What's RYT 200?

Doris (DYOGI) and Beth Shaw (Founder and President of YogaFit)

​​RYT 200, also written as 200 RYT, stands for Registered
Yoga Teacher. An RYT is a teacher who has successfully completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training that is registered with Yoga Alliance. Yoga Alliance is the largest international nonprofit association representing the yoga community. Its mission is to promote and support the integrity and diversity of the teaching of yoga.
​
My completed YogaFit 200-hour Teacher Training (Yoga-Alliance approved), includes:
Principles of anatomy and physiology; dynamic vinyasa yoga sequencing grounded in proper alignment and the safety of exercise science; pose modifications to ensure that each pose is safe and effective for every body type and physical challenge; verbal cues and hands‐on assists; transformational language that creates an atmosphere of trust, inclusivity, and self‐exploration; unique personality and teaching style; breath awareness exercises and pranayama practices; common Sanskrit terms and their translations; the history and philosophy of yoga; and so much more. Namaste.
