Prepare yourself for becoming a yoga instructor
You have decided to make a career in yoga and have decided to take up training to be a yoga instructor. But this is not a simple decision that can be based on some whims, it your career choice and has to be well thought through. You need to choose a course which fits you well. You maybe even considering traveling to India for the course. Although, yoga course are available in every nook and corner of India, Yoga teacher training in Dharamshala and Rishikeshis extremely popular. Many foreign tourists choose to come to a Yoga retreat in Goa as it gives them the triple benefit of great location (with its beaches, tropical climate and excellent teachers). Travelling to these places needs both time and money - all the more reason for you to think through your decision. Go here for more information.
Below are 6 points to bear in mind when deciding to pursue a career in yoga
1. Have a purpose
The feeling and purpose of teaching yoga needsto come from within. It will require lot of endurance, commitment and determination to do the course and then teach it - if you feel you can’t go the whole nine yards, you should call it quits sooner rather than later.
2. Think money
Money or at least planning for money will be an important factor in choosing your course timing and place. You need money to travel and take up your yoga course. You will need to create funds for helping you sail through when you come back and work towards making a career in yoga. You also may not be able to join back at your original place of work as they may have hired a replacement due to your prolonged absence from work. The minimum requisite for teacher training, RYT 200 takes up a month or more to complete. Plan your financials so that you can cover up for loss of income from the time you start travel for your course.
3. Get Support
As mentioned above, this is not a small decision and it’s not a holiday that you are planning. The only difference being that this is not a standard career choice and it’s not a cake walk; it is important to include your family and or friends in this decision. The course demands endurance and setting up yoga teaching practice is not simple. Support from friends and family - emotionally, physically and financially - is really appreciated during those testing times.
4. Prepare yourself
It is not an occult holiday, it is serious business. Yoga practice is not easy both physically and mentally. You will also have to confront some shocking truths about your body. t may no longer be as fit and nimble as you had always assumed it to be. Also, some asanas may be effortless for others but may take your breath away (literally). But best part about doing yoga is that it’s not a competition sport, you can learn slowly and reach the pinnacle when you are a ready both mentally and physically.
5. Avoid debt
Pursuing yoga training by taking loans may not be a great idea as it may become a continuous stress factor for you, even during the course. You may feel stressed by debt, which may interfere with your learning as well as with setting up your practice.
6. Be sure about your practice
It’s not the students who learn yoga that become great teachers. It’s the yogis, who worship their yoga practice that become great teachers. If you need a class room ritual to make you do yoga then becoming a teacher is not for you. Also, many yogis, continue to develop their practice by experimenting with other styles, meditation and in many cases Ayurveda too. You should be innately focused on incrementally improving your practice.
Whether you do yoga teacher training in Goa or in Dharamshala or in any part of the world for that matter, it’s imperative to pay heed to the above points before enrolling yourself for the course.
