Federal Yoga Teacher Credentials
Registered Yoga Teacher Credentials
FYT 200™ – Certified Yoga Teacher
The FYT 200™ credential is awarded to teachers who have successfully completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training registered with Federal Yoga Alliance (FYA). This certification ensures foundational knowledge in yoga philosophy, teaching methodology, anatomy, and ethics.
FYT 500™ – Advanced Certified Yoga Teacher
The FYT 500™ credential is granted to teachers who have completed a 500-hour yoga teacher training registered with FYA. This can be achieved in two ways:

By combining a 200-hour foundational training (FYT 200™) with an additional 300-hour advanced training.
In cases where the 200-hour and 300-hour trainings are completed separately, the programs may be taken at different FYS™ (Federal Yoga School) certified schools, provided each holds an active accreditation with FYA.
✅ Teaching Experience Requirement: Before obtaining the FYT 500™ credential, applicants must complete at least 100 hours of teaching experience, ensuring they have the practical skills to lead with confidence and expertise.
