What you need to know before start 200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh
The requirements to be enrolled in this 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training program Rishikesh at AYM YOGA SCHOOL:
AYM Yoga School provides a specialized 200 hour online yoga teacher training course designed for intermediate and beginner practitioners who want to become yoga instructors professionally. Participants who complete the 200 hours of the yoga course can register with the Yoga Alliance, USA, which can be a globally recognized yoga instructor certificate and designation. The RYT 200 certification has an international reputation for your expertise, experience, and education. It is easy to hire you because they can trust that your skills and knowledge conform to the standards set by the Alliance.
The basic requirements for a 200 hour RYT yoga training are to make your body flexible and prepared for the training, have a basic understanding of the physical anatomy, and be open-minded. Regarding flexibility for your yoga teacher training, you need at least an average level of flexibility to work with students who might not be as flexible as you are.
The applicant must have, at the minimum, an entire year's Yoga experience before applying to the in-person component of this teacher education program. There are exceptions for those who demonstrate an unwavering dedication to learning or who have a well-established physical and spiritual routine that aligns with the philosophy of yoga and its practice.
The basics of anatomy should include some knowledge about muscles and joints, including how these structures connect, so you can help students with alignment issues and better instruct them on what they should do when they cannot hold their pose.
What to expect in 200 hour yoga teacher training?
As a master trainer, I observed that students are very dedicated and come to Rishikesh worldwide to learn yoga but do not know what to expect from their program. Every student should remember why I am joining yoga teacher training and make it clear to the yoga training school so that student expectations are met. Usually, people think yoga is good for health. Let's join a yoga course, but which one suits you? What duration suits you? And which style of yoga classes? There are many such questions that you have to answer before you join yoga teacher training.
Which yoga course is suitable for you?
As a yoga teacher, I advise you first to join the 200 hour yoga teacher training program in Rishikesh. It's a foundation course that helps you understand basic concepts to teach, proper alignment and adjustment of postures, and prepare yourself to advance the level of yoga practice.
Many people have been doing yoga for the past 5 to 6 years and want to enroll in a 300-hour yoga teacher training program, but as a yoga mentor, I will advise you to join a 200 hour registered yoga instructor course.
Many people argue about why I should join 200-hour yoga teacher training?
First, If you wish to register with Yoga Alliance USA as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), you must complete the first 200 hour intensive yoga teacher training in Rishikesh. The 200 Hour yoga course is structured and includes every component of yoga training that yoga teachers or students need. With a 200-hour certification, you can register with Yoga Alliance, USA.

Many teacher training styles are trending in the world, like hatha yoga teacher training, ashtanga yoga teacher training, kundalini yoga teacher training, vinyasa yoga teacher training, yoga therapy training, multi-style yoga teacher training, Iyengar yoga, flow yoga, and many more. It is challenging to choose one with knowledge from a beginner. Select a yoga training course, Hatha and Ashtanga vinyasa yoga, along with pranayama, teaching methodology, yoga philosophy, and anatomy.
Hatha yoga teaches you the basics of classical asanas with alignment and develops flexibility. Ashtanga vinyasa teaches dynamic flow yoga to sweat, detoxify, and develop endurance. As per my experience, 200 hour hatha yoga teacher training in Rishikesh is the best option.
