Yoga Teacher Certification for the Rich and Famous
Paul M. Jerard Jr.
Do you think the high cost of becoming a Yoga Teacher is too far
out of reach? Will you have to sacrifice your family's life
savings to become a Yoga instructor? How will you be able to
justify the time off from work needed to gain your Yoga
certification?
There are cost-effective, and less expensive solutions, to learn
to teach Yoga by becoming a certified Yoga instructor, without
the cost of an "arm and a leg."
Recently, I was talking to an intern from an outside Yoga
Teacher Training program, which had paid nearly $10,000.00 for
on-site training, on an exclusive tropical island. He was upset,
since he had borrowed tuition costs from his parents, and
possibly sacrificed his job, in order to become a certified
Hatha Yoga Teacher.
He visited my web site for a Yoga teacher correspondence course
and discovered my course was a fraction of the cost he and his
family paid. He asked me how this is possible. I explained that
we do not need to feed, house, or supply hundreds of Yoga
interns. On top of that, there are no transportation costs to be
concerned with, when using a Yoga home study course. The only
cost is for materials, tutoring, and Yoga teacher certification.
Further, I explained that to be trained in a face-to-face
setting, by a Master Yoga Teacher, is more expensive due to the
"hands on" time spent with his teacher. After all, we have an
onsite Yoga Teacher program that is more expensive than our
correspondence course.
Time spent learning Yoga from a Master Teacher, or a Guru, is a
valuable service. Our course is designed for an experienced Yoga
practitioner who doesn't need as much hands on help or who has a
local Yoga teacher for guidance.
He continued the conversation to ask me about technical support,
and I explained that we handle it by Email, over the phone, and
some interns stop by for our Yoga teacher workshops. We have had
Yoga teacher trainees visit us from California and Great Britain
to attend a workshop. By the sound of his voice, he seemed
depressed, and I asked him, "What is wrong?"
He told me that he hadn't been taught anything about the
marketing involved in the Yoga business or about business in
general. He felt it would take a long time to pay his parents
back and didn't know if his job would still be available to him
when he gets back home.
Then, I explained that we have Yoga marketing and business tools
in our standard course and as a separate course for experienced
Yoga teachers. I invited him to come to a Yoga marketing
workshop when he gets back to the States, and, we both, made a
new friend.
We all feel a "calling" to do work that gives us satisfaction.
It helps to have a passion about our work and to know that you
are helping others along the way. This is one of the many
benefits of teaching Yoga, but I advise you to research the cost
of Yoga instructor education, and to be careful not to put
yourself too far in debt. Otherwise, your passion for Yoga could
turn into a financial worry - well into the future. This would
make it difficult to teach the benefits of Yoga to your
students, while you are stressed out over your bills.
