Why I Am Revoking My Yoga Alliance Registration After fifteen years of affiliation with Yoga Alliance, I have decided to revoke my registration. I will no longer be individually associated with Yoga Alliance as an RYT yoga instructor nor will I register any further yoga schools with Yoga Alliance.
Last yoga class before summer holidays this Thursday. Please let me know if you plan to come along so I have idea of class size. Thanks
