Yoga Teacher Training: Online vs. Face-to-Face
If you have ambitions to be a yoga teacher, you have probably faced the same obstacle that many others do: time. Yoga teacher training requires a considerable investment in terms of time and taking weeks and/or months out of a regular schedule many simply not be feasible for you. If that sounds familiar then online yoga teacher training presents a viable alternative to the face-to-face course that doesn't offer much in terms of flexibility. But what are the benefits of online training and can you ever really get the same experience as face-to-face?
What is online teacher training?
This can take many different forms but, essentially, the class content is delivered via an online medium. This usually means that you can access it via a range of different devices, such as a smart phone or laptop, from wherever you are at the time. Many online teacher training courses use a range of different types of content to help support learning, from video through to live tutorials. Frequently, there is also some one-to-one support involved or community where you can ask questions and get motivated and inspired by others who are going through the same process.
The benefits of online vs. face-to-face
- Access any time anywhere. When you’re doing your yoga teacher training online, you’ll be able to access the content at the times and in the locations that work for you.
- Work around other life commitments. Unless you have zero responsibilities and all the time in the world (which few people do) it can be a struggle to fit yoga teacher training into your life, no matter how passionate you are. If you opt for an online course, you can fit this around other commitments, whether family or business.
- Online is a powerful way to communicate. The online world provides a very effective forum for learning today and, as a result, is an incredibly powerful way to communicate. You can acquire all the knowledge and understanding that you need to be a fantastic yoga teacher from a course taken online.
- Focus on what you love. Often, in a very structured face-to-face yoga teacher training course, you will find yourself carried along at the pace of the other students and may skip over parts of the training that particularly intrigue you. When you’re doing yoga teacher training online there is more time and flexibility to stop and delve deeper into what you find the most interesting. This may not only make you a better yoga teacher but a more knowledgeable one too.
Opting for online yoga teacher training has many benefits that often outweigh the appeal of learning in a face-to-face environment. From being able to adapt the training to your lifestyle, to focusing more on the elements that fuel your passion for yoga, online training has a lot of advantages that in person courses are simply not able to offer.
