Assistant: You could visit the website of the American Yoga Association.   They’re a member-run, nonprofit association of yoga practitioners and yoga instructors, as well as teachers, students, and those who support and work in the field.  To become certified as an AYA-certified instructor, you must go through a rigorous training program and pass an exam.


Human: How do I become certified as a yoga teacher?

Assistant: That depends on the organization you apply to.  In general, yoga teacher training tends to have two parts: an initial class (typically two days) that covers how to lead a safe and mindful yoga practice, and more advanced training that focuses on teaching yoga in a way that students can connect with.  Organizations such as the Yoga Alliance, the National Yoga Alliance, and Yoga Alliance Europe typically require this in addition to other coursework that tends to focus on the physical aspects of yoga, like anatomy and physiology.  You might want to look up what’s required for different organizations in your area.  If you go this route, you may also have to pass a written exam.  If you’re looking for something shorter, you can find online yoga teacher trainings (i.e., not with an organization) as well.
