Verify a Yoga.org credential

Every certified teacher gets a permanent page like the one below: what they were assessed on, who reviewed them, and when. Free to check, no account, no login — because a credential a studio owner can't verify isn't a credential.

Sample only — watermarked preview

No teacher has been certified yet. Below is what a Yoga.org credential looks like — same fields, fictional holder. Heavy SAMPLE watermark so a screenshot cannot pass as a real certificate. Real credentials are live web pages with IDs that resolve in the registry; a PNG of a sample is never enough to hire on.

A studio owner reading this can see exactly what was assessed and by whom. If any of it looks wrong to you, tell us — raj@yoga.org. Credentials are never removed from the registry; if one is revoked, this page says so and why.

What we will and won't put on this page

  • Will: the competencies assessed, the standard version, the issue date, the reviewer's name, the practicum length, and the number of resubmissions.
  • Won't: a score, a rank, or a grade. Competency assessment is met or not met — a league table of teachers would be a marketing product, not an educational one.
  • Won't: the practicum recording itself. Real students consented to being taught, not published.

If a credential is revoked for an ethics finding, the page stays up and states it. A registry that quietly deletes its failures is worth nothing to the person checking it.
