Teacher Directory
Search For A Teacher
Please note there is no legislation for yoga teachers, so teacher training programs vary in length, content, delivery methods, leadership and quality. Any yoga teacher may be included in this directory by purchasing Full YAA Membership.
Only YAA Certified Teachers have voluntarily met the stringent requirements set by the YAA, with high standards for initial training and ongoing continuing education requirements, either through the YAA's Teacher Training Program, or the Equivalency Certification Program that recognizes high standards of training through other sources. All teachers in Alberta are welcome and encouraged to meet these standards and continue upgrading through Advanced Training Levels, which recognize years of experience and additional training.

The YAA is known throughout North America for its high standards of teacher training and professional-level Recertification requirements. When you hire a YAA Certified teacher, you can be assured they have met stringent standards and are adequately trained to offer safe, trauma-informed classes with modifications for the myriad injuries, conditions, and limitations amongst students in a typical yoga class.
As an umbrella organization, the YAA welcomes teachers from all backgrounds, lineages and styles. We offer professional support teachers including individual assessment for Equivalency Certification, ongoing professional development opportunities, trauma informed training, and Advanced Training Levels.
