What qualifications do you need to be a yoga teacher?
To become a yoga teacher, you should have at least 2 years of regular yoga practice before starting teacher training. With YogaPros, the minimum qualification needed to teach yoga is a 200-hour teacher training course (not on-demand).
Why This Matters
Teacher training is designed to help you learn how to teach, not to build your personal practice from the beginning. Having a solid foundation in yoga before you train helps you keep up with the course and get more value from it.
What This Means for You
