Yes! Yoga schools can create AYC accredited training programs (example: Certified Yoga Teacher training, Certified Yoga Practitioner training, Specialty training). This feature is only available to Professional members.

To get started, get watch this video from CEO Andrew Tanner:

There is a one time accreditation fee when you submit your program for review:

Certified Yoga Practitioner

Certified Yoga Teacher

Specialty Program

$108

$108

$54

Your annual membership stays the same no matter how many certification programs you create. This means no fees to keep your program active, and no additional fees per cohort.

Your lead teacher must be credentialed one level above the program they are offering. Ex: CYT-1 can offer CYP, CYT-2 can offer CYT-1 or CYP and so on.

When students graduate from an AYC accredited program, they are eligible to receive a badge that reflects the CYT level or Specialty category associated with the training.

Once the program is accredited, you’ll start earning a share of your graduates annual membership dues as well as 40% of the verification fee they pay to display their badge. Remember, the verification fee is set by you: the school.

Please note, if you choose to make major changes to the program (Core Competencies or AYC Level), there will be an additional fee to re-submit and accredit the updated program.
