Our alliance Training Governing standards

All training programs must deliver a structured, comprehensive curriculum that integrates yoga philosophy, anatomy, sequencing, energetics, and spiritual development. 

Students are required to practice, reflect, and embody the teachings—not just intellectually understand them—through consistent personal practice and experiential learning. 

All instructors must demonstrate advanced training, lived experience, and alignment with SSG’s values of healing, ethics, and community impact. 

Programs must uphold trauma-informed, inclusive, and ethically grounded environments, ensuring safety, respect, and dignity for all participants. 

Graduates must demonstrate the ability to confidently lead classes, apply sequencing principles, hold space, and adapt to diverse student needs before certification. 

Certification reflects a commitment to ongoing learning, service, and contribution, with an expectation that graduates use their training to support both personal transformation and community wellness.
