ldquoAn Open Letter to All Serious Hot Yoga Students Who Want to Become Yoga Alliance Certified Teachers in the Next 2-16 Monthsrdquo

Dear Yoga Student If you LOVE Hot Yoga and are ready to take your practice to the next level by becoming a certified yoga teacher then sit down and listen up because this letter could be the first step on an amazing adventure in mind body and spirit Irsquom talking about changing your life My name is Lucas Rockwood and after my first Hot Yoga class I remember standing on the corner of Broadway and Spring Streets in New York City smoking a cigarette while I called my brother to tell him what had happened

ldquoI took this classrdquo I told Ryan ldquoAnd it was like a zillion degrees in the room and I barely survivedhellip I mean I think I almost diedhellip and I liked it So I joined the studio for a monthrdquo

Needless to say my brother wasnrsquot excited And when my instructor walked by and saw me sucking down that cigarette he wasnrsquot too thrilled either But me I was grinning like an idiot totally hooked on Hot Yoga from day one because I knew that this was the beginning of a whole new lifemdasha whole new me It was the simplest recipe in the world 90 minutes Mirrored walls A room full of people (who neednrsquot have anything in common) And a steady knowledgeable voice to guide us

Fast forward 3 months and 41 lbs later (lost weight) Same me same yoga but a whole new world had opened up Irsquod quit my corporate job quit smoking quit drinking and literally changed my life 180 degrees for the better My clothes didnrsquot fit me and neither did a lot of my old negative friends Come to find out most things in my old life didnrsquot fit anymore but I wasnrsquot bothered I was floating I started studying nutrition and cooking yoga history and philosophy I was the geek who stayed after every yoga class just to listen in on the teachersrsquo conversations (at that time I didnrsquot even know what questions to ask so I just listened)

If yoursquod told me then in 2002 thatrsquod Irsquod become a certified yoga teacher in Thailand that Irsquod teach students in 5 different countries that Irsquod own my own studio and run training programs that would produce hundreds of graduates from 26 countriesmdashI would have laughed out loud But thatrsquos exactly what happened Let me be clear though yoga did NOT come naturally to me For the first two years it was a constant struggle But I kept at it because every time I moved through some physical hurdle in my practice Irsquod see parallel benefits in my day-to-day life I treated people better I was more creative I slept and ate better Sounds cheesy I know but I was just an all-around better person So how can yoga do this Irsquom not entirely sure but after taking hundreds of classes and practicing for thousands of hours I do know that there is a special magic that happens in a hot room filled with students practicing yoga in synch And I also know that this ldquomagicrdquo can NEVER happen without the trusted voice of a well-trained teacher And this my friend is why Irsquom writing you today If yoursquove gotten to place like I did where yoga is the most important thing in your life if yoursquore more interested in whorsquos teaching the 7 pm class at your local studio than what new movie just came out and if you spend half your workday surfing yoga websites (addicting isnrsquot it) then perhaps itrsquos time you stop kidding yourself and think about making some BIG changes Yoga instructors today live amazing lives Whether your goal is to teach part time in your hometown or to go fulltime and travel the world like I did a yoga teacher training course is the first (and most important) next step along your path Our annual Hot Yoga course fills very quickly so Irsquod like to cordially invite you to apply now if you think this is the right choice for you Irsquove learned though yoga that opportunity is all around us all the time but the doors donrsquot open themselves When you see what you want when the stars align yoursquove got to make a bold move Clench your fingers into a tight fist raise your arm high in the air and say ldquoYes this is who I amrdquo I hope to see you in October on Koh Samui Keep practicing Lucas Rockwood Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 200) Absolute Yoga Samui

10 Things You Must Know

Before Enrolling In A Yoga Teacher Training Course

This report is designed for yoga students who are considering taking the next step and becoming yoga teachers This will help you understand what yoga trainings are like and what you can expect as a yoga teacher

I Why canrsquot I just take lots of classes and then start teaching The truth is practicing yoga and teaching yoga are two completely different things If you donrsquot take a proper training course you wonrsquot know how to safely and effectively lead a yoga class

II Why canrsquot I just ask my instructor at my home studio to teach me Herersquos how it works Teacher trainers are teachers who have taught a minimum

Your instructor at home might have this experiencemdashbut most likely not Teaching might look simple but donrsquot be deceived To do it well you really need to be properly trained

of 1000 classes and have taken at least 500 hours worth of training courses themselves

III Irsquove heard of weekend training courseshellip do I really need to study for a whole month There are many different lengths of training courses and shorter courses can be great for adding to your knowledge or getting introduced

to a new style of yoga That said a 200-hour certification is the international standard for beginner and intermediate yoga teachers and a course of that length takes a minimum of 26 days to complete

