Getting the Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) can be rewarding even if you decide not to teach yoga. It will increase your knowledge, promoting tremendous personal growth!

Here are the 3 simple steps to becoming a Yoga Teacher.

1. Find Your Calling

At its core, yoga is an ancient form of exercise to help you improve your mental and physical wellbeing. However, it is not a one-type-of-person sort of practice. No matter what your body, gender, or age is, there is a type of yoga for you out there.

There are many different types of yoga, including Hatha, Ashtanga, Anusara, Vinyasa, and Bikram yoga. Before you are ready to become a teacher, you should understand which style works best for you. When you find your true and inherent passion, you will be ready to turn it into your skill and vocation.

2. Complete A Teacher Training Course

Now that you know the type of yoga that best fits you, you are ready for the yoga teacher training. One of the most common formats is 200-hour teacher training. It can include a wide range of topics such as teaching, anatomy, and philosophy.

However, you should research well on where you do this 200-hour training. It’ll build your foundation and teach you everything you need to know about being a successful teacher. You should go through the Yoga Alliance website to identify the Registered Yoga Schools in your area.
