Testimonials From Our Members

"I wanted to say a big thank you to you and the team there at Yoga Alliance Professionals. When ever I have called I have always been able to speak to a real person which is so refreshing. Everyone has always been extremely friendly and helpful. It makes me feel part of an organisation even though I run my small business by myself. So a big thank you to you all!"

Yoga Teacher
"It has been a real pleasure to be a new member of the YAP family...The videos and documents on all aspects of being a yoga teacher really support me and keep me right e.g. information on GDPR, codes of conducts, marketing and so much more. The materials are accessible and practical with supportive back up if needed. YAP are professional yet they have the personal touch. I am absolutely delighted to recommend YAP to yoga teachers, trainers and to any-one wishing to access yoga classes."

I've qualified in another style, can I add this to my account? Will I be insured?

If you have completed a physical course in another type of yoga i.e. not an online course, you can add this to your YAP profile in a few ways.

- As a specialisation, this is used as a search criteria on our website, so we recommend you keep this as as up to date as possible.

- As an additional training.

- In your biography.

Please keep a note of all additional training you complete as we can consider these if you upgrade your membership level.

Insurance

The master insurance policy will cover members to teach as per the training they have received. If you have completed a physical training course (not on-line) in any type of yoga and go on to teach you will be insured. Please keep a copy of your certificate in a safe place, in the event of a claim you will be required to send copies of all training certificates to Balens.
