For more information www.shantaya.org FOR BUDDING TEACHERS READY TO BE A YOGA TEACHER? Some basic questions BY BARBIE FU “I have been practicing consistently for one year but still cannot do advanced postures. Can I still pursue the teacher training course?” One of my students asked lately. In fact, every regular practitioner can take teacher training course. Most courses are not limited to aspiring yoga teachers; they are indeed open to everyone who is interested in learning about the fascinating history, origin, and philosophy of Yoga. The point is, we need to clarify what’s our aim going forwards.

Or do you want to achieve a goal in life? If your answer is the latter, go ahead. It is a very good opportunity to step further in yoga and you will find what you have learned is just tip of the iceberg. If your answer is the former, then you need to know some facts about being a yoga teacher. IS IT EASY TO GET A JOB AFTER THE COURSE? Getting a teacher training certificate is important, but it’s experience that counts. You will need to teach as many hours as you can, at the same time, you are learning how to teach. So, ditch the idea of getting a job offer after finishing your teacher training! Search around the community for any opportunity to teach, even if it is a voluntary class. THEN HOW WILL I PRACTICE TEACHING? Students look for good teachers. There are numerous teachers in town already, which is not beneficial for newbies. To gain teaching experience, try to volunteer yourself to your neighborhood, friends or family, they may be your first students. Once again, it’s not as easy as you think it is. CAN I BE A FULL TIME YOGA TEACHER? As I mentioned before, there are many good teachers out there and competition is strong. It usually takes a few years to build your confidence. Teaching yoga isn’t about making big money, so it’s better to have a full-time job as back up. HOW SHOULD I CHOOSE THE TEACHER TRAINING COURSE? Research courses out there and narrow your choices from there. Go through the course details and look into the course philosophies and practice. It is helpful to have comments, feedback or testimonials from previous graduates of the course. OTHER THAN TEACHER TRAINING COURSES, ARE THERE ANY ALTERNATIVES TO GO DEEPER INTO YOGA? Why not try workshops or yoga retreats on a variety of topics before a teacher training? There are many at different locations around the world. Enjoy learning about yoga instead of thinking about the job, it’s more fun! October 2015 11
