The Best Online Yoga Schools

It's challenging to discern which online yoga school is the best, especially when there are so many online yoga schools to choose from. There are a few things to keep in mind when selecting an online yoga program. In this article, we're going to walk you through the things you want to look out for when you select an online yoga training course.

First, you are probably going to want to make sure they are Yoga Alliance certified. Yoga Alliance is an online registry for yoga teachers, and although it's not required, it is something that many studios look at, so having graduated from a school that is registered with Yoga Alliance is a plus. 

The next thing you want to make sure of is that the school you select also offers in-person training. Yoga teacher training is something that can be facilitated online, and it translates more thoroughly when it's live and in person. If you're wanting the flexibility of a self-paced program, make sure they also offer an in-person program, too. That will ensure that they will be able to meet your needs and provide you with the quality of education you'll want if you want to teach for a yoga studio. 

The next thing to check on is their reviews. You'll want to check multiple sources. Online reviews can be deceiving. You may want to look up the school's Yoga Alliance account and view their student reviews. These reviews are the most accurate because they are only left by actual students who have graduated and received a certificate from the school. 

Finally, check for private groups on Facebook to see what support they offer students. The better the school the more groups you'll see representing their student population on social media. 

Many of the online yoga teacher training providers explain how to become a yoga teacher online, and even provide job placement for new yoga teachers. Some of them partner with organizations that support new teachers in their professional growth and development. Yoga Specialists is fortunate to partner with My Vinyasa Practice, one of the leading online yoga teacher training providers and IAYT Yoga Therapy Certification providers who are currently providing online YTT and online yoga therapy training through 2023. 

There are so many options for students looking for online yoga teacher training in 2022. With so many affordable options, many students are taking multiple trainings rather than sticking to just one. Online yoga teacher training may prove to be one of the single most beneficial products ever introduced into the yoga market. It's providing students with portable training that helps them to deepen their practice and learn the history and foundations of yoga. Five years from now we may find ourselves with a truly robust and mature international yoga community as a result of online yoga curriculum.
