* BAVI IS NOT a Yoga Alliance Registered program. *

We are very upfront and honest about this choice.

The global yoga landscape is changing, and our bold belief is while YA may have started out as a well-intentioned "non-profit", they are outdated. YA does not represent the ethics and inclusivity we work to embody. They do not provide adequate introspection, regulations and supervision to meet our standards in support and trainings. 

YA is not a governing body. They are not a certification body. They are simply a "criteria-based model" which BAVI meets and exceeds their education standards.

BAVI has been carefully curated, offering a unique extensive program, rich with knowledge, exploring the depths of yoga roots, culture, principles, asana, various styles of practices + teachings, so you leave with a wealth of information and a network of resources to rely on. BAVI meets and goes above the YA standards for a 200HR training program.

A YA certified program is not required by all studios to teach, but we cannot guarantee a studio will not ask you. 

Upon completion graduates will receive a certification of completion for BAVI 200HR yoga teacher immersion program from HARVEST yoga + wellness studio, and lead teachers Megan Davis + Tracey Duncko.

We would love to talk this through with you if you have any additional questions.
