Grading Scheme
Yoga Alliance International has evolved a grading scheme for both Yoga Instructors and Yoga Centers, depending on the focus in their practices. Individuals seeking to learn Yoga have differing requirements and similarly, instructors and institutions have different capabilities.
The grading scheme serves to highlight the focus in Yogic practices being followed by the teacher or centre, and is intended to help individuals choose the teacher or centre that is right for them, based on their present requirements.
A basic 5-point grading system has been developed and is outlined in the table below.
