The importance of knowing why you’re
doing a YTT: to deepen your own
practice or to launch a new career?
By Charlotta Martinus
I
n 1998, when I started yoga, the only yoga classes around
were run by passionate yogis, some trained, others simply
students who had been drawn to share their knowledge and
practice. The only money you earnt was from whatever was
left over after paying for the village hall. Many teachers had
other full time or part time work and yoga was more of a community
service than a career.
But then yoga became more accessible, cool and fashionable.
Today, yoga is a business that grows by approximately 26% per
year, according to some estimates. I sometimes get applications
from students who have no prior experience of yoga or who might
be practicing gym instructors, personal trainers, zumba or pilates
teachers and who would like to extend their portfolio to include
yoga. This is a new phenomenon.
On the other hand, you have the students to whom yoga has
changed their life. Yoga has become their therapy and they want
to share this wonderful practice with their friends and colleagues.
Often, in this case, the worry is that the sacred joy found on the
mat will be sullied by the financial and practical considerations of
effectively starting a new business. I think for many this is a real
consideration: something you used to enjoy as special ‘me-time’
is now something you must do to pay the rent and get by. It is not
uncommon to hear fellow yoga teachers complain that they do not
have time for their own practice. Something inside of me breaks
when I hear this.
It was clearly stated again and again during my YTT in 2003 that
yoga is not a business; it was never designed to be a business, but
a wisdom. Yoga was freely given when the time was right, just as a
mother imparts wisdom to her child. In turn, yoga was meant to be
offered as a technology for living; to enhance our awareness and
create a better world.
However, the currency we deal in today is money, so it is
inevitable that yoga also falls into the category of business.
Personally, I keep the spirit of yoga going through community
classes, bursaries and so on.
In summary, the students who go on to become teachers and gain
the most notoriety and success are those who have a deep practice
of their own which feeds their soul. Energetically, the connection
to the yoga in all its facets is almost tangible to their students.
Personally, I have found the most inspiring teachers to be altruistic.
Money comes, because we show our value and gratitude in this way
today, but these teachers would continue to teach whether they
were paid or not. Ask yourself: would you? If the answer is yes, then
you will always enjoy teaching yoga and you will know when to take
a break or quit to feed your own practice.
