We all love yoga, that’s why we’re here! But
what if you start to like it a little bit more
than everyone else? What if you’re watching
your yoga instructor at the front of the
class every week and thinking: I want
your life!
You want to teach yoga to other people
like they do; you want to practice and to
read up on spirituality all day; and to wear
super cool hippie clothes and hang out with
chilled friends all day long, just like they appear to do...
Well, you’re in luck: welcome to OM’s annual guide to all things
yoga teacher training. We can’t promise that you’ll have the same
life as your very talented yoga instructor (nor those leggings they
wear, which you can’t locate anywhere on the internet!), but we
may be able to help you carve out your own new path, beaming
your yoga light to the rest of the world from an eco-friendly mat.
Inside this special OM report we’ve collected the views and
thoughts of the country’s top yoga instructors to help you along
the way. From making that decision to book onto a teacher

training, to picking the right course for you; what to expect on the
course and how you can prepare for it; even tips on how to make a
living once you’re newly-qualified.
Most former trainees would agree that yoga teaching training is
a defining moment in their lives. It marks a journey, a transition to
a more meaningful career, or even just a deepening of your own
practice. Life changing is a phrase that repeatedly crops up.
So be prepared and choose your course wisely as you
commence that wonderful adventure. It’s an exciting time and we
hope that we can help you to find the right path for you. Whatever
your motivations for teacher training (even if it’s just emulating that
charismatic teacher down the local gym!), it’s going to be one of
the most memorable times of your life. So, enjoy the ride, and soak
up the information inside this guide from some of the yoga world’s
brightest and wisest minds.
