The institutional postures we expect of every member, every trainer, every accredited course.
Two postures the body holds without apology — and that the four-pillar career rests on.
Every credential is verified, never self-reported. The Register is public. The standards are public. The accreditation framework is public. A member’s history is visible to anyone considering their class.
Opacity is what the unverified industry hides behind. We don’t.
A yoga teacher is a professional. A trainer is a professional. A studio partner is a professional. We design every system, every credential, every contract on that premise — and we audit when conduct falls short.
Amateurism made the industry. Professionalism rebuilds it.
The career outcome members come for — healthy, successful, ethical, compliant — rests on these two postures. Always has. Always will.
Every member’s qualifications, grade and accreditation history are checked by a person before they appear on the public Register. No claim, no badge. The Register is searchable by anyone, anywhere — students, studios, employers, regulators.
See the Register →The accreditation framework, Standards of Conduct, grading requirements and audit protocol are all published. Anyone can read what we expect. Anyone can hold us to it. A standard that isn’t public isn’t a standard — it’s a preference.
Read the standards →When a member’s conduct falls short of the published standard, we audit. In real cases. With real audit trails. With removal as a real outcome. A professional body’s credibility is what it does when conduct fails — not what it claims when conduct holds.
Standards of conduct →The career outcome members come to us for — held by all four pillars, not three of four. Transparency and Professionalism are how we keep the third and fourth in place when the temptation to drop them is highest. The body holds the line.
The three pillars →If a professional body publishes neither its members nor its standards nor its conduct decisions, what exactly is it accrediting? — A question we answer the only way we know how. In public.
