It's normal to have a mini freak-out on your teacher training course, and what better way to help ease your mind than to discuss these issues with other trainees going through the same thing! Join the group here!
On the trainee blog, you'll find lots of articles to help you on your journey.
1. Be prepared to commit to and prioritise your study both inside and outside of the classroom.
2. If you are travelling abroad, prepare in advance. Learn essential phrases and make sure you have a basic grasp of your trainer’s native language.
3. Be prepared to cover everything from Yoga Philosophy, Anatomy, Business and Marketing.
4. When carrying out personal yoga practice, repeat the relevant cues either out loud or in your mind.
5. Apply for trainee insurance. Having the opportunity to practice as you move through the course is the best way to boost your confidence.
6. Do not leave coursework until the last minute! Keeping on top of your work is the most effective way of learning.
