In the world, there is an increasing trend for having their yoga teacher training course. People highly prefer having their training course to maintain their standard and life for healthiness and peacefulness. People get their course in different parts of the world. They choose the destination far from their home so that they can travel as well as have their training complete with full of excitement and relaxation. Since Teacher training is a big investment of your time, money, and energy, it’s important to spend some time researching programs to see which is the right fit for you. So we have enlisted those top 8 Questions You Have Before Your Yoga Teacher Training.
1. Do I need to be certified to teach yoga?
This is probably the very first question that everyone thinks of asking before registering for a teacher training course. The answer is actually, NO. Not technically. But it’s very easy to get a job if you are – TRUST ME. Most yoga jobs that you look up require at least a 200-RYT (200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher). Because there are so many people who are certified they could hire, why would they hire someone who’s not? Even now with my certification, I wonder if I should go for my 500-RYT just to have more of an advantage. It never hurts to have more experience under your belt in the ever-growing world of yoga.
2. What style of yoga will I learn?
This is one of the most important questions to ask. Go to the director’s classes and see if the style is something you want to learn. Be wary of training that doesn’t clearly define what they are teaching and try to be a training of all styles. You will need to be focused on one style to be a strong teacher in that style. Once you complete your 200-hour cert, you can take additional training to learn other forms of yoga.
3. What else will I learn besides physical asana?
Often trainings have additional teachings such as anatomy, the history of yoga, energy work, types of yoga, and Vedas and its history. Find out what else the training has to offer.
4. What will I be eating?
Nepalese food is generally based on Indian cuisine and some on Chinese-based cuisines. So normally, the food in Nepal is very delicious. You may get a variety of Indian dishes. But for breakfast here in our training center, you will provide the continental type of breakfast (not so varied). So there won’t be any problem with the food. The food will be healthy, organic, freshly cooked, and also as your choice.
5. What is the average class size?
So Basically the class size depends upon the season or the month, but Nepal is favorable for doing Yoga Teacher Training throughout the year. So normally the class size ranges here in our Academy from 8-15 people. But we think less students the better because more students pay less attention to each student.
6. What kind of yoga mat should I take?
Normally, here in our academy, we have yoga mats for yoga practice. But if you prefer bringing your own type of mats, then you are very welcome. There is no restriction on bringing your mats. You may buy yoga mats as per your needs (may be expensive or cheap).
7. Where would I be sleeping?
When traveling abroad the first thing that comes to our mind, is where to stay and have a wonderful sleep. So does this type of thought come when we travel for studies and training like this yoga teacher training and elsewhere? During your training, you will be staying in rooms with your room partner (female with female and male with male). So you don’t need to worry about the accommodation as you will get perfect rooms with attached bathrooms.
8. What is the price?
While important, we suggest that this is the last question you should be asking or thinking about. 200-hour training is generally between USD 2500-USD 4200. But Nepal being the birthplace of yoga, provides teacher training courses at very affordable prices. We have provided this price with very good reasons. The teaching will be very very good as you receive while paying USD 2500.
