If you've been looking at Yoga teacher training Westchester programs, you've probably seen the wide variety of approaches, institutions, and curricula available. Taking a course to become a yoga teacher is a substantial cost and time commitment. It might be challenging to determine which option best suits your needs. Below are the top 5 tips to help you while you do your research:
I already paid for an online course and didn’t finish! Help!
Many have already experienced the drawbacks of online yoga teacher training, paid for a course and did not finish it. They still want to complete the training but with another school. But it pains them to have to pay all over again. Check and see with the schools that you are considering , like Westchester Yoga, they will give you a significant discount for their program with proof of your previous TT purchase.
Yoga Alliance Registered Schools
Check and see if the school that you are considering is registered with Yoga Alliance. Equally Yoga Alliance has an upleveled RYT200 designation for some schools. If the quality of the program is important check and see if the school has the upleveled status.
Some online trainings have thousands of teacher trainees. It is hard to stay on track, stay accountable and feel like you are part of a real community when this is the case. Equally you need to send in videos to have your teaching evaluated. Smaller class sizes means that the faculty can give you detailed feedback rather than 3 lines. Detail feedback means that you know what and how to improve. If the class size is massive, chances are they simply do not have the time and resources to give each trainee the detailed feedback that they need. This translates to you not feeling entirely confident teaching a yoga class even after you graduate.
Yoga is Community
When you schedule a call for the school, do you speak with the lead faculty? That is a big indicator of whether or not you will have direct communication with the teacher during the training. There are some online yoga schools that send videos to answer questions, they are not in your time zone. Ask what time zone they are in. A big part of traditional yoga is the community, how does the school create that sense of belonging.
YOUR Reasons
Your reasons are unique to you. Some people want to create a yoga family. It is important to have a personal connection with the faculty and the classmates. For others it is not. For others it’s all about the price, the lower the better. Make a list, a dream list, write it out. What are the most important things for YOU? Have the list in heart, mind and in front of you when you do your research. Follow the schools that you are considering on social media, sign up for their newsletters. Get to know them and see if they match the vibe that you are looking for.
