Your Guide to Yoga Teacher Training
1. What is a Yoga Teacher Training Course?
A Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC) is a special program that helps you learn a lot about yoga. It covers topics like yoga philosophy, how your body works, ways to teach and even meditation. Completing this course makes you a certified yoga teacher and also helps you grow as a person by giving you useful tools. It's like a journey of learning and self-discovery!
2. Who can join a Yoga TTC?
Yoga Teacher Training Courses (TTC's) welcome everyone, whether you're just starting or have lots of experience. Some people take these courses to become yoga teachers, but many also do it for their personal practice, to learn more and understand better everything around Yoga. All you need is a love for yoga and a curiosity to explore its different parts.
3. How long does a typical Yoga TTC last?
In our 200-hour course, you'll spend three weeks learning, and for the 300-hour course, it's four weeks. It's essential to know that if the courses are shorter, you might not get all the hours mentioned in your certificate. This is crucial when choosing a TTC.

Your success in teaching yoga is our priority!

5. How do I choose the right Yoga TTC for me?
When choosing a yoga course, think about a few things to make sure it's just right for you. Check how long it lasts, how many students are in each class, and if the teachers can give you enough attention. Look at where it is, what style of yoga they teach and if the school is ready to keep supporting you after you finish the course. Read what others say in reviews, talk to people who did it before and make sure the program is approved by Yoga Alliance. Sometimes, courses that cover lots of different yoga styles in the certificate might not give you a deep understanding of each one because there isn't enough time.
