Top 7 Reasons to Choose Raj Yoga School

No purpose to teach? No need. A Yoga Teacher Training will engage you in the teachings and principles of this traditional practice.

Choosing teacher training can be a mind-numbing task, but the amount of consideration and research you put in can either make or break your training experience. We suggest that you start with a few main things like location, cost, time and Yoga Alliance approval to sift through the piles of trainings. But beyond these factors, you may want to get to know the character of the training and other considerations. To help simplify your research on Raj Yoga School, I have compiled the “Top 9 reasons for choosing Raj Yoga School for your 200hr certification”.

1. Practice Teaching Time – So many certification courses ignore this key element of the training. Nearly every week will include at least 45mins of practice teaching time with your peers. This prepares the teacher trainee for the internship and applies the information learned. Graduates can feel confident in their teaching skills and start to develop their personal flair and style.
2. Intimate Learning Environment – Our class sizes per training are limited to a maximum of 10 teacher trainees. With large groups, trainees receive less personalised attention. We want our students to feel comfortable, so we make ourselves approachable and available for each person’s learning experience. We also have mid-training 2:1 (2 trainers: 1 trainee) dialogue sessions, so that each trainee can voice their concerns, expectations and challenges with the training process.
3. Devoted and Experienced Faculty – Raj and Bharat are here to serve you during your training process and after. Both serve as mentors for a large majority of trainees, unless requested otherwise. We build relationships with our trainees that last beyond the training. Our expertise is not only in teaching yoga, but also in training teachers. We are patient, supportive, and motivating. We love what we do, and it shows!
4. Assistantship/Internships that matter! – All too often, training pairs a mentor with a teacher trainee to the mentor’s weekly classes. Unfortunately, not all mentors allow their intern to teach their classes or let them walk around and adjust the students. We believe this is the most essential opportunity for the teacher trainee to apply the techniques and skills learned during our practice days and receive feedback from their mentor. Feedback is always in the form of thoughtful comments, critiques and guidance from your mentor that will steer you toward being a better teacher.
5. Opportunities to teach beginner students – With our close relationship within the community, we have established a unique class for each teacher trainee to teach true beginner students.
6. Relationships within the Yoga Community – Raj and Bharat have established themselves within the Yoga community as teachers and teacher trainers for the past 10 years. They have taught in many studios and continue to make these connections for their students, setting up auditions and forwarding job opportunities.
7. Organised, Clearly Guided Material – We are proud of our professionalism. We stand out from other training by using a presentation and unique style, with clearly organised notes.

If you are still not sure, ask one of our graduates how they felt about the training. We are confident that you will receive quality training and preparation for your future as a Yoga teacher.
