How Certification Works
Certification is awarded upon completion of the requirements of your chosen tier.
All certification paths meet Yoga Alliance 200HR standards.
What differs is the level of embodiment, supervision, and access you receive.
​
Certification reflects demonstrated learning — not performance perfection.
