AYC Scope of Practice

A Scope of Practice is, at heart, a simple promise to work within your agreed field of competency as a yoga teacher. For us at the American Yoga Council, that agreement is made even more explicit, because we credential you on the basis of your competencies – your skills – rather than on the number of hours that you have trained.
