Help with Applying for Registration

Teacher Registration

If approached methodically, application for registration is relatively straightforward.

Firstly, make sure you have got the right registration for you out of the four alternatives. To do this, follow steps 1 - 6 below.

[1] If you have a certificate from a teacher training school, check if your school is registered with The Yoga Register. All currently YR registered schools are listed on http://www.theyogaregister.org/schools/index.htm. (Because a school is registered with some other body does not mean that it is automatically registered with the Yoga Register.)

[2] If your school appears on the list, print out YR-101 on http://www.theyogaregister.org/registration/registration.htm by clicking the "Printer Friendly Version" icon which is located just above the top left of the right hand window. Fill in the form and send it by snail mail to IYN at the address given on the form. (We require a real signature, so snail-mail has to be used.) Please use the tick boxes which enable you to specify which information you want to appear on the YR web site. The one-page form is self-explanatory and easy to fill in.

[3] If your school is not listed as YR registered, then you have a choice of using either YR-102, Teacher Certified by a Non-YR Registered School, or YR-103, Teacher with Independent Training and Experience. Both of these routes are necessarily more complicated than the registered school route and this might incite you to ask your school to become a YR registered school and a member of IYN! In practice, we are finding that more people with a non-YR registered certificate use YR-103 than YR-102, so look at this one first. The printed forms have tick boxes to help you make sure you have supplied all the information we need, and working methodically through these should help you submit a full application. The core of both of these types of application is the submission based on Sections 1 - 4. This is not as daunting as it at first looks, but if you get stuck, please give us a call - Pete Yates, 01902 424048, yates@heartyoga.co.uk. If you have 5000 hours teaching experience and a non-YR registered certificate, registering as a Yoga Elder (YR-104) is your easiest option.

[4] If you do not have a certificate from a teacher training school, you need to determine whether you should use YR-103, Teacher with Independent Training and Experience, or YR- 104, Yoga Elder.

[5] If you can log-up 5000 hours of teaching, then you can register as a Yoga Elder and this is fairly straight-forward. We realise that you might not recall exact details of teaching you did 20 years ago and are happy with a record like " 1980, 20 classes @ 2 hours @YMCA Smallville = 40 hours".

[6] If you find that you haven't done 5000 hours of teaching, then you need to work through YR-103. If you get stuck, don't hesitate to contact us. Pete Yates, 01902 424048, yates@heartyoga.co.uk

SUMMARY OF TEACHER REGISTRATION PROCESS

Teacher Training School Registration

It is probably best to contact us in the first instance to talk through what is involved in making an application to register your school and ask us any questions you may have. In some instances, representatives of prospective schools have visited us in person or engaged in extensive correspondence or telephone discussion. We are happy to give this input. Contact: Pete Yates, 01902 424048, yates@heartyoga.co.uk

Please note that registration of a Teacher Training School makes that school a full voting member of IYN.
