One of the most popular questions we get at YogaBC is "Where should I take my teacher training?" Here are 11 questions to ask before you take the plunge.
- What are my reasons for taking yoga teacher training? For my own interests, to deepen my practice, or to teach yoga on completion? Make sure your potential school can meet your needs.
- What is my learning style and time I can commit? Many programs run weekends make sure you have carved out the time needed for the program, practice and homework.
- Is the teaching program registered and recognized, are they a member of YogaBC?
- How many classes have graduated from this Teacher Training program? Ask to contact and speak to a past graduate.
- How big is the class size? How much one-one attention will I get?
- Who are the primary teachers, how many hours will they be teaching?
- What is the Teacher Trainer's background and experience? Take their class, get to know their teaching style.
- Is there a code of ethics or a code of conduct for the program?
- Will a practicum or mentorship program be offered as a part of the Teacher Training?
- What happens after the program? Who I am qualified to teach? If your dream is to teach prenatal yoga and your teacher training doesn't cover it, you will need additional hours and certification.
- What are the costs (text books, classes, trips, and fees)?
Any questions I missed? Post them here to help your fellow yogis navigate their teaching journey.
