Is 200-hours of Yoga Teacher Training Required for Certification?

By Yoga Asana, Yoga Teachers

The health and wellness industry is booming, and it’s a great time to become a certified yoga trainer. The path, however, is a little onerous. 

Before you land any yoga teaching gig, you’ll be asked if you’ve completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training. This training program equips you with the basic knowledge and skills of yoga anatomy, physiology, philosophy, meditation, asana, pranayama, teaching methodology, and more. 

If you aspire to build a prosperous career as a yoga instructor, launch a yoga studio, or become a yoga retreat host, a 200-hour yoga teacher training will add to your credibility. 

Let’s dive right in to explore what this training program has in store for you and why it is required for yoga teacher certification.   

What is a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training? 

A 200-hour course is the international standard for yoga teacher training. This extensive training program teaches the necessary concepts and helps students develop skills to become reputable instructors. 

You can easily find several short courses of 15 hours being offered over the weekends. While you may be tempted to go for one and start your yoga teaching career right away, you won’t learn enough and develop the right skills in 2-3 days, even if you have a great yoga practice. 

Renowned yoga associations like Yoga Alliance and Yoga Federation warrant a minimum of 200 hours of training for certification registration on the platform.

Areas Covered No. of Hours
Techniques, Training, and Practice 100 hours
Teaching Methodology  25 hours

Yoga Philosophy, Lifestyle, and Ethics for Yoga Teachers 30 hours

Benefits of a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training

The 200-hour yoga teacher training occupies the middle ground between a short 15-hour course and traditional long-term training of 2-5 years. 

Below are the top benefits of this course. 

Makes You a Global Teacher 

A 200-hour yoga teacher training offers a globally accredited certification. This means you can teach anywhere in the world after completing this course. 

Provides Relevant and Comprehensive Info

As compared to short yoga teacher courses, a 200-hour training program covers all essential aspects of yoga, meditation, and teaching methodology in detail. At the same time, it is relevant and to the point.  

It equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to deeply enrich your practice and help you lay a solid foundation for your career.  

Time-Efficient and Cost-Effective

A 200-hour yoga teacher training costs much less than a long-term course. You can get certified within a month and start conducting yoga classes with confidence.  

Enables You to Register with a Professional Yoga Association 

With 200-hour yoga teacher training, you can buy insurance in your country hassle-freely. Most insurance companies ask for certification before giving the insurance. 

Additionally, you can get registered with a professional yoga association like Yoga Alliance. This will be a major step up in terms of credibility and industry reputation. You may also get a chance to connect with yoga instructors from various backgrounds.

Why Online Yoga Teacher Training is an Advantage During COVID

By Yoga Teachers

Why Online Yoga Teacher Training is an Advantage During COVID

COVID shut the world down completely for over a year and has only allowed us to slowly re-emerge into a new world full of masks, mandates, and social distancing. 

As we adjust to this new world, we find ourselves itching to be as creative as we were when we were locked away in our homes with nowhere to go. 

Many of us learned a new skill (or 2 or 12), some of us started valuing experiences over material possessions, and some of us found a new way to live life. 

Whatever your yearning may be, you’ve found your way here to our page, and we welcome you with open arms. 

With COVID taking away all in-person classes, training, education, and more, we’ve had to find a way to pursue our passions online. 

This is where we come in. We said, “Hey, we can do that!” And so we did. We built a completely virtual, 100% online yoga teacher training experience that allows you to explore and immerse yourself in the benefits of yoga and teaching others. 

In our latest article, we discussed the benefits of virtual vs. in-person training. Today we will be talking about how our virtual training is effective and beneficial during this pandemic. 

Safe- Online Yoga Teacher Training During Covid

Our priority is keeping you safe. Our program allows you to train from home and away from an environment that could possibly expose you and your family to COVID. 

Traveling for certification could mean you stay in hotel rooms and then train in a room of people for upwards of 10-12 hours over the course of 6 weeks. You will most likely also have to wear a mask during training, which doesn’t help when attempting to learn effective breathing techniques. 

