Yoga Alliance acronyms unpacked for you. What Do All Those Yoga Alliance Letters Mean? 🧘‍♀️ If you have ever looked at a yoga teacher’s credentials and wondered what RYT, E-RYT, RCYT, RPYT, or YACEP actually mean, here is the breakdown.

It is simply access. The Best Way to Make Yoga Teacher Training Accessible Is to Make It Accessible Yesterday, one of our graduates thanked me for making yoga teacher training accessible to her. My response was simple: “The best way to make training accessible is to make it accessible.” It sounds almost too obvious, but accessibility has to be more than something written into a mission statement.

Come Sit Beside Me for Tea Over the years, I have discovered that people rarely arrive at yoga teacher training because they want to memorize anatomy terms or learn Sanskrit pronunciation. Those things matter and certainly have their place, but they are seldom the reason someone first walks through the door. More often, people arrive because something in life is shifting. Children are growing older, careers are changing, relationships are evolving, retirement is approaching,

Trauma-Informed Series Trauma-informed yoga is not limited to one population or teaching environment. It is reflected in the language we use, the choices we offer, the structure we create, and the way we respond when a student participates differently than expected.

Letting the real back in. Edge Alum, Faby Are We Ready to Let the Shadows Back In? Are you beginning to yearn for photographs with shadows? For years, photographers have worked to control them. We have softened them, filled them, moved lights to avoid them and edited them away. Shadows across a wall, beneath a hand or around the body were often treated as problems to solve. Now I wonder if it is time to let them back in. We are surrounded by an increasing amount of digital ar

What to let in, and what to release. Finding Balance: The Art of Stability and Mobility Balance is often described as standing on one foot, holding a posture, or remaining steady when life feels uncertain. Yet balance is much more than a physical skill. It is a principle found throughout nature, movement, and the living systems that support us every day. In yoga, balance is not achieved by maximizing one quality. It is achieved by understanding the relationship between opposi
