Before you sign up to anything: what training to be a yoga teacher really involves, how to spot a course that’s properly accredited, and how to start the right way.
A 200-hour certificate is the floor, not the finish. What matters is who teaches it and whether it counts.
The best foundation courses are led by a Senior Yoga Teacher with years and thousands of hours behind them — not a recent graduate teaching the next cohort.
Contact hours should be live and in the room, never pre-recorded. If a course can’t tell you how many live hours you’ll get, that’s your answer.
An accredited course means your qualification is recognised, your hours count, and you can be insured and verified the day you graduate.
There’s no sign-up here and nothing to pay. When you’re ready, these are the next steps — in order.
Browse courses accredited by YogaPros, so you know the hours are real and the qualification is recognised before you pay a deposit.
Once you’re on a course you become a trainee — and trainee insurance is £25 for the whole of your training, so you can practise-teach with cover.
Read the standards a YogaPros teacher is held to, and choose a course that already trains to them.
Read what good training looks like, then choose a course when you’re ready — not before.
