In addition, Yoga Ed. provides its graduates the informational and marketing materials and support they need to successfully solicit Yoga Ed. programs to schools. We also provide an extensive membership network on this website, including national job listings that connect educator’s interested in Yoga Ed. with graduates in their locale.
If I don’t have yoga teacher certification, what is considered an equivalent?
To successfully complete our Instructor Training it is critical to have four skills:
1. Understanding of alignment in all poses;
2. Ability to clearly instruct and safely make verbal corrections;
3. Knowledge of hands-on adjustments;
4. Some experience teaching or student teaching children.
In many cases, physical education teachers and dance instructors with yoga experience will meet these requirements. Also, we understand that there are a number of different yoga teacher trainings and certifications with varying lengths and titles. We are more concerned that a prospective registrant be able to meet the criteria outlined above than with the type of training or certification you may have completed.
What is the difference between a Yoga Ed. Instructor and a Yoga Ed. Trainer?
A YE Instructor has completed the YE Instructor Training and may teach:
- K-8 Curriculum to students as PE or after-school, in studios and community centers, etc.
- Tools for Teachers Program to classroom teachers
A YE Trainer has completed the YE Trainer Program and may be hired on a contractual basis to:
- Present YE to School Districts and other educational or health related organizations
- Teach YE Teacher Trainings
- Teach YE Curriculum to PE teachers
Does Yoga Ed. provide a certification?
Yoga Ed. provides its graduates with a Instructor Training diploma. This is essentially the same as what other programs would call a certification. We use the language of “diploma” in lieu of “certification” because we are offering only the Instructor Training component and not the many hours of service associated with receiving a “certification.”
Where can I find a good yoga Instructor Training program?
There are a number of teacher trainings across the country. To find a training or certification near you, we suggest checking out the Instructor Training Directory at www.yogadirectory.com
