Becoming a Yoga Instructor

Image
An incredible experience  In order to become a certified Yoga Instructor through Yoga Bharati , you have to: Attend eight hours of instruction per week for twelve weeks (That's 96 hours) Go on a yoga retreat for 2 days and one night (Camping in the woods) Teach a class for 30 hours over the course of 4 months Write a 25-page report Seems daunting at first, but little by little I accomplished all of it. 1. Attending the instruction was so difficult at first. I had to wake up at 6:30am every weekend! But soon, I got to know my classmates and I began to like the lessons. Some parts were pretty interesting. 2. The yoga retreat was by far my favorite part. Though I usually don't like camping, I'm really glad that I got to have this wonderful experience. I also got to see some pretty cool wildlife. 3. Teaching a class was a period of transformation for me. As a student, I see teachers everyday, but only after this, do I really appreciate what they do....
