If you’re considering doing a yoga teacher training (ytt), congratulations! It is one of the most rewarding and meaningful ways to share your passion for yoga with others. So how do you prepare for one and how do you get the most out of this expensive training experience?
Preparing For A Yoga Teacher Training
Regular Practice: This not only helps you to hit the course running, but it also helps you to physically and mentally prepare for a lot of yoga. As you will be doing a lot of in your yoga teacher training.
Do Your Research: The 200 Hour YTT is for several specific styles of yoga, like Kundalini, restorative; the most popularly hatha. Which is really the foundation style for all other styles of yoga.
Financial Considerations: Yoga teacher trainings are offered around the world and their costs are important to consider. As they can range from$500 doing an online yoga teacher training to an all inclusive yoga teacher training package in Bali or Thailand for $5000 to $10,000.
The Time: Aside from the costs, there’s a significant amount of time commitment necessary to do a yoga teacher training.
We’re not just talking about taking some significant time off of work, we’re talking about a lot of physical and mental energy changing and challenging your body and personal issues. Aside from being around other students for many hours a day, for days and weeks.
Get The Most Out Of It
Be Present: This is meant physically and mentally. Physically you should show up for all of the yoga teacher training in person classes. And you should also ground yourself, so you are mentally there to be able to navigate the personal stuff that will come up doing a ytt as well.
Take Care Of Yourself: If you’re a person who likes to go to the bars, eats a lot, does not get enough sleep and is stressed most of the time, they all will work directly against doing a yoga teacher training.
Usually doing a ytt works two ways for people. One student just shows up and the intense training forces them into a healthier lifestyle, which sometimes lasts forever. While other students show up not sure why they are there.
And in the end, they may or may not get a certificate, but will go back to their immediate gratification lifestyle. Like eating too much, not sleeping enough, and going to bars after the training.
Get A Mentor: Like anything in life, a mentor can be a master yoga trainer or even a counselor. A mentor can be anybody who will help you to navigate the mental & emotional stuff that will come up while doing a ytt.
In Sum
Preparing for a Yoga Teacher Training and getting the most out of it really just comes down a few things. Being a little physically and mentally ready to undertake what is a significant life changing event for many people. Good luck!
