How to choose a good one?

Remember!  At first, you need to find a yoga school, not a yoga teacher. 

Because Yoga school is an educational institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning environments for the teaching of students. On the other side, a yoga teacher is the one who helps students to acquire knowledge, competence, or virtue. It is a Yoga School as an institution that gives out certification, not a Yoga Teacher.

If you are on the lookout for a certification to be able to teach yoga professionally. You want to become a qualified yoga teacher. Then a Yoga Alliance USA certified yoga school is the right place for you. It allows you to become a global community of yoga schools and teachers that represents the high quality, safe, accessible, and equitable teaching of yoga.

Secondly, choose a program based on your budget and time.

Make filters to see which yoga school opens for registration in your window period. Then from the result, you can look at which program suits your budget. It doesn’t mean you need to get the cheapest one. You can always find the best school and teacher that meet your qualification within the budget you have.

Things that you need to consider while you do your budgeting are program fee, certification fee, accommodation fee, cost of living during your training, and transportation. It is complicated yes! But why? It’s because the Registered Yoga School under Yoga Alliance might be located far from where you at. It can be located in your hometown, home country, or even abroad.

Some school provides accommodation and food included in their teacher training program tuition. Some are not, so the tuition only covers the program itself.  This is what makes you need to put into your consideration.

Last but not least

We know that it is hard to make a decision. even though you have the money, you have the time and you have found the best program that suits you. At this time, try to see these as such experiences to keep you evolving as you continue to see and consider yourself as a constant learner in the field of yoga and life, learning and growth will occur hand in hand and on a continuous basis.
