How can a Teacher BE CERTIFIED?
 

Certification of Teachers by the European Yoga Federation (EYF)

One of the most important goals of the EYF is to create a true Yoga community in Europe. It is under this prospect that the Pedagogical Committee is created, made up of masters with genuine experience who represent several countries members of the Federation.

 

The Pedagogical Committee is constantly reviewing and updating the programmes that should be fulfilled in the centers & schools where the Yoga teacher's training is given. The said programmes respect all lines and styles and are set up taking into account the idiosyncracy of each and every lineage, tradition and the inherited teachings, as well as the personal experiences.

The European Yoga Federation is recognized by the World Movement for Yoga as the official organization that gives the necessary certifications which will guarantee you as a  european Certified Yoga Teacher.

- If you are a Yoga teacher with a degree from a EYF Certified School you can join as a member and be part of the Census of Certified Teachers listed in the web with their data. 

- If you are a Yoga Teacher non recognized by the EYF and would like to obtain a certified degree, you can start the procedures.
