What is RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher)?

An international certification for yoga teachers registered with Yoga Alliance.
RYT stands for Registered Yoga Teacher—an instructor who has been certified through Yoga Alliance. The number (e.g., RYT 200) indicates how many hours of training have been completed.
An RYT certification is a mark of quality and professionalism. For students, it’s reassurance that their teacher has undergone comprehensive training and meets international standards.
