This may actually be a stupid question
Are Yoga Teacher Certifications style specific or are they just General Certifications in “Yoga”?
I’m not pursuing a certification but from what I have seen there does not seem to be a specific style requirement so you could train
Style-specific. When I spend 2,000 hours of training I am a “certified purna yoga teacher”. My first training, which sadly was less than 40 hours provided a “level I teaching certificate” in that particular style of practice.
Yoga Alliance doesn’t indicate a style for a 22 or 500 or an E-RYT but they do have one’s style info appended to their registry in their database.
It would be a bit easier to answer properly if there was a context for the asking.
I am mostly curious and I did say it may be a stupid question :-D.
And your answer was fine, and after reading it I now realize I was mostly referring to what I have come across of late from Yoga Alliance.
In retrospect I do realize there are style specific certifications since a good friend of mine is certified in Integral, and I know Iyengar certifies Iyenger and I believe Krapalu does Kripalu certs as well… So basixally I had a well duh moment there, that or my brain skipped.
So it appears my question is more towards Yoga Alliance and their Cert and my gut is telling me to pursue this with more questions may cause issues and I do not want to cause an issue about a specific cert that frankly I know little about so I will refrain from asking anything further. I shall just do more research on my own
Thank You