With our virtual training, you can eliminate the travel and exposure risk.

Practical

Along with the accessibility to train in your own home, it’s also practical because you learn at your own pace. Everyone has their own priorities and daily routines, giving you a chance to learn around your schedule. 

We don’t have scheduled training sessions; they are all recorded and available whenever and wherever you are. You can even train on vacation! 

You’ll be able to become certified when it works for you. It’s not about cramming training and education into a few weekend sessions; it’s about learning with passion and purpose. 

Immersive

Yes, in-person training can help you build friendships and community, but when COVID hit, all of that turned online. We get that, which is why we created a virtual community of our own. 

You’ll have lifetime access to resources, yoga training, and support anytime you need them. In addition, we offer the opportunity to get involved in live classes, workshops, and virtual chat sessions, which keeps your finger on the pulse of the industry and helps you build connections near and far! 

Get Certified with YogaRenew 

If you’ve found yourself intrigued by the idea of becoming a yoga teacher, contact us today. We are available to answer your questions and provide support in any way possible. Our intention is to create a universe of accessible and affordable yoga training courses that anyone can take advantage of.

Online Yoga Teacher Training vs. In-person Training

By Yoga Teachers

Online Yoga Teacher Training vs. In-Person Training

For many of us, 24 hours in a day isn’t enough time. We have to split our precious time between work, sleep, family, household chores, eating, and more. 

Unfortunately, this leaves little time to explore new opportunities that take up more time than you’re able to give. 

If you have been interested in learning more about yoga and becoming a yoga teacher, chances are you haven’t pursued it because of the amount of time you need to spend learning the craft. 

Most likely, you’ve gotten discouraged when you searched for yoga teacher training and were met with 6 to 10-weekend intensive training classes with 10-12 hour days of mandatory attendance…along with a price tag that makes you want to run for the hills. 

Well, we are here to tell you that times have changed, and we here at YogaRenew have broken that mold with online yoga teacher training.

If you’re ready to immerse yourself in the benefits of yoga and become certified to lead classes with confidence, you have come to the right place. 

In a previous article, we discussed the Top 5 reasons for doing a yoga teacher training program, and today we will be discussing the value of virtual vs. in-person training. 

Let’s dive in! 

Accessibility

How many yoga studios are within an hour’s drive to you? How many of those offer certified teacher training courses? If you live in a small town, your chances are slim. 

And now, with COVID restrictions and the way it has affected many businesses, you may not even be able to find a studio remotely close by. 

We created YogaRenew with the intention of making it accessible to as many people as possible. 

You’re able to take the classes on your own time and learn around your schedule, at your own pace. You don’t have to cram them into a few weekend sessions at a yoga studio 2 hours away; you can practice and learn with intention and purpose. 

You’ll be able to take your time, watch and learn and watch again if you need to. So even though it is a rigorous certification, you’ll be able to learn how you want to, whenever you want to. 

Another perk? You have LIFETIME access to the courses and online yoga teacher training resources. So if you need a refresher down the line, it’s there, right at your fingertips. 

Affordability

If the price of in-person teacher training was keeping you from pursuing, we’ve got you covered. In-person training often requires you to pay in full or in 2 or 3 parts over the training period. Right now, that is a hefty price to pay and one that you may not be able to afford to handle, along with your other bills and responsibilities. 

With our program, you pay monthly, which breaks the training price down into manageable payments. We are in the business of helping people learn how to balance their bodies, minds, and souls, and the affordable monthly cost can bring you peace of mind. 

Get Going with YogaRenew

There are numerous benefits of online training, and we have highlighted just a few of them today. These benefits are unique because you don’t get them with in-person training. Our entire reason for creating this online training is to allow people to have accessible and affordable options for pursuing their goal of becoming a yoga teacher! 

If you’re interested in learning more, it’s time to contact us. We are available to answer your questions and put you on the right track to the courses designed for your goals. 

Let’s get moving together!
