How We Verify Trainers

Every trainer profile on YogaSetu is reviewed by a person before it becomes visible to the public.

What we check

1. Yoga certificates — e.g. Yoga Certification Board (YCB, Ministry of AYUSH), Yoga Alliance RYT-200/500, or university and institute diplomas. Trainers upload them at sign-up.
2. Government ID — the name on the ID must match the certificate and the profile.
3. Profile accuracy — styles, experience and fees must be consistent with the documents.

After approval

• New documents a trainer uploads are reviewed again.
• Reviews can only be left by students who joined through a YogaSetu enquiry, and are moderated only for abuse — not for being negative.
• Trainers who mislead students or misuse student details are suspended.

What verification does not mean

The "Certificates checked" badge means we have seen valid documents. It is not a guarantee of teaching quality or of results. Always take a trial class, and tell your trainer about any health condition.
