7 Reasons You're Ready For A Yoga Teacher Training
Have you been thinking about taking a yoga teacher training but are not sure if you are ready?
If you have questions like "am I good enough" or "is yoga teaching training for me," this article will answer those & more of your concerns!
Hopefully, you'll know if you are ready for a YTT at the end of this blog post.
Now, let's begin!
7 reasons you're ready for a yoga teacher training:
1. You have an established and regular practice
While you don't need to have practiced yoga for many years (before the teacher training), it is good that you have a solid prior yoga practice of at least 4-6 months.
Some classes can be more dynamic and challenging at times, so having regular practice for at least a couple of months is recommendable.
So, if you've been practicing yoga for a couple of months now, you love it and are interested in learning more, YTT can be a great option.
2. You want to deepen your practice
If you are deeply passionate about yoga and want to learn more about performing asanas (poses) correctly, those are already great signs that you can go for a YTT.
Or perhaps you keep wondering (and want to understand) what specific terms mean, and you are interested in spiritual practices?
A yoga teacher training will help you learn all of that & much more!
3. You want to connect with your true self in a more profound way
Yoga is a fantastic way to realize that everything you truly need is within.
Through learning how your mind and body works and by deepening your spiritual practices, you will get a more profound sense of who you are as an individual. You'll be able to tap into your inner strength, confidence, and power.
4. You want to meet like-minded people
If you would love to be a part of a safe space that encourages sharing and expressing freely, becoming a yoga teacher might be a beautiful opportunity to experience that.
The best part is - you will meet like-minded people, create life-long friendships, and be a part of a community that's all about personal growth, helping others, and making a positive change in the world.
5. Yoga has helped you overcome something
Yoga is a fantastic way to go through mental struggles and hard times in life, or even physical injuries.
So if it helped you somehow, and you want to share the incredible benefits of practicing yoga with more people and how it can help in different moments in life, then yoga teacher training is something to consider.
6. You're ready for inner discovery
Yoga and meditation are processes of inner discovery and are considered compelling healing arts.
Yoga affects both your body and mind, and it offers incredible transformative processes, which you will most certainly go through in yoga teacher training.
7. You love challenges
Getting through teacher training on its own is a commitment, not just the time and financial obligation, but also a promise to yourself, your practice, and your future goals.
Sum up
All in all, you don't have to know how to do a perfect handstand or a split to be qualified to take yoga teacher training.
And don't worry about not being too flexible or too strong. You'll develop those skills (+many more!) during your YTT.
The truth is that teaching yoga is one of the most rewarding ways to be part of a community. It will help you grow as not only a yogi but also as a person.
So, if you love yoga and feel a burning desire to learn more, then YTT is for you.
