2. Style Of Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Power Yoga, Acro Yoga, Aerial Yoga etc. Obviously, not all styles of yoga are suitable for you. So if you’re at the beginning of your practice, go and explore many styles of yoga and see what works for you.

Your first 200 hour Yoga teacher training will offer you a basic foundation of yoga that is like ‘building blocks’ for the rest of your learning throughout your life. So that it can be a good idea to focus on a mainstream style of yoga, to begin with, and keep an open mind whilst exploring other styles during your training.

3. How Experienced Is The School?

When you’re choosing a teacher training course, remember that a yoga school or yoga studio is like a waterfall – everything you’ll learn. It’s important to choose a reputable school and one that is experienced in offering yoga courses.

Nowadays there are thousands of new schools offering training every year in the yoga industry. Teacher training is a significant investment, both in terms of your money and time. So it’s in your best interests to choose a reputable school with a witnessed track record based on student’s review written on an authenticate platform i.e. Google Business Page or Trust Pilot. You must also explore some video review given by their recently graduate students on youtube.

Don’t be afraid to get in touch with the school with specific questions – if you want to know what the daily schedule will be, just ask! There’s no such thing as a silly question, and any training organisation worth its salt will be more than happy to talk you through the finer details of their courses

4. Yoga Teacher Team 

The teaching team at a yoga training school is the school’s biggest asset. When you are learning yoga to teach, Your teacher will become a pivotal role model and source of inspiration. Do proper research on the teaching team. How many years of combined experience does this teaching team have? Does there is any guest teacher available for specialised modules such as anatomy and philosophy or Ayurveda? A few schools also offer special classes of Ayurveda during their course.

Each teacher in the team must have internationally recognized certification and they must have an expert in their particular yogic discipline.

5. Budget

Yoga teacher training is a big investment ranging from USD 1200 USD to 5000 USD depending on the location of school and course (200hrs YTTC, 300hrs YTTC, 500hrs YTTC). Remember that amount is not just about the tuition fee, It exclusive of accommodation, travel cost, and food.

Price of Yoga Teacher training courses depends on various factors such as geography (India vs. Bali), business structure, taxes, so on and so forth.

7. Training Credentials

So far, Yoga Alliance (YA) and UK Professional are one of the most recognized yoga institutions around the world. However, many yoga schools are accredited only with the Yoga Alliance. But likewise, many yoga schools are not registered with any yoga institute.

Whether or not you should pick a registered school, goes back to point number one (identifying your objective). If your goal is to become a yoga teacher, I suggest you go with a school that is accredited. Because most yoga studios request their teachers to be Yoga Alliance certified. Being a certified yoga teacher will help you to get a job easy.

8. A Standard Yoga Training Curriculum

Although Yoga Alliance has a predefined standard curriculum for the yoga teacher training courses. But mostly schools modify a certain area of the standard curriculum. Few schools are focus only on yoga practice. They do not give knowledge of Philosophy and Anatomy to their students. When you’re searching for a school, ask for their curriculum, see the daily sample schedule, and read the testimonials online.

9. How Many Students Will Be In The Course?

Just like a school classroom, you’ll receive more individual attention, tips, and feedback in smaller group size.

A group of 20-25 students or less is perfect to learn yoga. This size of a group gives enough minds and bodies to create interesting discussions and practice teaching asana. Beyond this limit of students, in a large group, It is possible that your individual voice will not be heard and your questions will be unanswered.

Ideally, you must be looking for a medium-sized yoga class, enabling you to form close relationships with your peers in a hands-on, intensive learning environment.

10. Where Does The Training Take Place?

While you are investing a big amount to learn a yoga teacher training course, So it is important to consider the best location during choosing your preferable yoga school. Always, take a look at the location of the school as it’s a place you’d like to visit.

Some yoga teacher training courses feature at beautiful beachside shalas and some are located at high up in tropical rainforests with views of the surrounding rainforest. A location of your training has a big influence on your ability to absorb new things. So it makes sense to give yourself a head start on your learning journey by removing as many distractions as possible!
