If you’ve already done a YTT yourself, then you might know that this sometimes might not have been enough. Even for yoga teachers, it’s important to be schooled and trained.
The knowledge might not have changed over all these years, but a discipline that’s thousands of years old has a lot to talk about. So, in this article, I will discuss a couple of online Yoga Teacher Trainings that will give you some extra knowledge to pass on to your students!
And if you’ve not done your YTT yet, you can also participate in these and look at it like a very long yoga workshop ;). They will give you a lot of tools to deepen your practice and you don’t even have to teach.
Why Continuing Education?
It might look weird that Yoga Alliance is so keen on having you train more and more over the years. But it does make sense. In every job you always have trainings and workshops to attend over the years of your career. And the same goes with Yoga.
Yoga is who knows how old already and it used to be passed on from teacher to student, orally. And it must be said that this knowledge can already fill a library on its own. Therefore, you’ll never stop learning, not even as a yoga teacher.
And the great thing is that, even after the measurements of the COVID-19 are over, most of these courses offer a certification that can be registered at Yoga Alliance.
These hours, even though they all won’t count, a lot of them will be counted as continuing education. Which you’ll need if you’d like to keep registered at YA.
