Depending on the school that gives yoga course, the cost of hiring an instructor can vary and the qualifications also determine it. For a specialized institution, Iyengar or Bikram as an example, the charge can be higher. For the training of Iyengar, three years are needed to achieve level one. There is a program to be certified that goes with assessments and it can be worth $5,000 and up. As an alternative, you can choose a course for 200 hours and be certified as well. It has a lower value of $3,000 and below.

Like any new skill to learn, there are also different types of training to teach yoga. As an apprentice, the student assists the instructor with the presence of the group. Back then, Ashtanga and Iyengar allowed this practice. It lasted for three years in a studio and another three years with the Senior Teacher. For the Modular kind, it consists of four to five days in a workshop that spans a year. At least two years of practice are needed for basic to advanced levels. It also includes a week of intensive execution.

Monthly meetings to a program of two years can be the normal duration of learning to coach Yoga. For the program that runs for a long time, it is ideal for a person with family or work commitments. Since there are plenty of information to absorb, you will be given time to assimilate all of them. You can go for the one month program that is intensive since you can be immersed in it fully. For this kind, you will experience it in a far place like a residential retreat where focus can be done.
