What do an experienced yogi, a beginner yogi, and someone who just took their first yoga class all have in common?
They've all joined Yoga Teacher Training at Twist. No joke.
It may come as a surprise, but Yoga Teacher Training is not just for the experienced yogi. In fact, many myths exist about who Yoga Teacher Training is for. Here are some common misconceptions:
Yoga Teacher Training is not just for those who are:
- Deep into their practice
- Able to do a handstand
- Fluent in Sanskrit
- Aged between 25-35
- Very flexible
- Comfortable with public speaking
Many people believe that only those who fit this criteria should pursue Yoga Teacher Training. While we do have some students who meet this criteria, the majority of our students come from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences.
Here’s who is right for Yoga Teacher Training:
- Someone seeking personal growth and self-discovery
- Someone eager to learn something new
- Someone wishing to make deep connections with others
- Someone wanting to deepen their understanding of Yoga with a capital "Y"
- Someone considering a life or career change
- Someone aged between 20 and 78 (Yes, we’ve had students in this age range, and it’s incredible)
- Someone who is NOT flexible
- Someone seeking community
- Someone who is afraid of public speaking (who isn't?!)
- Someone new to yoga, someone experienced, and everyone in between
Part of what makes our training so magical is the wonderful mix of experiences and backgrounds among participants. Younger and older individuals from different walks of life have incredible insights to share. Everyone learns from one another throughout the process.
The first day is truly special because as everyone steps into the studio and finds their spot on the cushion they are beginning a new journey. They have this idea of what its going to be and what they can offer but as each person arrives and shares their why, already, you can see everyone has something to learn and everyone has something to contribute and everyone lands in the same boat—there to learn something new, to step out of their comfort zone, and to embrace the uncertainty of what lies ahead. It’s pure magic.
