Starting the search for the right teacher training is daunting and time consuming. It may be so overwhelming that you may not even know where to start. However, asking yourself some key questions will help you reflect on your goals, motivations and interests. Grab a notebook and write down the answers to the following questions.
Starting the search for the right teacher training is daunting and time consuming. It may be so overwhelming that you may not even know where to start. However, asking yourself some key questions will help you reflect on your goals, motivations and interests. Grab a notebook and write down the answers to the following questions.
Don’t underestimate the importance of answering these questions to the best of your ability. Your responses will greatly narrow down your options and help you find the type of program that will strike a chord with you. This is essential. If you don’t love your practice and the material you’re given, it will be extremely difficult to reap all the benefits from your program.
How do you feel after the previous reflection exercise? If you’re pumped and ready to take the next step, congratulations! It’s time to look for a 200-hour teacher training and a subsequent 300-hour or 500-hour training. A 200-hour training is the essential qualification anyone aspiring to become a yoga teacher should get.
In my case, I was lucky enough to find a two-year 600-hour program in Mexico City. While this option is not the most common, I chose it because I wanted to study locally, slowly and surely. Asking myself the above questions helped me reach that conclusion!
If, however, you’re doubtful about any aspect of what it takes to become a yoga teacher, refer to the books below to get more insight into the lives and work of actual yoga teachers.
In my own journey, I’ve come across textbook-like literature that has helped me complement the material my teachers have provided. I’ve also found inspiration when hitting a mental wall.
The quintessential yoga bible written by one of the greatest yoga masters of our time. It’s an amazing reference book for any yoga practitioner.
Another bible for modern-day yoga teachers! If you want to get an idea of what it takes to become and thrive as a yoga teacher, look no further.
This book has been my go-to reference book to reinforce knowledge from my own yoga teacher training.
Refer back to this book whenever you’re struggling with building sequences.
This gem is perfect for anyone wanting to dive deeper into scientifically-sound information about the physical benefits of yoga.
A great and detailed book that will teach you everything you need to know about chakras.
