Things to Consider When Teaching Yoga at Home

Investing in Quality Props and Mats • Before starting a yoga teacher training course at home, you will need to invest in some quality mats, blankets, blocks, and straps. While some of your students may come with their own mats, you cannot expect every participant to come prepared with their own props to attend the class.

Get Liability Insurance • Yoga TTC requires you to get liability insurance as well as a waiver that your students will need to sign the moment they arrive for the class. In addition to keeping a check on the number of students who sign up for the course, this will help you keep your course protected.

Do Ample Research on Each Participant • Successful yoga instructor training also involves doing ample research on a student’s body constraints and medical conditions beforehand. Although you may have planned a specific sequence already, it pays to have an open mind and adjust the class according to these constraints. A good idea is to start with small breathing exercises and then move on to stable poses before moving onto the harder ones. This will help you diagnose and plan the course in the most effective manner.

Be ready to Assist • Some students may require private sessions, as they may require a lot of assistance during poses. Therefore, you may need to be flexible and comfortable about providing private sessions. If not, you need to inform them beforehand.
