Yoga alliance & CPD COURSES
Yoga Alliance & CPD requirements
We are a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance (USA), the largest internationally recognised yoga accreditation body. To maintain their credentials, all Registered Yoga Teachers (RYTs) and Experienced Registered Yoga Teachers (E-RYTs) are required to complete 75 hours of Continuing Education (CE), also known as CPD (Continued Professional Development), within the first three years of registration.
This includes:
45 hours of teaching yoga
30 hours of further training in one or more of the following categories:
Techniques, Training, and Practice
Teaching Methodology
Anatomy and Physiology
Yoga Philosophy, Lifestyle, and Ethics
All of our trainings are eligible for Yoga Alliance CPD/CE hours and are thoughtfully designed to support your growth, deepen your knowledge, and inspire your teaching. Whether you’re looking to refresh core skills or explore new areas of interest, our experienced faculty and inclusive approach ensure a rich, supportive learning environment.

Meeting the Yoga Alliance's CPD requirements
Your 30 hours of required CPD/CE training can be completed in person at our London studio, online from anywhere in the world, or through a flexible hybrid model. All CPD hours must be logged through your Yoga Alliance membership account to count toward your registration.
At The Shala School of Yoga, we offer a diverse range of CPD modules designed to meet Yoga Alliance’s educational categories. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of anatomy, refine your teaching methodology, or reconnect with the philosophical roots of yoga, our courses offer inspiring, high-quality education tailored to real-world teaching.
We understand that meeting ongoing registration requirements can sometimes feel like a burden, but our CPD modules can be a profoundly enriching experience. It’s a chance to refresh your inspiration, build new skills, stay up to date with evolving research and approaches – and to connect with a wider teaching community. In a profession that can sometimes feel isolating, CPD provides opportunities for connection, collaboration and growth.
