Multiple Paths, Diverse Choices
Explore Options Tailored for Yoga Schools
GOYA offers a diverse range of certification tiers tailored for schools, capturing the essence and expansiveness of their yoga teachings. Whether you specialize in foundational training, children's yoga, or meditation disciplines, our differentiated certifications empower schools to showcase their unique prowess and captivate a global audience.
Already a member school of another organization?
Are you a current School member of another organization? If your school is an active member of Yoga Alliance, Yoga Alliance Professionals UK, International Association of Yoga Therapists, or Yoga Alliance International, your current school designation(s) will be recognized and grandfathered by GOYA. This means you won't need to submit a detailed application upon registration, as we'll consider that requirement as already met.
To facilitate your shift from another organization to GOYA, current members of the aforementioned organizations can join us in the first year at a reduced fee of $59. We recognize the substantial fees you've already incurred for your active school status and aim to make this transition as seamless and affordable as possible.
While you're welcome to maintain your membership with those organizations, it's optional. You hold the power to direct your financial contributions where they genuinely influence change and support your growth as a school in a global landscape.
