Whether you are a seasoned Yoga instructor, who needs to update your certification, or you are just beginning your Yoga training to become an instructor, there are many advantages to online Yoga teacher training.
One of the biggest advantages of taking Yoga classes online is the cost. The base price of on-site Yoga teacher training can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on which institution is offering the training. The average cost for online training is often less than $1,000.
The cost of in person instruction also includes hidden costs that must be added to the tuition cost of the training course. Hidden costs would include the cost for tutoring, study materials, membership, application, enrollment fees, and other hidden fees that the institution may choose to include. You do not have these additional hidden costs with online Yoga training.
If you choose online training, you will not have the additional expenses of time away from work or traveling to and from class. Online Yoga teacher courses allow you to study and train from the comfort of your own home.
You don’t need to worry about lodging and traveling expenses as you would with on-site training. Also, if you have family obligations, by taking online classes, you will still be able to care for your family. If you were away, you may have to plan and pay for childcare.
By taking online Yoga instructor certification courses, you will have access to tutoring at your convenience via telephone or email. When you are taking face-to-face courses, you would most likely have to schedule a tutoring session. If you’re taking online courses, tutoring is available to you at any given time. This is convenient because you don’t have to interrupt your schedule for a tutoring schedule.
Online Yoga instructor training offers flexibility. Your time is valuable when you have obligations. Most people cannot drop everything in their lives to take a year to attend Yoga instructor certification courses. Online courses offer you the flexibility that you need to maintain your busy lifestyle while still getting the instruction you need to achieve your goals.
With classroom study, your instructor may prohibit you from using a recording device. However, with online training you are allowed to use any record-keeping device you choose. By taking online Yoga instructor courses, you are helping the environment. This is because you are not traveling to class, causing more air pollution and using up natural resources.
