Public credential registry

Verify a Yoga.org credential

Every certified teacher gets a permanent page like the one below: what they were assessed on, who reviewed them, and when. Free to check, no account, no login — because a credential a studio owner can't verify isn't a credential.

Sample record

No teacher has been certified yet. Cohort One begins October 1, 2026, so the registry below is empty and the record shown is an illustration of the real thing — same fields, same rubric, fictional holder. We'd rather show you the format now than ask you to imagine it.

A studio owner reading this can see exactly what was assessed and by whom. If any of it looks wrong to you, tell us — raj@yoga.org. Credentials are never removed from the registry; if one is revoked, this page says so and why.

What we will and won't put on this page

  • Will: the competencies assessed, the standard version, the issue date, the reviewer's name, the practicum length, and the number of resubmissions.
  • Won't: a score, a rank, or a grade. Competency assessment is met or not met — a league table of teachers would be a marketing product, not an educational one.
  • Won't: the practicum recording itself. Real students consented to being taught, not published.

If a credential is revoked for an ethics finding, the page stays up and states it. A registry that quietly deletes its failures is worth nothing to the person checking it.
