Why Join the American Yoga Council?
“The Yoga Council puts yogis back at the center of the accreditation process. Himalayan Institute is proud to be a founding member.””
“Yoga Alliance's standards are too restrictive for my heart-forward teaching style. AYC allows me to offer the program that I want to teach with integrity.””
“I believe meaningful education emerges through community, relationship, lived experience, and ongoing inquiry, not top-down validation. AYC’s commitment to transparency, adaptability, and teacher-defined competencies reflects the kind of professional culture I love to model and support.”
“As a yoga school founder offering teacher trainings and trauma-informed yoga, I value AYC’s rigorous credentialing and accountability process. I've found their team helpful and their business-of-yoga workshops incredibly useful and valuable.”
