How do you know you're ready for a yoga teacher training?

8/14/2021

One of the most common questions we get from potential trainees for our foundational 200 hour vinyasa yoga teacher training is, do you think I'm ready? If you are thinking about this, you are not alone. Most who show up to their first day of training are wondering if they are ready, glancing over at the other trainees and their yoga practice. Is she stronger than me? Is he more enlightened than me?  

We've had trainees from all walks of life graduate our program with flying colors. An 18 year old recent high school graduate having a taste of freedom. A 63 year old former marketing director looking for change. A 23 year old medical student on a gap year. A 34 year old psychologist in-between jobs. Along with most of our trainees (we've graduated over 100 at the time of writing), they have a few things in common. Do you recognise yourself in any of this?  

  1. Practicing yoga is important in your every day life. You prioritise your practice. You sign up for workshops, look up vinyasa classes when you travel and you schedule your social life around your favourite teachers. 
  2. You are hungry for more yoga knowledge. Ready to listen to the details of chaturanga dandasana. Ready to try challenging transitions and unusual poses. Ready to hear the story behind modern yoga. Eager to connect the dots. 
  3. Your practice is so advanced that you know the unimportance of advanced poses. You know that listening inwards is everything. You know that progress is highly individual, and that an asana never ends. 
  4. Your yoga practice is so important to you that you are not sure you want to teach yoga at all, but may just want to keep it to yourself. (That's right. Few trainees are career minded. Few know what they want. But all are very passionate about yoga and its' effects).
  5. You are ready for change. In-between things. In transition. Tired of your job. Looking for meaning. Looking for like-minded people. 
  6. You have already taught yoga casually to a few colleagues or friends, and noticed that you got away with it and actually had fun. 
  7. You have a personal story behind your yoga passion. It has meaning and has had an impact on your life.
  8. You are looking for a challenge and an adventure.
  9. You haven't found a teacher your love where you live, and feel like you have to take matters into your own hands and learn the craft.
