What Does It Mean to Be an RYS (Registered Yoga School)?

Balance Yoga is proud to be a Registered Yoga School (RYS 200) with Yoga Alliance, the largest internationally recognized organization for yoga education standards.

This means our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program meets (and exceeds!) the rigorous curriculum requirements set by Yoga Alliance—including in-depth study of:

• Anatomy & body mechanics
• Teaching methodology & sequencing
• Pranayama (breathwork) & meditation
• Yoga philosophy & ethics
• Safe use of props—including the Great Yoga Wall

When you train with an RYS, you're not just learning to teach yoga—you’re learning to teach it well, with integrity, confidence, and real-world tools that support your students’ bodies and minds.

Graduating from an RYS allows you to register as a RYT 200 (Registered Yoga Teacher) with Yoga Alliance, giving you credentials that are recognized globally and respected in studios, gyms, and wellness spaces around the world.
