Grandfathering Applications

Currently open only to faculty of NAMA member schools. Applications for AYT program listings of schools that meet the AYT education standards will open in the coming months. Primary teachers must be NAMA AYT recognized before submitting school applications.

(NAMA Professional Membership required to apply)

After nearly 5 years of painstaking details and countless hours of discussion, the Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy Standards subcommittee is very happy to report that we have created legitimate standards for Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy. We encourage NAMA professional members (AHC/AP/AD) with long term training in yoga and yoga therapy who teach in NAMA member schools to take advantage of the grandfathering period and become NAMA recognized teachers of our very thorough AYT standards.
