The Yoga Medicine® Registered Therapeutic Specialists are teachers who have successfully completed the Yoga Medicine 500-hour advanced teacher training certification and continue to stay abreast of current information and research through ongoing educational requirements. These teachers have completed at minimum 270 hours of advanced training and they have completed over 30-hours of comprehensive case studies in which they implemented the materials learned in Yoga Medicine® trainings. Our 500-hour certification is an academic endeavor that requires a deep sense of commitment and dedication from the teacher, but the journey doesn’t end there — we are never truly done learning.

After achieving their 500-hour certificate, the Therapeutic Specialists stay relevant and up-to-date with annual continuing education requirements with Yoga Medicine®. To reflect their continued dedication to raising the bar, we recognize that these teachers are in a league of their own: Yoga Medicine® Registered Therapeutic Specialists.
