Know why you want to take the yoga teacher training.

Maybe you don’t want to teach, but have the niggling desire to deepen your practice, or perhaps you are dead set on teaching. Either way, before you jump into the commitment of teacher training, it’s important to be connected to why you are embarking upon this journey.

If you want to teach, ask yourself what it is that you want to share.  In order to be of the highest service as a yoga teacher, it’s essential to be connected to exactly what it is you intend to ignite in others through sharing your practice. Are you keen to teach mindfulness, compassion, self-love, etc.? Whatever your reason for wanting to teach yoga, staying connected to your purpose will align you with a sense of greater purpose throughout your training and journey as a yoga teacher.

​

Doing your research is important.

Embarking on a little exploration of what’s out there will help you choose the teaching program that most resonates with you.  Your teacher training will shape your teaching style, so it is paramount to choose to train with someone whose style and philosophy are in alignment with your values.  Trust your intuition.  It’s so important to find a program that feels right and is the perfect fit for you.

Think about whether you would prefer an intensive program or a longer training program.  Intensive trainings generally are a month long (or less) and you are with the same group daily in the same location. Lengthier training programs may meet two or three times a week and usually take place over a few months.  Intensives can really catapult your growth as they are a complete incubator, allowing you to be 100% absorbed in the process.  However, making that kind of time commitment isn’t possible for everyone.  Longer programs can leave you more space to dive into and absorb all of the readings.  The most important thing is that you choose the option that is the right fit for you.

It will crack you open.

Teacher training will not only deepen your asana practice and help you learn basic anatomy, it will catapult you into a place of deep self-inquiry. This process will bring up everything about yourself that you need to work on.  If you aren’t ready to be totally committed to your own self-growth, teacher training may not be the best path for you at this time.

Get ready to question everything about yourself and your life.  Be prepared to deal with insecurities you didn’t even know you had.  And be prepared to sit with these uncomfortable feelings every day as you move through your meditation and asana practice.
