There are 2 angles to this question – one is what we can do to professionally go forward in this career and the other is how to become an authentic teacher who is able to understand the student’s needs and provide solutions accordingly. Both the qualities are different and a successful teacher must have both of these qualities to develop hand in hand.
Before thinking of becoming a teacher one must be a good practitioner of Yoga. You must have at least six months to one year of regular practice before you think of becoming a teacher. Only a disciplined practitioner can become a good teacher.
There is no age criteria. I have seen people becoming a Yoga Teacher and teaching classes from the age of 16 years to 80 years. Many institutes do not have any age criteria for their Yoga Teacher Training Courses.
Education wise also there are no hard criteria as such but you should definitely be able to read and write and understand a language. It can be English or Hindi or even regional language.
Medically a person should be fit and fine. The person should not have any major health issues or any regular medication routine. No recent surgery or any spinal issue should be there. If a person has such issues he should get rid of these things with the help of yoga and then plan for becoming a teacher.
Once you fulfil the prerequisites of becoming a Yoga Teacher. Then you should finalise on what type of course you want to do. There are three kinds of courses available in the market today. And the comparison is given below.
Now is the time to shortlist an institute for yourself. That institute should be authentic and should have a history of giving good students to the society. To validate this you can use the following checkpoints.
After you validate the institute and finalise. Enquire about their next course and enrol for one.
Two certifications in Yoga are considered to be the best. You should aim for these while deciding on a course for yourself.
YCB stands for Yoga Certification Board and it is set up by the Ministry of AYUSH, Govt of India. It conducts examinations for various levels of Yoga Certification. It is extremely authentic and recognized worldwide.
It is an international-level organization that provides certification to Yoga teachers and Yoga Schools. It is a very popular body and is worldwide recognized, especially in the US and Canada.
The main journey of becoming a teacher starts after you are done with your course. Now is the time when you have to deliver what you have learned and also take care of the student’s capacity.
The key is “start teaching.” Whatever the situation, whatever the arrangement, you need to start teaching. You can start with your family or friends or society or relatives, etc. You can also start for free. The more you teach, the more you will learn. More teaching means more learning. Slowly, with your consistency and sincerity, your group will grow, and you will have a big batch. You can also increase the number of batches as you are available.
Look for job opportunities on various online job portals too. Keep teaching, keep learning, and keep practicing. If any of this stops, your growth will stop. Teach with good intentions and take a Sankalpa of stress and disease-free society.
Change your entire life into an energetic and healthier one.

Thanks I recently attended a facial yoga session, and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The instructor was knowledgeable and took the time to explain each move, making sure everyone understood how to perform the exercises correctly. I was surprised by how relaxing and refreshing the session was. It not only helped to relieve tension in my face but also gave me a sense of calm and relaxation I didn’t expect. The techniques were easy to follow, and I noticed a visible difference in how my face looked—smoother and more toned. The session was well-paced, and I loved how I was able to unwind while learning something new. I truly felt the benefits both during and after the class, and I can't wait to continue practicing these exercises at home. If you’re looking for a unique way to relax and rejuvenate, I highly recommend giving facial yoga a try!
