From payment options to teaching possibilities, we've answered the most frequently asked questions about our yoga instructor courses.
Before you formally begin your yoga journey, it's useful to know if you have the right qualities. The best yoga instructors and teachers have strong communication and observation skills, sensitivity and empathy, a commitment to their own practice and expert knowledge about all that yoga encompasses.
If you feel that's you to the letter, the first thing you'll need to do is complete accredited yoga teacher training. This can be done one of two ways, either the face-to-face Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Yoga or the online yoga instructor course. Both are the same in terms of course content and support, it's just a case of deciding how you'd like to complete your theory and practical assessments.
Alongside individual yoga courses, we also have a trio of career packages to choose from. These combine the entry-level yoga course with other qualifications such as Level 3 Exercise Referral and Level 3 Pre and Postnatal Exercise Instructor. It's the perfect way to make a flying start with your yoga teaching career.
If you're keen to discover more about the world of yoga, we've created a comprehensive guide to becoming a yoga teacher. Our career guides and articles also cover things like the history of yoga, essential books for yoga teachers and a look at yoga instructor jobs and opportunities.

If you've enrolled onto any of our yoga courses, it's important to note that it's not a matter of how quickly you complete your teacher training, but how well you grasped the content and how confident you feel to teach.
Our Essentials yoga career package, which is comprised of our Level 3 Yoga Teacher Training, can be completed in 10-12 weeks. The Specialist package, which combines yoga and the Level 3 Pre and Postnatal Instructor course, takes approximately 12-16 weeks to qualify.

We get asked this question all the time as it is often a thing other training providers claim to offer. While it may suit some, this doesn't fit with our 'become more' ethos.

We've found that instilling this attitude, that you can teach anywhere, has inspired our students and graduates to do some amazing things, including starting the internationally-renowned YogaFit Retreats, opening their own studios and much more.
Instead of claiming we can guarantee an interview or get you a job, we've created CV Connect. As soon as you've completed your yoga instructor course, you'll gain access to this innovative platform. We've personally sourced hundreds of employers and a thousand active vacancies.
