What’s it like to take yoga teacher training and what are the lasting effects
Many people who come to my yoga classes asked the same question: what’s it like to take a yoga teacher training and what are the lasting effects in paying to do so this blog will attempt to answer both those questions.
Widely Different
Yoga teacher training programs can vary widely in terms of their structure and content, but many programs follow a similar format. Here is an overview of what a typical yoga teacher training program might include:
- Classroom instruction: This may include lectures, discussions, and workshops on topics such as yoga philosophy, anatomy and physiology, and teaching techniques.
- Practical training: This may include hands-on practice teaching yoga, observing and assisting in yoga classes, and receiving feedback on your teaching.
- Independent study: This may include reading assignments, written assignments, and other self-guided learning activities.
- Physical practice: Many yoga teacher training programs include a daily yoga practice as part of the program. This may involve participating in asana (posture) practice, pranayama (breathing) practice, and meditation.
- Homework and assignments: Yoga teacher training programs often include homework and assignments that may need to be completed outside of class time. These may include reading assignments, written assignments, and other self-guided learning activities.
Challenging
Yoga teacher training is a challenging but rewarding experience that requires a significant time and energy commitment.
It is an opportunity to deepen your personal yoga practice, learn more about yoga philosophy and teaching, and develop the skills and confidence to teach yoga to others.
Lasting Effects
There are many potential lasting effects of taking a yoga teacher training program. Some of the most common include:
- Improved physical health: Yoga teacher training can help you improve your physical health through the daily practice of yoga asana (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises).
- Enhanced mental and emotional well-being: Yoga can have a positive impact on mental and emotional well-being, and teacher training can help you deepen your understanding of these benefits and how to share them with others.
- Greater self-awareness: The process of learning to teach yoga can help you become more self-aware, both on and off the mat.
- Stronger personal yoga practice: Participating in a yoga teacher training program can help you deepen your personal yoga practice and develop a more consistent and regular practice.
- New career opportunities: Upon completing a yoga teacher training program, you may be eligible to register with the Yoga Alliance and teach yoga professionally. This can open up new career opportunities and allow you to share your passion for yoga with others.
- Lifelong learning: Yoga teacher training is just the beginning of a lifelong journey of learning and growth. Many graduates of teacher training programs continue to seek out additional education and training to further their knowledge and skills.
