Beyond 500 Hours: Competency-Based Standards and the American Yoga Council
with Andrew Tanner
Are 200 and 500 hour designations meaningful, or are they just gatekeeping? Andrew Tanner, CEO of American Yoga Council, is uniquely qualified to speak on the topic; his past includes owning multiple studios, leading Kripalu School of Yoga and Ayurveda, a stint as a Yoga Alliance board member, and later leading its Standards Review project. Tanner describes founding the American Yoga Council as a public benefit corporation to improve yoga education and help professionals earn a living through transparent, competency-based school standards with accountability, member benefits like insurance and continuing education, revenue sharing back to teachers and schools, and consumer tools to match people with the right yoga for their needs.
