How to Become a Yoga Instructor

By Kiiera Success Group

Throughout the country Yoga is becoming one of the fastest growing exercise and meditation programs. One of the reasons for this growth is because of all the benefits ranging from improved sense of well being to an overall physical health improvement. As research continues to be done it is continually finding benefits that indicate this practice is physically and mentally healthy. The need for good yoga instructors increases as the practice continues to expand. Beginners need the guidance of a good instructor to eliminate possible injury of overstretched muscles and joints. With the skills and encouragement of a qualified instructor the student can achieve physical goals and then continue to practice independently.

Different levels of yoga instructor and several types of yoga are available. To become certified as an instructor requires reaching a certain level of knowledge. The Yoga Alliance is the watchdog in the industry and has specific standards for individuals who want to instruct.

They have a 200 hour certification as well as a 500 hour certification. Completion of this allows the instructor to place the initials RYT after his name. There are many training programs available and there are certain requirements before becoming a student. Typical would be able to do a handstand in the middle of the room and have practiced yoga for a number of years.

Be aware that most Yoga instructors are unable to make a full time wage giving instruction. Some do, but have to work long and hard to accomplish it without the health benefits or 401 K programs. Although industrious teachers manage to hold down other jobs and instruct on the week ends and evenings, juggling both careers. These hard working teachers would do well to enhance their regimen with a health boost of a new product called Kiiera Viv. This is all natural, healthy and improves energy and body function. Viv comes in a small packet, powder form that is just added to your water, and actually is quite delicious.

Search out a qualified yoga program, by checking out your local yoga studio or center. Many of them offer their own programs so look at their curriculum before you decide where to get your training. Yoga instructors invest several thousand dollars getting their certification which has caused the industry to become a big money operation. Make sure any program you are considering has the Yoga Alliance certification that will make sure the certificate you receive will allow you to participate outside your center. Other considerations would be the financial expense, the schedule for training and the personality of the teacher.

Other things for you to consider would be the cost, schedules and personalities of the instructor. Tuition can run as much as $3000.00 in fees to become certified at the 200 hour level and if you go for the 500 level the cost may be double. Also you should consider your schedule and how it would fit with the classes. Sometimes training it set up for an eight hour shift and will achieve the 200 hour certification in only a month. Other programs can take longer if they are spread out over week ends and evenings. Your choice depends on the amount of hours you can devote to the actual class time. Last thing you should consider is the personality of your instructor, because you will be spending a lot of time together. - 17274
