Global Yoga Community
International Yoga Board (IYB) exists to protect the authenticity of Yoga and to uplift teachers & students through transparent, globally aligned standards.
International Yoga Board (IYB) is an independent global body that evaluates, certifies, and verifies Yoga professionals and training programs. We bring clarity to a space where anyone can claim to be a “teacher”, by setting real standards and providing transparent verification.
Our work is rooted in traditional Yogic wisdom, aligned with modern educational frameworks. We believe that every serious practitioner, teacher, and school deserves a platform that honours their commitment and showcases their credibility globally.
Every decision is rooted in one clear intention — to establish Yoga not just as a trend, but as a responsible and respected profession.
A world where every Yoga student can trust their teacher — and every genuine teacher is recognised beyond borders.
To set clear standards, verify real qualifications, and create a transparent ecosystem for Yoga teachers, schools, and students.
To honour the spiritual roots of Yoga while supporting its professional expression in today’s world.
Our decisions, approvals, and policies are rooted in a set of strong foundational values — never personal preference.
We encourage teachers to remain rooted in true practice — not just certificates. Depth of sadhana matters as much as training hours.
Every policy prioritises student welfare, protecting them from misinformation, unsafe practice, and unethical behaviour.
IYB-verified teachers uphold clear ethical guidelines for conduct, boundaries, and communication.
All criteria for approval, denial, and verification are documented and communicated clearly.
We honour diverse traditions and lineages that follow ethical and responsible conduct.
Standards are regularly reviewed with input from senior teachers and education experts.
IYB does not “sell” certificates. Every verification upholds responsibility — toward students, the teacher’s reputation, and the sacred essence of Yoga.
A safer and more transparent way to discover qualified and verified teachers and schools.
Recognition beyond a single school — your ethics, experience, and practice all matter.
A hallmark of quality that reflects structured training and student welfare.
From the first application to the final verification — every step is documented and accountable.
Study of international standards, traditional Yogic frameworks, and modern educational best practices.
Review and expert input from senior Yoga teachers, therapists, and school founders.
Well-structured guidelines covering curriculum, training hours, ethics, and verification.
Periodic updates based on community feedback and evolving best practices.
