The best online yoga teacher training right now
Having some extra time on your hands? Did you know online yoga teacher training courses were a thing? That’s right, Yoga Alliance recently approved fully remotely-obtained YTTs as accepted for registration with them (which is a prerequisite to be able to teach in the first place). Since it’s a relatively new business, the prices are still super low when compared to other YTTs and an amazing opportunity for yogis on a budget.
Yoga schools have been working relentlessly at finding solutions out there to bring you the best online yoga teacher training courses right in the comfort of your home. And there’s a great selection and quality already. These are all taught by experienced certified teachers from all over the world via video conference. If you’d like to compliment those with some readings, check out my favorite books about yoga.
Keep in mind that those affordable online yoga teacher training courses are taught in the timezones of the instructors, so make sure you pick an online yoga teacher training in a timezone close to yours unless you’re a night’s own!
