Enroll In a Yoga Teacher Training Program of Your Choice
Like every career choice you make, the first step begins with learning and practicing the art. This is the same with making a career with yoga too. You need to immerse yourself in science completely before you can start imparting it to others. Start with basic classes at a studio to get a hold of it before you can think about going for a yoga teacher training program. Identify the apt yoga studios that offer programs for aspiring yoga professionals. Find the right program based on your preferred style and curriculum. Think about a yoga school in India, Bali, Nepal, Thailand, if you are looking for traditional and more authentic immersion. Find a yoga school of your liking in Rishikesh, the yoga capital of India. Where you can start with a 100, or a 200 hour yoga teacher training.
Get Into the Nitty Gritty of the Certification
When selecting a yoga teacher training program, making an informed choice about whether to pick 200 hour, 300 hour or 500 hour, is just a part of it. It is barely the beginning to landing a great program that can help you build a solid career with yoga. This is where the program’s recognition and the school’s overall validation status comes into play. After all, you would not want to teach yoga without a proper license to impart its teachings across the globe. And this can only happen if you go ahead with a yoga school or a yoga studio whose programs are recognised by Yoga alliance. Through a Yoga Alliance validated program, you will be able to ensure your registration status as a registered yoga teacher (RYT).
Register The RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) Certification
When you are through with the program, whether a 200 hour yoga teacher training, a 300 hour Yoga TTC or a 500 hour Yoga TTC, it is important to register the certificate at the Yoga Alliance website to become a registered yoga teacher or instructor. With an RYT status, you will be able to land a qualitative job at a known yoga studio or a gym. If you do not intend to work at another platform and would prefer to work on your own then you do not need an RYT status.
Start Planning Private Workshops and Sessions
The day you take your first class post completion of the program, you are officially a yoga professional and a part of the tightly-knitted yoga community. To make your presence felt, you need to invest and plan how to build your own brand. And it starts with giving 1:1 sessions, private classes.
Develop Your Brand As a Yoga Professional
It is important to note that yoga is a competitive industry and it is not easy to make a mark here.
