Anyone can call themselves a yoga teacher. Here is how to find one who is properly trained, insured, and verified — whoever you are, whatever you practise.
The professional body for yoga teachers · 10,000+ members · 100+ countries · since 2006
Almost everyone who comes to yoga can name the moment it gave something back. After an injury. After a hard year. After a body that had stopped feeling like home.
The teacher in that room matters. Their training matters. What they understand about your back, your pregnancy, your first week of trying — it matters more than most people realise.
You should be able to see all of it before you ever step on the mat. This page shows you how.
There is no law that stops it. Someone can finish a short course online, print a certificate, and start teaching next week. Pregnancy classes. Children's classes. Strong, physical practice. Often with no one checking what they actually know.
This is not said to frighten you. It is said so you can ask better questions.
Hours spent learning in a room, with an experienced teacher present — not a video course finished alone at midnight. Live practice is where safe teaching is built.
An insured teacher protects you as well as themselves. It is a fair question to ask, and a good teacher will be glad you did.
Pregnancy, children, and strong styles like hot, power, and Ashtanga carry real risk. The teacher should have trained for that class specifically, not just yoga in general.
Not a logo on a website. A record you can open and read: what they trained in, for how long, and with whom. If you cannot see it, ask why.
A skilled teacher will tell you when a class is not right for you today. Being open about what they don't do is a mark of training, not weakness.
