Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Cost?
If you have decided to expand your yogic knowledge with a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training, you are surely wondering about cost. Depending on your own life circumstances, and your commitment to becoming a more educated and centered teacher, you can find Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training programs to suit almost any budget.
So What Does a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Cost? Following are some considerations when choosing a Vinaysa Yoga Teacher Training to most closely fit your budget.
- It will depend on the center and the length of the intensive or workshop.
- There are weekend only intensives that count toward future credits recognizable by the Yoga Alliance, or you can go as you like just to uplift your own practice and teaching. A great teacher spends many hundreds of hours perfecting their own practice and learning how to teach others.
- You can sometimes lesson overall costs by offering to volunteer during a workshop or teacher training – making copies, serving food, cleaning up after others, mopping out a yoga hall, etc. Inquire with the studios or ashrams you are interested in learning from and see if they offer seva or service as a part of whole form of payment.
- If you stay closer to home, you can often find program that allow half of the payment upfront and the rest part-way through training. This means that if the training is spread out over several months, then you have time to work towards paying off the balance. For centers that charge upwards of $1000 for a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training, you will want to consider this option if your budget is tight.
- If money is no object, you can find amazing Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Trainings that cost anywhere from $3900 to almost $12000, but these are all inclusive, resort like trainings, many with famous teachers and include 5-star accommodations, all your training materials, books, free eco-friendly yoga mats, daily massages, herbal tea, gourmet vegetarian food, and often private classes with the teacher hosting the event. If you really want to come away feeling like a brand new person and you can afford it, this is much better than months of psychotherapy.
What Does a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Cost? You can expect to pay anywhere from $200 US for a brief weekend training to several thousand dollars if you travel abroad and stay in a resort type setting. If you truly love yoga, though, and really want to either deepen your own wisdom of this ancient practice, or feel more qualified to share it with others, start with what you can afford now. You will feel the seeds of your effort and open heart and mind flourish through the endeavor. AS Rodney Yee tells us, you can pretty much do yoga with little or nothing, “the most important pieces of equipment you need for doing yoga is your body and your mind.” Don’t let cost affect your practice. If you must, start in your living room with a DVD and start saving those pennies for a teacher training. Where there is a clear mind and flexible body, there is a way.
