Then took a 200H TTC in Yoga and Pranayama in India and a 100H TTC in Prenatal and Postnatal yoga in Spain. Additionally, I obtained certification as a Yin yoga teacher. Among my most profound influences were my experiences with Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore, India, Forrest yoga under the guidance of Ana Forrest (USA)."

FAQ
  • Student:
    Can I teach yoga with a 200-hour certification?
    Academy:
    Yes. Generally, a 200-hour certification is the worldwide accepted standard for teaching yoga.
  • Student:
    Do I need to register as RYT 200?
    Academy:
    It is not mandatory to register as RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance (or any other yoga teacher federation) for you to teach. You can teach just with a 200-hour certification. In some countries, however, registering as RYT 200 might increase your credibility if you are looking for a job.
  • Student:
    Are all 200-hour courses the same?
    Academy:
    Not at all; some 200-hour courses don’t cover even a fraction of other courses. While choosing a course, it is essential to examine the curriculum and research if the training suits your needs and expectations.
  • Student:
    Where course will take a place?
    Academy:
    Mandrem Beach, North Goa, India
