| Hello,
I am doing some research on yoga and yoga instructors. I work for a film company in Cape Town and we are doing a Danone commercial which requires us to find a good yoga instructor and an ethnically diverse range of ages of people doing yoga.
If you can help me or know someone who can, I would really appreciate your help.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,

| Wow I just don't know where to begin with this post. Yikes on so many fronts.
Let me see if I can deal with this conglomeration.
Marinella you first.
Yep there are some folks turning out certified yoga teachers by the thousands. Ranking in the millions, and I'm not sure what they are actually teaching. How to avoid this is another issue though.
I personally look at a couple of things. One, the lineage of the instructors. That is who are they and who would be my teachers teacher. While lineage may not be necessary to land on a good teacher it is one component I'd begin looking at.
Second, what is the curicuulm offered by the program? Does it include enough asana, anatomy, philosophy. How many contact hours are offered int he program. Who is doing the instructing? If the school guarantees you a certificateafter completeing your time then I'd wonder. I always like the schools that say "completion of the program does not guarantee certification". You shoul dactually have to demonstrate that you can teach at the end of your program and your cert should depend on it.
Third, take some classes. My god please take some classes at the place where you're considering training. At leat a workshop or two witht he head honcho. Look around. Who are your peers? What sort of support do you feel? The work to find the right school for you is done ultimately in the heart, not in the head. Ah but you must have the information first.
Obviously everyone feels strongly about THEIR teacher. So everyone will tell you to study with so-and-so. You have to connect with this person. When you find someone who's light, goldne, you will know it.
Now to Ronelle - It appears you are legit and perhaps employed by McKenzie Rudolphe which is a film house. Okay. Fine. PLease in the future start your own thread.
If you're doing a project and want to find a teacher that's fine. But this person posted for a reply to their question about teacher trainings and your thingy is in the way!. Basically I'm telling you "ooops".
There are many wonderful teachers on this board and one might be anxious to make a commercial for yoghurt. But who knows. Most commercials involving yoga are grossly inaccurate and I suspect there's no real yoga person on site to consult. And frankly, even if there was, I suspect in the interest of pleasing a client and swaying a public accuracy isn't a priority.
And to Deepsubodh posting an obnoxiously long resume...I think INSIDE the thread of a post is not an appropriate place to post ones 400 word resume. I understand the mission, "get work as a yoga teacher" but perhaps a personal message or PM next time directly to the solicitor would be more appropriate. In this case the person posted a phone number. You want the job then make the phone call brother.

Ranking of Schools and Teachers! More important is ranking of yourself as a teacher trainee. You must be a good teacher trainee to make use of any training that is available.
a) First you have to know what you want to become as a Yoga Teacher.
b) What you are willing to become and stay a teacher.
c) Why you want to become a Yoga Teacher.
ETC. |

Lo
I apologize in advance for any unintended offense. Also, I could have kept quiet, but in this case I am helpless. In my honest opinion, this Research is useless and waste of time. Nothing constructive shall come out of it. But, I shall be very open to know the progress of it with time, on this forum. |

| Dear Marinella and Ronelle,
Marinella:
You don't mention where you are from or what style of Yoga you practise.
If you are already practising with a teacher and in a style you are comfortable with, you may want to ask their advice. If not, I advise finding a style you are comfortable with and practise regularly with your teacher for at least three years (minimum) before considering teaching. This is only my opinion and some Yoga federations or Yoga.com forum members may argue that three years experience is too much or too little. The Yoga Alliance (there are European and American versions) offer guidelines for 200 and 500 hour certifications. Though again, in my opinion this should be the minimum requirement to start teaching.
There may also be a 'Governing Body' for Yoga in your country. These sometimes tend to be quite controversial (like the BWY in the U.K) but may also offer you good advice.
Ronelle:
I practise Iyengar and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. I have included a link for the Iyengar Association of South Africa:
http://www.bksiyengar.co.za
This particular style caters for a diverse level of students, from the young or old, super fit and flexible or stiff and injured.
Ashtanga Yoga is a little more dynamic, though I don't know of any 'certified' instructors in S.A.
I hope this helps you.
Jonathon
