So where do you want to go?
If you are based in the States and would like to stay at home then check out the choices of yoga teacher training in the United States of America and would like to stay home then review the reputable schools available and 'near me' for your convenience.
Think about Florida for it's warm weather, cool lifestyle and varied choices available to you.
Or maybe Hawaii, what an awesome place to explore and discover more about yourself, the land, culture, and your yoga.
On the other side of the Atlantic there are a range of awesome registered yoga schools offering yoga certifications in Europe.
Undoubtedly this is a great option with so many yoga schools offering diverse yoga courses.
Consider Costa Rica or Mexico as great first options.
Or further afield there is Bali, and don't forget about Thailand too.
It doesn't stop here though, there are places like Cambodia and Sri Lanka offer you great choices.
Just check the weather for the time of year so you don't hit the monsoon where you are.
Or consider.....
Possibly the most popular option of all is doing your teacher training in India, birthplace of yoga and with the holy city Rishikesh where you can truly immerse yourself in your spiritual journey.
Yoga Certification Near Me and Far Away
European top picks would be in the south for the atmosphere and nearby beaches, the yoga teacher
training in Spain prove particularly popular.
And the relaxed atmosphere of Portugal makes it a big yogi attraction. Just like the islands of Greece
in the Mediterranean.
For their culture and food Italy is a constant draw card, or in the United Kingdom if you are based
there, which also has the added benefit of trainings running in many studios across the country so it
can end up that your classes are not too far away from your home base.
The ease and convenience of a short trip is hard to ignore, allowing you to devote the time to your
yoga education. Spain is one place that offers easy access by short trips within Europe.
Or on the other side of the world in the Americas consider Guatemala.
In South America there are great trainings in Peru and Ecuador.
The choices of where and how to get your RYT certification are never-ending these days.
We know it may seem daunting, there are so many places to go.
And then you have the consideration of what is the best yoga teacher training program out there for you.
2. The Yoga Styles to choose from
Search for the course that touches your heart and the yoga style that you are comfortable with.
There are Yoga Teacher Trainings in all styles, combinations and disciplines.
Hatha and Vinyasa is a popular mix, as is Ashtanga and/or Vinyasa.
Some offer the opportunity to focus on a holistic modality, like the Meditation or the increasingly popular Yoga Therapy, which can include Ayurveda, Yoga Nidra, Tantra...
You can also find trainings in Sadhana Yoga, building discipline and inner peace through letting go of the ego, and mix this with Shamanic practices.
There are trainings for groups of people too - women only, children with mothers, prenatal and postnatal mothers, yogis who surf.
A Teacher Training is commonly a combination of yoga styles, leaving you with the ability to run a simple class.
Below are the 3 most common yoga styles links in search, but it doesn't just stop with these - there are courses that include teaching practice in all styles we know of - there is the slower Restorative and/or Yin Yoga; the heat of Ashtanga and Vinyasa, and different mixes of all these styles in classes.
If you enjoy focus on precision and alignment then there are Iyengar courses for you.
And you will find Kundalini yoga too, the feminine power, and Tantra, combining asana, mantra, bandha and chakra. Then there is Aerial Yoga, a combination of Pilates and dance using a hammock, and Bikram or Power Yoga, hot yoga.
Here are the top 3 but please consider that all combinations and methods are shown in style search, so if you are interested in a training that includes a style below but also has other practice included, then you will find them in your search. Namaste.
With its sequence of asanas Ashtanga is physically demanding producing internal heat.
Ideal for building core strength and preparation for even more dynamic practice.
With asanas and pranayama focus Hatha Yoga encompasses most yoga styles.
Offers a slower pace that can be a good introduction to yoga.
Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Certification
Vinyasa may well be the most popular yoga style in the West.
By moving from one posture to the next using breath it creates the 'flow' it is so well known for.
The list does not stop here, there is a whole array of styles to focus on, or combination of styles too.
From Yoga Nidra Instructor Training for those interested in this sleep-like meditation, or the slow yoga
as an exercise in a Yin yoga teacher training, or a specialism like restorative teacher training, and
every other focus you can imagine, plus none of these examples are taught independently on their
own, there are courses with mixes of all these styles and different content, plus lots more!

4. Cost
Prices of TTC's vary by country.
If you are looking to keep to a budget then there is no better option for variety of
trainings all at a price to match than you will find in India. You will receive
an authentic teaching and learning experience just as much as more pricey options
elsewhere, plus you get to certify in the home of yoga and spirituality. Sound good?
Inside India maybe check out what there is in the way of trainings in Goa in India.
Goa could be one good option for you to consider with many schools dotted along
the different village beaches and you get the added benefit of the large yogi
community, therapists and practitioners that swarm here every year outside of the
monsoon season.
To cover this topic we have written what we believe is the most comprehensive
guide to yoga teacher training cost, what to take into account, and how to find
a training that will match your budget.

your venue, then you can always search by price descending on our website here to
