Yoga Teacher Training

smeedyova

Hi all: I wonder if there are any yoga teachers on here who could advise on courses to attend/avoid? I would like to do an accredited course. I'm wondering about the YTI foundation course to start with?

Also, I guess this is hard to quantify, but how "good" do you think you should be before starting a yoga teacher training course? Thanks!

Hi,

Green Lotus Yoga is really good. I did a one year course with Carol Murphy there. There are also shorter certifications. She teaches Ashtanga based with Iyengar alignment. Very powerful mix!
I have a student who just completed the YTI training. It seems to be more Hatha based. And from talking to her it sounds very good a well so it would depend on what kind of yoga you practice and want to teach.

It all depends on what you're after. I would do some pretty serious checks on who the teacher will be for your training as that's really what you'll be paying for (their expertise). Teacher trainings are very expensive and a lot of studios are forced into doing them because their overheads can be quite high. It is much more lucrative to teach teachers than to teach regular students.

With regard to how 'good at yoga' you have to be there is no real requirement. I would recommend, however, to not even consider training as a teacher until you have at least a couple of years of daily practice under your belt (and for me that would be the absolute minimum). I would be of the opinion that anyone who will allow you to do their teacher training course without that prior experience just wants your money. And there are a LOT of them unfortunately.

Our teaacher in India always said that 'there is no such thing as teacher training... only student training'. In other words, you practise for a long time with a good teacher and then your own experience will enable you to pass it on to other students. We run daily Ashtanga classes in Dublin and, if you ever see us starting up a teacher training programme you will know that we need the money. Never say never I suppose
