What to Look for in a Yoga Teacher Training (Part 2)
Previously, we talked about the importance of finding a teacher who makes it about you—someone who holds space for your growth without letting their own ambitions take center stage.
Now, let’s explore another essential element of a meaningful yoga teacher training:
Find a Training That Celebrates Individuality
Not all teacher training programs are created equal. Some follow a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach, treating every student and every body as though they’re the same. But yoga is an incredibly personal practice—one that meets you where you are.
Cookie-cutter programs often miss this nuance, leaving little room for your unique body, mind, or spirit to thrive. What’s the alternative? Seek out a program with a method that not only teaches foundational principles but also allows space for you to integrate and express them in a way that feels true to you.
At Circle Yoga Shala, we designed our Yoga Teacher Trainings to do just that.
Honor Diversity in Practice
Every student who walks into our training is different. You bring your own story, experiences, body, and aspirations. Our approach doesn’t ignore that—it celebrates it.
While we share universal principles of alignment, anatomy, and philosophy, we also teach you how to adapt and apply those principles in ways that make sense for your practice and for the people you may teach.
Our training doesn’t mold you into a carbon copy of someone else. Instead, we guide you toward discovering your voice, your teaching style, and the wisdom that already resides within you.
Why This Matters for Your Growth
At Circle Yoga Shala, we’re not interested in creating clones of our teaching team. We want to help you discover who you are as a practitioner and teacher.
By the end of your training, you won’t just walk away with a diploma—you’ll leave with confidence in your ability to teach in a way that feels real and resonant.
If this sounds like the kind of training you’ve been searching for, we’d love to hear from you. If you’re curious about our upcoming 200-hour or 300-hour training, or if you’d like to talk more about what you’re looking for, contact us.
