How long does it take to become a yoga instructor?

Yoga (YOGA) originated in ancient India and has now become a popular fitness exercise around the world. Yoga advocates "harmony","meditation" and "self-cultivation" and is very popular among urban people. In India, yoga is a practice that practitioners usually practice throughout their lives. There are more than 8,000 sets of movements and more than 86,000 asanas. However, in China, yoga is only used as a fitness exercise and a fashionable profession. It does not require practitioners to regard it as a practice, nor does it require all yoga instructors to have the level of a yoga saint to teach, but more attention is paid to the ability to actually teach.

So how long does it take to become a yoga instructor? At present, there are many institutions for training yoga instructors in China, which are mixed with good ones, especially in terms of course settings and training time. Most domestic yoga instructors are divided into junior, intermediate and advanced levels. Courses vary from thirty to ninety days, making it impossible for many people who want to pursue a career as yoga instructors to choose.

In this regard, the reporter conducted a series of surveys on some yoga instructor training institutions in Beijing. It turned out that yoga instructor training institutions in Beijing all adopt a 30-day semester, while some training in other places takes 90 days. In this regard, a staff member of a coach training institution in Beijing said that thirty days is enough for a yoga enthusiast without foundation to fully master the yoga course system. So will the knowledge learned in one month be reduced compared to three months? In this regard, we consulted a lot of materials and made a detailed comparison: full-day teaching is carried out for thirty days, and all students are immersed in a yoga environment to study. This is like learning a foreign language abroad. Generally, the acceptance of new knowledge is rapid and comprehensive. With the 180 sets of body positions learned from primary to advanced levels, plus six variants in each group, after graduation, students can master more than a thousand sets of body positions, which is only a lot more than the 90-day courses in other institutions. Enough for future application in teaching. As for the problem that some people are worried about not being able to learn, because most of the people working as yoga instructors are women around the age of 30, who can accept it quickly, and under the guidance of professional teachers, master the correct training methods, they can all complete the positions taught. However, everyone's physical fitness and understanding ability are different, so professional training institutions all adopt a circular teaching method, which means that students who have not learned well in one session can learn again for free in the next session. It is more scientific and effective than ninety days of rigid teaching. Students can arrange their time reasonably based on their own academic level. Eliminate unnecessary waste of time. Efficiency is particularly important in today's rapidly developing society. It would be most reasonable to step into the yoga industry first and spend another two months practicing teaching. Because yoga requires practice to continuously accumulate experience. Even if a coach has mastered thousands of poses himself, he can only become a performer if he cannot provide professional guidance to the practitioners.

What is the difference between 90 days and 30 days of training? In this regard, the reporter interviewed students who had participated in 90 days of yoga training. Ms. Zhang, who is now studying in Beijing, said that she originally thought that the 90-day course must learn more than the 30-day course, so she chose the one that lasted longer. After studying for a month, I realized that apart from practicing basic skills and some basic postures every day, I still knew nothing else. I couldn't reach the level where I could teach independently. Later, I came to Beijing to receive a 30-day training course. In just ten days of elementary courses, she felt that she had benefited a lot. She had mastered a lot of yoga culture, theory, health knowledge, and also learned course layout, guidance and member communication skills. Compared with ninety days of training, she could confidently face the career of a yoga instructor in the future.

There is an old saying in China that "slow work leads to detailed work." But why is it that thirty days are more effective in training yoga instructors?

Therefore, the reporter summarized the obvious differences between the two. First of all, the 30-day training course is arranged very scientific and reasonable, with relaxation and relaxation. Students will not blindly do stretching exercises that exceed their physical limits, but will teach students in accordance with their own conditions, which will be more conducive to students opening up their own potential. At the same time, teaching content such as practical lectures and how to arrange membership classes are also arranged so that students can be more independently qualified as yoga instructors in the future; secondly, the 90-day period is long and boring, but only lengthens the class hours. The 30-day course uses the most efficient time to mobilize students 'enthusiasm and enthusiasm for learning, and allows students to make great progress in both physical and theoretical aspects in the short term; Third, on the surface, it is cheaper to spread the cost of three months to each month, but with such a long period of daily consumption, the overall cost has not been reduced. I would like to ask, why take 90 days for a course that can be completed in 30 days? A waste of precious time. Fourth, becoming a yoga instructor does not mean cultivating and becoming a yoga saint. In China, the purpose of most people practicing yoga is to cultivate their own character, rather than to become a yoga monk. Therefore, it does not take many years of cultivation to become a yoga instructor. The key is the practicality of the courses you learn and the practical experience during the work process. This is the reason why the so-called "master leads the door, and practice is the individual."

Finally, the staff of the training institution in Beijing also said that the 30-day study time was unanimously recognized by them after exchanges and discussions with senior practitioners in Beijing, the Indian Yoga Institute, and international yoga authorities. Everyone said that in 30 days in China, they can fully master what they have learned and engage in a yoga instructor career. At the same time, it also calls on other coach training units to teach more practical and useful courses, pay attention to practice, and not waste the precious time of yoga enthusiasts. At the same time, it is recommended that friends who want to pursue a career as yoga instructors cherish their time and become an excellent and qualified yoga instructor as soon as possible after learning useful skills as soon as possible!
