Yoga Alliance is an organization that was started in 1999 as a way to create nationally recognized standards for yoga teachers and yoga teacher trainings in the US. More and more yoga studios across the world are requiring their teachers to register with the Yoga Alliance, at the 200-Hour level. Yoga Alliance registration, however, is not a legal requirement for teaching yoga. Currently, there are no legal certification requirements to be a yoga teacher. The MOVE yoga Trainings are approved at the Yoga Alliance 200-Hour level.

Graduates of the 200-Hour program usually begin teaching in small studios, gyms, with private clientele (friends and family), etc. After gaining experience teaching many new teachers decide to continue their Teacher Training education and participate in the 300-Hour pathway as a way to further solidify their skills, knowledge, and style as a yoga instructor.

What Is the Difference Between 200hr, 300hr, 500hr Trainings?

200hr Yoga Alliance is the minimum requirement for yoga teaching and to gain insurance and indemnity to teach. It is our reccomendation that you study a foundational 200hr course, then gain 1 year experience teaching and then go on to specialise in an additional 300hr's with one training provider to work toards your 500hr Yoga Alliance Pathway. It is important to remember that the 500hr Yoga Alliance pathway requires that your additional 300hr training is with one provider (not a lot of different small workshops and trainings). given the time and dollar investment into an additional 300hr training it is our reccomendation that student get a firm foundation with a 200hr Yoga Alliance registered school and then make a decision about where they would like to invest their further 300hr training.
