I want to teach YOGA?


How do I become a yoga instructor? Ive been doing it for quite some time, and I would love to become a licensed instructor and teach my own class! Im sure there is a class or school or sorts to take, but I am really in the dark about it all!

Could you please tell me how I can aquire this?
Thanks!

Plenty of places offer yoga teacher certification and yoga certification workshops. You need to get in touch with the major organization of the type of yoga you teach. If you have been teaching for a while, you may be granted a certification if you jump through a few hoops for the certifying organization or the organization may want you to take a certification course (which is oftentimes just a way for the org to make some nice bucks).

I studied Kundalini yoga at a studio in NYC for a few years and then took the teacher certification level 1 when it was offered. It was an expensive course, I didn't learn much about yoga or physiology but me and the other participants were more or less being indoctrinated into the Sikh Kundalini yoga "cult" during this time. I basically self-taught myself about physical yoga and have "official" certifications in Kundalini yoga and I also have a Masters in Yoga Education and certification in hatha and raja yoga that I got through a lame correspondence course from another organization. Despite the money and time I layed out for certifications, everything I know is self-taught. Still, there are yoga organizations out there that have very strict, prolonged, multidimensional and expensive teacher training programs in which you will learn physical yoga, physiology, yoga theory, Sanskrit, and other stuff. Just Google yoga teacher certification or yoga teacher training.

You gotta be good, and wear things like black spandex shorts and red tank tops haha. after that its all down hill.
