Yoga teacher training is a big decision. It’s not just an investment of time and money – it’s also an investment in your yoga career. Before you make the leap, there are three things you should know about yoga teacher training immersion: yoga instructor requirements, yoga certification requirements, and yoga studio requirements.
1) Yoga instructor requirements: You will need to take 300 hours of yoga training before taking a 200-hour yoga teacher training course (although some schools offer 100-hour courses). The good news is that this can be done by attending 10x 2-hour classes per week for one year!
2) Certification: Certification is required to become a registered yoga instructor or teaching assistant in most countries around the world (including Canada and the USA).
3) Studio requirements: Typically, yoga studios require a yoga certification before allowing you to teach and also prefer that you complete at least 200 hours of yoga teacher training.
In conclusion, it’s important to do your research and understand the requirements of yoga teacher training before signing up. It’s also a good idea to attend multiple yoga classes and get a sense of different styles of yoga before making the commitment!
