Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I enroll in Teacher Training with Yoga Yoga? Yoga Yoga Teacher Training is a recognized, registered school with the Yoga Alliance. Through our rich variety of classes in yoga instruction you will expand the knowledge you gain in your own practice, explore a broader field of yoga study, gain expertise and credentials to advance your career as a yoga teacher, and further your personal, intellectual and spiritual development. Our teacher training program requirements meet or exceed Yoga Alliance's national standards for yoga teacher education.
How long will it take to complete a training program? The Yoga Yoga Hatha Teacher Training Program has several schedule options to choose from that allow you to finish your training on a timeframe that best suits your needs. This includes an intensive format that can be done in just one month or weekend or evening programs that take anywhere from six months to a year, and allow you the flexibility to accommodate for other obligations.
I've seen some training programs lasting only 2 weeks. Why is this program so much longer? Yoga is a lifelong practice, and teaching yoga requires a commitment of learning the skills, experiencing the practice, and serving our community. The schedule of our program gives students time to integrate everything it means to be a yoga teacher. There is no substitute for having the time to put into practice what you are learning!
I already teach yoga. What do you offer for continuing education? Yoga Yoga offers advanced training through special events, workshops, and intensives with national teachers. Teachers are also welcome to register for individual modules and retreats to review and strengthen their previous training.
Are there other benefits to being in the teacher training programs? In addition to participating in our growing student community, Teacher Training Students receive discounts on class passes, books, CDs, and clothes sold at all five Yoga Yoga locations.
I'm not sure if I want to be a teacher or if I am a good enough student to start a program like this. What do I need to do if I wanted to start? Many students pursue teacher training not because they want to teach, but because they love yoga and want to learn more. Teacher Training is a wonderful way to deepen your practice and take it to a new level. The first step in this process is having a yoga practice. Yoga is experiential and we encourage students to practice regularly before, during, and after their training. Your practice, combined with a love of yoga, is really what you need to pursue 200 hours of training.
