Directory Listing Policy

Last Updated: July 8, 2016

The Yoga Alliance Directory provides a listing of Registered Yoga Schools, Registered Yoga Teachers, and approved Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Providers. To preserve the search functionality of the Directory, all Directory names must use only English characters. Special characters such as Sanskrit symbols or, for example NΩma or N҉rth, will prevent the name from being returned in the Directory search function. To avoid this, these characters cannot be saved into the Directory Name fields. Any RYT, RYS, or YACEP with a legal name that includes non-English characters should provide documentation of their legal name and identify a name for use in the Directory using English characters that is most similar to their legal name. For example, NΩma could register as Noma or NOma.
