Credibility is an essential quality that students who are looking for a yoga teacher (or yoga community/studio) are searching for. If people are going to invest resources in a yoga community, they will do so with a studio or a teacher that they know, like, and trust.
Dive into our practical guide on wrist alignment and sustainable load considerations for the upper body!

Better yet, explore a practical alternative that can be applied to everyone's unique upper body alignment and anatomy.
SAYF Ambassadors are yoga instructors that take their training and step deeper into community and connection by sharing their authentic voice and informed yoga experience.

Join our mission to spread awareness of sustainable asana, sound human movement mechanics, and inclusive language - making yoga more accessible for all types of bodies, abilities, and personalities.
As a professional yoga instructor, it’s your mission to help your students on the journey to finding the happier, healthier version of themselves, all in the name of wellness and inner peace.
Unfortunately, despite these genuine motivations and your undeniable professional skills, accidents, errors, and injuries do happen in the yoga world—and as the yoga teacher, it’s highly likely that if you haven’t taken the right steps to safeguard yourself from these types of issues, you’ll be the one on the hook for dealing with the repercussion of this liability.
Embodying a life-long practice. Yoga is a wonderfully expansive practice. Beyond asana, yoga offers us an infinitely supportive practice that encompasses 8 limbs, 4 paths, 7 energy centers, and so much more. If you practice seated meditation, asana, or any physical practice of yoga, you may or may not have experienced acute or chronic injury related to your practice. While injury can occur from many different life circumstances, it can feel especially frustrating when it results from a practice that is most often referred to as "good for you” or “healing”. Luckily, there are ways to reduce the likelihood of injury in yoga, and awareness of inclusive and adaptive yoga teaching is growing. Your yoga practice can support your overall well-being.
