Members of YAGD attend monthly meetings which incorporate programs and seminars on various aspects of yoga and related subjects. Their content is planned so that members continuously help each other to improve their skills in teaching yoga. Visiting guest speakers also add to that process.

Programs and services for students of all levels include Spring and Fall  YOGADAYs, with many classes to choose from, taught by YAGD members. The association also holds a bi-annual weekend workshop with a nationally known guest teacher. Past workshops have been led by television teacher Lilias Folan, IYAT founder Larry Payne, Stretch and Relax author Maxine Tobias, Yoga Journal founding editor Judith Lasater, Jason Crandell and many others.
