Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to go about getting a certification in yoga? I’m particularly keen on Bikram Yoga. Thanks!
Bikram certification can only be given through the Bikram school. If you are interested in Bikram, talk to the school where you attend, or to your Bikram teachers. They should be able to tell you whatexactly is expected of you before you can apply for training.
I presume you are asking about a teaching certification.
Teaching yoga is a wonderful thing to offer others and the world. However it only has integrity when it is preceded by a robust practice of yoga and a clarity and dedication in choosing the path of a teacher. The decision should be weighed very carefully.
Bear in mind that the skill set of a sound yoga practitioner is not identical to the skill set of a sound teacher. Make sure you are aware of the difference and are ready to embrace the transformations that come from cultivating the latter skill set.
Suggest you find the yoga practice that moves you toward your Self but without aggression or violence. Once you’ve done that and brought that practice into your daily living…absolutely move forward with becoming a yoga teacher.
Yes, good to keep these things in mind. Thanks for all your help guys! I’ll look into it more and seriously consider what I can offer before trying to get certified.
