How proficient in yoga do you have to be to do the program?
The Yoga Works Teacher Training programs include a vigorous two-hour asana practice. We strongly recommend that applicants have one year of consistent asana practice and are relatively comfortable practicing urdhva dhanurasana. If you are new to yoga, this would not be an appropriate program to participate in. You will not benefit from learning yoga basics while simultaneously learning how to teach. That being said, you If you have a regular yoga practice, you may be more ready than you think. We are looking for our trainees with a solid foundation in the basic and fundamental yoga postures. To be accepted into the majority of our training programs, you will need to get a signature of approval from an approved teacher. This teacher will observe your practice and watch to see that you understand the basics and have the ability to hear and respond to instructions. An advanced practitioner is not a person who can move deep into advanced postures. An advanced practitioner is someone who comes to the mat with a level of maturity, a willingness to learn and an understanding of the limits of their own body. Keep in mind this program is not only for aspiring teachers, but people who want to deepen their practice.
