Prerequisites: "Am I Advanced Enough?"
One of the most common questions we hear from aspiring yoga teachers is: "Am I advanced enough to enroll in teacher training?"
Let us put your mind at ease right away: You do not need to be a "super yogi" to begin your teacher training journey.
It's Not About Perfect Poses
Many students imagine that teacher training is reserved for those who can effortlessly fold into the most challenging poses, hold handstands for minutes, or demonstrate every advanced variation in the book. The truth is far more welcoming than that.
Teacher training isn't about how deeply you can backbend or whether you've mastered every arm balance. It's about something much more meaningful: your relationship with yoga itself.
What We're Really Looking For
When you join our teacher training program, we're looking for three essential qualities:
Passion – Do you feel drawn to yoga? Does your practice bring you joy, peace, or insight? That enthusiasm is the foundation of great teaching.
Consistency – Have you maintained a regular practice? Showing up on your mat week after week, even when it's challenging, demonstrates the dedication that teaching requires.
Willingness to Learn – Are you open, curious, and ready to deepen your understanding? The best teachers remain eternal students.
If you answered yes to these qualities, you're ready.
You'll Grow Into Your Teaching
Here's a secret: teacher training is where the real transformation happens. You don't need to arrive as a finished product. In fact, some of the most inspiring teachers are those who remember their own struggles and limitations. They teach with empathy, meet students where they are, and create inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome.
Your journey, with all its challenges and breakthroughs, is exactly what will make you relatable and authentic as a teacher.
The Path Forward
Instead of asking "Am I advanced enough?" consider asking yourself:
Do I have a consistent yoga practice?
Am I passionate about sharing yoga with others?
Am I committed to deepening my knowledge and skills?
Am I willing to be vulnerable and grow?
If these resonate with you, then yes, you're ready to take the next step.
Your teaching journey doesn't require perfection. It requires presence, dedication, and an open heart. Everything else, we'll explore together.