IV What about food and accommodation Some yoga trainings sound like childrenrsquos summer camps The rumors yoursquove heard are true Some yoga teacher training courses only offer dorm-style accommodationsmdashand some even have their students sleeping in tents This can be fun at first but four weeks is a long time and if you donrsquot have your own space a private bathroom and a quite place to sleep it can really make things more difficult than they need be Food is another important consideration During training you will be very

Everyone has certain foods that they need to feel healthy and strong and the best training courses provide a wide range of healthy food options AND are located near shops and restaurants so you can find extra things to meet your particular needs

busy and wonrsquot have time to worry about your next meal I know one student who did a teacher training in Los Angeles and there was nothing but fast food restaurants surrounding the training facility Students either ate junk food or else spend an hour or more each day shopping and preparing healthy food for themselves

V What about after the training Will anyone be there to help me find a job A good way to judge a teacher training is to ask the instructor how many of the graduates actually go on to become teachers Yoursquoll be surprised at how low most of the numbers are From a good course around half of the trainees will go on to teach The other half are usually either not interested in teaching (they just wanted to learn more about yoga) or already have other jobs that take up their time A good course also offers assistance to graduates to help them find jobs Usually this is done via email and telephone One of the teaching staff will give you honest recommendations for improving your resume gaining experience and finding jobs

VI I can do some postures really well but others are still hard from memdashcan I teach If you took twenty of the most famous yoga teachers in the world and watched them practice yoursquod be surprised to learn that their postures are far from perfect Teaching yoga is not about doing prefect poses or advanced asanas More importantly you must be committed to and in love with the practice

VII There are so many courses offeredhellip how do I know which to choose First decide what style of yoga you want to teach Then choose a course led by a teacher with a great reputation Yoursquoll want to make sure that the course is accredited by the Yoga Alliance the governing body for teacher training courses Lastly and most importantly choose a course yoursquore excited about You want this to be fun

VIII Is it possible to fail Some courses basically ldquosellrdquo certifications If you pay the tuition you graduate Excellent trainings sometimes fail students They do this not to be mean but to ensure quality Usually students who fail either break the rules (skip classes go out partying) or simply refuse to participate Someone who loves yoga and gives 100 effort will almost certainly pass

IX How much should it cost Training costs can vary but for high quality courses the tuition fees are fairly similar 200-Hour Residential Courses (includes room amp board) Average Cost $5500-6500 200-Hour Non-Residential Courses (no room amp board) Average Cost $3500-4000 You can find courses that are very cheap

And remember this an expensive course doesnrsquot necessarily mean itrsquos a good course Make sure the quality of the food accommodation and practice facility are up to your standards too One popular teacher training course currently conducts its classes inside an inflatable circus tentmdashso make sure to do your research

X How much does a yoga teacher make Your teaching salary will depend on the studio where you teach the class size and your level of experience Starting teachers usually make between $25-50 per class while senior teachers make two to three times that much

but these are usually a waste of time and money A good course is an investment in your future that will pay for itself many times over and people who attend ldquocheap trainingsrdquo usually end up having to take additional courses because they are not really ready to teach

VII There are so many courses offeredhellip how do I know which to choose First decide what style of yoga you want to teach Then choose a course led by a teacher with a great reputation Yoursquoll want to make sure that the course is accredited by the Yoga Alliance the governing body for teacher training courses Lastly and most importantly choose a course yoursquore excited about You want this to be fun

VIII Is it possible to fail Some courses basically ldquosellrdquo certifications If you pay the tuition you graduate Excellent trainings sometimes fail students They do this not to be mean but to ensure quality Usually students who fail either break the rules (skip classes go out partying) or simply refuse to participate Someone who loves yoga and gives 100 effort will almost certainly pass

IX How much should it cost Training costs can vary but for high quality courses the tuition fees are fairly similar 200-Hour Residential Courses (includes room amp board) Average Cost $5500-6500 200-Hour Non-Residential Courses (no room amp board) Average Cost $3500-4000 You can find courses that are very cheap

And remember this an expensive course doesnrsquot necessarily mean itrsquos a good course Make sure the quality of the food accommodation and practice facility are up to your standards too One popular teacher training course currently conducts its classes inside an inflatable circus tentmdashso make sure to do your research

X How much does a yoga teacher make Your teaching salary will depend on the studio where you teach the class size and your level of experience Starting teachers usually make between $25-50 per class while senior teachers make two to three times that much

but these are usually a waste of time and money A good course is an investment in your future that will pay for itself many times over and people who attend ldquocheap trainingsrdquo usually end up having to take additional courses because they are not really ready to teach
