Jason Crandell teaching a yoga teacher training

Wondering what to look for in a yoga teacher training? We lay it out for you on this episode, focusing on the 8 elements we think are essential. 

We talk through the importance of adapting asana to modern knowledge and safety standards, the significance of understanding yoga anatomy in a functional context, and prioritizing strength and stability in practice. We also touch on the need for a thorough understanding of yoga philosophy, and some of the foundational texts to look for on the syllabus.

More highlights from the interview:

  • Sequencing is a critical aspect of teacher training. In a 200-hour YTT, learning a few set sequences can be incredibly helpful.
  • Immersive and repetitive practice teaching is essential for building confidence as a yoga teacher. Jason shares how he structures it and the advantages of practice teaching on Zoom.
  • YTTs that offer specialized training in a specific area of yoga are a plus! These skills can enhance a teacher’s expertise and marketability.
  • A lead trainer who is stable, compassionate, and mentally/emotionally composed will help you navigate personal growth during your yoga journey.
