Why Everyone Should Take a Yoga Teacher Training
If you’ve been practicing yoga for a little while, you understand—Yoga is more than just a physical practice—it’s a way of life, a tool that you can utilize in every aspect of your day-to-day living. Because of this impact, we truly feel that everyone can benefit from a yoga teacher training, specifically through a 200-hour program like the one offered here at Razz Yoga.
What you will learn in a Yoga Teacher Training:
1. How to be a better yoga student.
Yes, we can all improve in how we learn. A teacher training will give you tools to know how to listen to your teachers and ultimately be a better, more in-tune yoga student.
2. A better understanding of your breath.
You know it’s vital, but in a yoga teacher training you’ll learn the nuances of your breath as well as how to take the breathwork practices you learn off the mat to help you live well, daily.
3. That your mind/body connection is vital for your well-being.
Through yoga teacher training you’ll learn more about the Western fundamentals of anatomy as well as the Eastern teachings including the koshas, chakras and nadis/vayus. All of this knowledge will help you have a better understanding of how your own body works and will provide you with tools to enhance your overall well-being. On a more fundamental level, you'll study anatomy and alignment, which helps you understand how different poses affect your muscles and joints. This knowledge is crucial for preventing injuries and ensuring a safe practice.
4. The importance of the history of yoga.
In our teacher training you’ll learn the history and philosophy of the practice, which will provide context for your own experience. In a yoga teacher training program, you'll study such ancient texts as the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, gaining insights into the spiritual and philosophical aspects of yoga. This knowledge not only enriches your practice but also provides a holistic understanding of how yoga can impact your life.
5. Gratitude for the practice of teaching.
Even if you don't plan to teach professionally, learning how to guide others deepens your own understanding. You'll gain confidence in public speaking, learn how to create balanced classes, and develop the ability to offer modifications and adjustments to suit individual needs.
6. Value of community.
Yoga teacher training programs are a great way to meet people who share your passion. You'll form strong bonds with fellow trainees as you go through this transformational experience together. The sense of community and support is invaluable and often lasts long after the training ends.
