By now you have probably listed a few of the benefits of yoga training. These may include becoming a yoga rockstar or maybe making some money by teaching yoga to others, but teacher training can provide you many other benefits that you may not have taken into consideration. Teacher training will be a different experience for everyone involved but some of the other benefits of teacher training that you should consider are:
- Deepening your practice by understanding poses more in depth. You will gain more for your regular yoga practice by discussing the purpose of the poses and learning modifications. While all teachers will need to master this foundation, this is great information for a student to know when growing their practice.
- Challenging yourself physically. Like training for a marathon, teacher training will be physically strenuous. You will practice daily and will have to develop the self-discipline to push through the moments of weakness and doubt. This challenge will strengthen you physically and mentally.
- Learning more about YOU. When you commit yourself to teacher training, you commit to a mental and physical journey that will be filled with highs and lows. You will learn what excites you and what scares you. You will be pushed to do things you never thought you could do before. Being in this environment and being a part of a supportive community will empower you and will teach you about all the great qualities that you already possess, and all the potential that lies ahead for you.
- Taking a break from daily life. You treat yourself every once in a while to a one hour class, but teacher training will require you to unplug and engage in a mentally and physically healthy activity on a regular basis. You will be required to be present and tune into the community around you to fully take in the experience. It will be a break from the hectic world that sometimes consumes us.
- Making friends. The yoga community is very welcoming as it is, but imagine being with a group of people all looking to improve their lives and deepen their practice! You will bond with the other students in the program, along with your instructors. These friendships will be long-lasting and fulfilling!
There is no doubt that teacher training will be an investment for you. It will be a financial investment as well as an investment in your time and attention. Your decision to take on teacher training should not be taken lightly, but you should take a moment to think about the many things that you will gain from a teacher training program and how those things can positivity impact your life.
Maybe you never want to teach a yoga class in your life, but you can still greatly benefit from the time you invest in yourself and your future. If you still have some doubts or questions, we want to hear them. Email us, we are here to chat with you.
