
Pose demonstrations are filmed with real teachers — never AI-generated. In yoga, bad alignment causes injury.
You could build a website, learn Google Ads, and figure out local SEO. Or you could be listed on Yoga.org, where we do that once — properly — for every certified teacher at the same time.
Certified teachers rank above claimed and unclaimed listings — with your specializations, styles, and booking link.
Students searching for teachers land on Yoga.org, not on a site you had to build. Every listing benefits from the same spend.
Your dashboard shows the inquiries and bookings we sent you. No guessing whether the listing is worth it.
It's free, there's no account and no card, and it's the same material the paying cohort gets on day one. Take it, judge the quality, then decide whether to reserve a seat for October 1.
