What is the difference between the levels: new teacher, yoga teacher, experienced yoga teacher and senior yoga teacher?
Experience levels recognise your teaching experience. They’re not separate memberships; they’re markers that show your journey from starting out to senior professional.
Why This Matters
Experience levels provide professional recognition and help employers, venues, and students understand your teaching experience at a glance. They also influence search visibility and which events you’re eligible to run.
Some growth journeys may be specific to your experience level.
What This Means For You
- New Teacher: You’ve recently graduated and are starting to teach (under 1 year experience). Employers and students know you’re at the beginning of your career.
- Yoga Teacher: You’re teaching regularly and have built up some experience (more than 1 year teaching).
- Experienced Yoga Teacher: You have significant teaching hours (4+ years and 2,000 hours) and CPD under your belt. You may also be eligible to run Further Training.
- Senior Yoga Teacher: Reserved for highly experienced professionals with extensive teaching history (8+ years and 4,000 hours). You may be eligible to run Foundation Training.
