Yoga Instructor

From Melissa

It’s a several month commitment to the work and to your own inner journey. I think mine was over 6 or 7 months.

There is one instructor I would recommend who is in the planning stages of a training. Julia at Ahimsa in Queen Anne. She’s solid.

• You have to have a certification. Some require an additional certification level.
• Some also require CPR/First Aid certification.
• Many require insurance, depending on if you are an independent contractor or an employee of the studio.

Most places require you to be a member of Yoga Alliance. And Yoga Alliance has an approval process.

There are some places that offer shorter trainings. Those are the ones to avoid. It’s usually a training through a national chain that might give you a sign-on bonus, but then pays you very minimal per class.

Certified at CorePower

• Mostly hot yoga and power yoga
• Scholarship (see below)
• Good foundation to teach at CPY
• For westernized fitness boutiques I think CPY is a good start, otherwise would not really recommend for authentic yoga.
