First, look at the certificate
Many institutions say that their certificates are from the country, India or a foreign institution. At present, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, an China country, has not issued any specifications and documents about yoga. In other words, this profession has not been recognized by the national vocational department, and there is no relevant rating. As for India and foreign countries, it is even more difficult to say. Because of the language barrier, most people can't fully understand the introduction of foreign websites and license issuing agencies. Even if you study abroad, you will encounter a diploma workshop thousands of miles away, not to mention just a certificate. !
If the development of an institution depends on fraud and lying, you can judge for yourself whether it is worth studying there. Our understanding of certificates There is no national vocational certification in this industry, and certificates can only be issued by training institutions or training teachers. But the profession of yoga instructor is very dependent on certificates. Whether you can do this job well depends on whether your class is loved by the members. If members like your class, the boss will hire you, whether you have a certificate or not. If you don't like anyone in the class, you can't get a job even with a universal certificate.
Second, look at the curriculum system and teaching materials.
The curriculum system is the content of students' learning, which is very important, and it is related to whether students can master practical skills and achieve employment. Let's look at the foundation of the curriculum system. A good curriculum system should be practical and concrete. It should come from the practical application of member classes, that is, learning what member classes need to realize. The curriculum system set according to job requirements can apply what they have learned and solve the employment problem.
See if the content of the curriculum system is comprehensive and systematic. As an exotic product, yoga's historical background, development status and future development trend should be included in the curriculum system. In addition, yoga practice is closely related to the body, so human body structure, physiological anatomy and exercise physiology should also be included. It should also include the class mode, posture arrangement and posture explanation of the member classes involved in the actual work. With a systematic and scientific curriculum system, there must be corresponding teaching materials. Textbooks should be compiled according to the curriculum system, not books published in the market. I suggest you read the textbook by yourself.
Third, look at the academic system.
The academic system is also the study time. How long does it take to study, including how many hours a day, how many days a week, etc. On the one hand, it explains the amount of learning content, on the other hand, it affects the learning cost. However, many training institutions confuse the concept of academic system and count the time of free internship as class hours. It seems that learning time is long and there are many contents, but it is not. There are also some training institutions that have few class hours, but the learning period is very long. It seems that there are more learning contents, but it is not. In addition, some training institutions have arranged the contents of learning other courses into the curriculum, and there are not many hours to really learn technology. Therefore, students still have to calculate the real class hours and learning cycle by themselves.
The academic system should be reasonable and the class hours should be sufficient. Class hours refer to the real teaching time of teachers, excluding free practice time and free practice time. According to our experience, the general routine coaching course can be basically completed in 200 class hours, and the rest is to strengthen self-practice, find problems and solve problems in practice. Yoga instructors are self-made, not learned. A good teacher will teach you the correct practice methods, so that you can develop good self-practice habits and avoid getting hurt during self-practice. In this study, it is the learners themselves who really play a leading role. A seemingly long learning cycle or a short learning cycle can't achieve the best results. Practicing together is not targeted and will only waste more time, energy and expenses. Relying on the external environment does not really form a habit. Once you leave this environment, it is impossible to cultivate yourself.
Fourth, meet the teacher.
When choosing a training institution, you must know your teachers. Compare the observation of the teacher and the improvement of yoga on your body. For example, we often say that yoga can shape and see how the teacher's figure is; Yoga can improve temperament, depending on the teacher's temperament and so on. If a yoga teacher can't reflect the external effect of yoga as we think, you can judge for yourself whether to learn from him. In addition, be sure to talk to the teacher who teaches you the course. By talking, you can judge his values, his understanding of yoga and the teacher's self-practice habits, and you can also know what you can learn from this teacher. All these will affect your understanding and cognition of yoga, and will also become the navigation mark on your yoga road.
An excellent yoga teacher should have profound cultural background and theoretical knowledge of yoga philosophy. A teacher who can only do postures is not a good yoga teacher. Teachers are kind. Excellent yoga teachers can not only teach you how to be an excellent yoga instructor, but also guide you to make correct career planning and life planning. According to India, the guru can redeem the soul. The ultimate goal of yoga is to achieve the unity of body and mind and get the final liberation. The level of teachers determines your starting point, and you have more opportunities to achieve something on the shoulders of giants.
Fifth, look at the cost of learning
When students choose training institutions, they should pay more attention to the composition and rationality of learning fees, and the prices of good products and services should not be too low. Accordingly, if the price is very low, products and services are likely to be discounted accordingly. Reasonable training fees should be combined with employment services, curriculum system, educational system, certificates, teachers and other factors, rather than simply taking fees as the only criterion for selecting training institutions.
As consumers, we all have this experience: you may not be able to buy good things at high prices, but you have to spend a lot of money to buy good things. The learning cost of yoga instructor training is tens of thousands of yuan, which makes many people flinch. Many training institutions start price competition in order to accept students. When the price becomes a factor in your consideration of training institutions, you enter the consumption trap. The fixed expenditure of training institutions is fixed, and the only change is the personnel cost, such as rent, utilities, taxes and fees, decoration depreciation, etc. Excellent training teachers naturally have high costs. If you can't afford to hire a training teacher, the only thing the organization can do is to choose those training teachers with lower cost. In this way, your learning effect will also be discounted. Reasonable expenses are affordable to you, and within your own affordability, try not to take price as the only factor to consider the organization.
Since yoga has put on the cloak of business, it should be treated with honest and trustworthy business behavior. But in the face of business, we should also keep in mind the spirit of yoga. Choosing yoga means choosing a lifestyle, more because of love. The above five aspects are only for the reference of friends who need to choose yoga instructor training institutions. Different people have different opinions. Eight Yoga firmly believes that the level of the coach determines the level of the players!
