Reasons why should you do a Yoga Teacher Training Course in 2023
Table of Contents
A yoga teacher has to teach more than just difficult asanas and pranayama. Yoga is not just a job or career, but a total lifestyle.
If you’re looking into becoming a professional yoga teacher, there are several ways to do it.
The quickest and most popular way to becoming a qualified professional is a Yoga Teacher Training Course.
The popularity of these courses has exploded since the establishment of the Yoga Alliance USA in 1999.
If you’re already a yogi and are looking to start a career, we’ve created a list of some of the biggest reasons you should consider joining a Yoga TTC today.
1. You want to go full time:
Anyone can teach yoga, even if you’ve just learned from YouTube, or your local ashram or gym.
However, when it comes to a proper career, training and education matter a lot. Most yoga studios and gyms require at least some sort of qualification.
Becoming a certified Yoga Teacher makes your resume shine, and makes you an attractive hire. This also shows your seriousness in becoming a true professional.
2. You want to gain more knowledge
Yoga Teacher Training courses are long and complex enough, 200 hours of training being the minimum requirement to complete a Teacher training course.
This means you have to spend at least a full month training with experienced Yogis. In your regular drop-in classes, the teacher is not able to give a lot of focus on each student, as they have limited time to teach multiple batches throughout the day. As YTTCs provide each student with more dedicated time and attention, this allows your Guru to focus more on each individual, and truly build a guru-shishya relationship.
3. A more complete yogic approach
The history, the foundational concepts, and the philosophy of yoga are just as important as complex poses that look great on your Instagram. Yoga Teacher Training provides you with dedicated and detailed lessons on Yoga Anatomy, Shatkriya, Philosophy of Yoga as well as Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of natural medicine. You will need this fundamental knowledge if you’re in this for the long term. You will be able to get a strong foundation, so you can get a head start in further exploration of the Yoga world.
4. Amazing opportunity of a lifetime
The mountains and valleys of the Himalayas are the birthplace of Yoga. Yoga is practised in a natural environment. Clean living, meditation and breath training is also best suited in natural and relaxing environments.
This is why most great yoga schools are located in pristine tourist location, in mountains as well as beaches. As an example, our school Vyas Yoga Center is located in Rishikesh, one of the top yoga locations in the world.
Located in the heart of the Himalayan foothills, near the mighty and holy river Ganga, our students are easily able to go on treks and nature walks whenever they are not in class.
As Rishikesh is also a big tourist hub, our students also get the chance to get exposed to the local cuisine, culture and shopping experiences.
Add in some other yoga lovers from all over the world, and you have the rare chance to make lifelong friends and have a unique month-long adventure while building up your profile.
Why you should choose a Residential Yoga Course
