Welcome to the Original Hot Yoga Teacher Directory For
Certified Bikram Yoga Teachers and Original Hot Yoga Teachers!
The OHYA Teacher Directory is a private directory for the OHY Teaching community. We welcome members who are either Certified Bikram Yoga Teachers (CBYT), or graduates of an OHYA Approved Teacher Training. (OHYT)
All CBYT and OHYT graduates become interns upon graduation and work toward earning their Level 1 seal by teaching 75 classes with feedback and support and having a qualified OHYA Studio owner sign their Certificate of Standards.
Members of the OHYA Teacher Directory earn Level 2 and Level 3 seals, based on the amount of classes taught (since graduation) AND years teaching. (*One set of seals for CBYT and one set for OHYT)
When you join our directory, your profile will feature your photo, teaching history, continuing education along with your experience and accolades.
By joining the OHYA Teacher Directory, you are strengthening our goal of uniting, supporting and promoting Original Hot Yoga worldwide by ensuring our studios have teachers to continue our unique style of yoga and lineage for years to come.
Certified Bikram Yoga Teachers
Any graduate of Bikram’s Teacher training qualifies to join the Teacher Directory as an intern.
To join, click on the “join” link below and submit your information including which teacher training you attended, enter a photo of your graduation certificate (or your picture at graduation holding it) and how many classes you have taught.
Once that info is complete, please hit “Submit” and pay your fee to join, ($125, valid for 3 years) We will confirm you as an Intern and send you the Class recorder so you can show us you have taught at least 75 classes (since graduation) and get our Certificate Of Standards form so you can get it signed by a qualified OHYA Studio Owner listed in the OHYA Teacher Directory (Level 2 or higher-please email us for further clarification if you need help).
Once you send that back to us, we will send you the seals you qualify for based on years of teaching and number of classes you have taught since graduation. Once you receive your Level 1 seal, we will also add you to our Public Teacher List. (*Please see your confirmation for more info on renewals, enter continuing ed info, applying for approval to teach continuing education and more) We’d love to hear from you and answer your questions: ohyateachers@gmail.com

Graduates of Approved Original Hot Yoga Teacher Trainings
OHYA is taking a proactive stand in supporting the next generation of Original Hot Yoga Teachers by Approving the Original Hot Yoga Teacher Trainings that submit to OHYA and show their program meets or exceeds our standards to create effective and respectful teachers for our community.
Please check if the training you took is Approved by OHYA, and also check out our standards for Approved Teacher Trainings.
If you completed an OHYA Approved training, your membership should be included in your training so that you join the OHYA Teacher Directory, upon graduation as an Intern. You will receive a link so that you can submit your information, upload a photo of your graduation certificate and hit submit. If your training paid for your listing, you just need to submit within the given timeframe to avoid fees. If you are applying on your own, you will land on the payment page to pay your $125 fee to join.
When you receive your confirmation as an Intern, you will receive 2 forms that you will fill out to and send back in order to earn your Level 1 seal.
- Class Recorder Form – Record the dates of your first 75 OHY classes. (Since graduation)
- Certificate of Standards Form – Once you have finished teaching 75 OHY classes, ask a qualified OHYA Studio Member owner (OHYA Teacher Directory Level 2 or 3) take your class and fill out and sign the Certificate of Standards form.
Once you have completed these 2 forms and had them signed, email them back ohyateachers@gmail.com so we can update your profile as a Level 1 OHYT and add your name to the public Teacher Listing. We look forward to having you in our community.
