I am interested in becoming a certified Yoga Instructor, but how do I know which programs are legit?
I have done a little research online but it seems that almost any studio can pop up and claim to offer some number of training hours for instructors and whatnot. Is there an official website for yoga instructors that offers the names of accredited (if there is such a thing) programs?
You’re right……..there are lots of studios out there who are claiming that. Unfortunately, at this time it is still unregulated in the US. However, there is an organization called The Yoga Alliance which has certain requirements that yoga teachers must fulfill in order to register with them. If you choose a school registered with the Yoga Alliance, you know that it will have not only a good reputation but the highest possible standards and best training available. If you go to their website, they will have all registered schools listed. Good luck!

Yoga $33.91 This mother-daughter-son writing trio studied personally with the great yogi B.K.S. Iyengar and then spent their lives teaching the subject. Their familial effort here is considered by many authorities to be the final word on the Iyengar method of hatha yoga. Like Mira Mehta's impressive solo work, HOW TO USE YOGA, this one has a visually striking layout, with plenty of large photos, diagrams, and charts to scrupulously illustrate yoga postures (asanas), overall philosophy, and health benefits. With precision and exhaustive detail, the authors explain 100 asanas that have something to offer to beginning as well as advanced students. Asanas are graded between one and four stars depending on level of difficulty. This book contains a forward by B.K.S. Iyengar himself, and an appendix that offers additional resources such as coursework, reading, and other programs. |
