Traditionally, yoga has been taught as apprenticeships passed from teacher to student through the generations. Today, many yoga teacher training programs are available for interested participants at any level. These formal programs offer students the confidence of experience in the science of movement and the philosophies of yoga.
All YTAA recognised yoga teacher training courses meet the YTAA requirements of length, contact and content hours, curriculum areas, and mentoring where required. The head of each recognised training school is a senior level YTAA member.
