Yoga Teacher Training: The Foundation Course
Delivered by Sunil, Senior Yoga Teacher at the The Traditional Yoga Association there are 2 courses that form your instruction as a yoga teacher. The first is The foundation Course, this is a 50 hour course or 6-8 sessions where you will learn the fundamentals of yoga. You must complete this course to undergo your formal instruction as a yoga teacher. You can also just do this course as a means for developing your knowledge of yoga and not undergo the teacher training.
The second part is the course proper. This is a comprehensive programme and a much longer commitment. In addition to the course there is much more contact between student-teachers and the course tutor. This is a 300+ hour course and takes approximately 2 to 2.5 years, although, you can be insured to start teaching yoga 6 months into this course. The final certification graduates you from trainee teacher to full teacher.
