Teacher Training
About Yoga Certification
Many teachers and yoga schools offer their own yoga certification
or yoga teacher training program. The
Yoga Alliance has set up a program where you can apply
for RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) status, however this is
not regulated by any government institution and is not a requirement
to legally teach yoga.
Choosing a Yoga Teacher Training Program
If there is a particular style of yoga, or a studio or teacher
that you practice with regularly it is a good idea to seek
out a training that will keep you on that path. Ask your teacher
if they offer teacher training or where they were trained.
Many schools of yoga have their own certification. If you
complete their teacher training requirements, you are certified
under that school.
Teacher training is an on-going process. Many teachers start
with one program and then over the years take more trainings
as a continuing education.
