Quality counts
Good quality training and a good dose of pragmatism can make all the difference in building a successful yoga career.

So, you want to be a yoga teacher? You’ve been practicing a while, you’re seriously into your yoga vibe and you want to bring yoga truly into the centre of your life. It can be hard to make a living in the industry, so if you’re thinking of training to be a teacher, here are seven key points we recommend you consider:
1. Invest in decent training
Your yoga business will ultimately hinge upon you and your credibility as a yoga teacher so think carefully about your basic training because this will be the foundation upon which you build your teaching profile. BWY offers Ofqual regulated teacher training but it also accredits other yoga training organisations. You don’t have to train with BWY to get its recognition. If you have already trained elsewhere you can achieve recognised teacher status through the BWY quality assurance procedure. Ofqual accredited training undoubtedly gives an assurance of standards, reliability and quality. This, in turn, gives a message of confidence and trust to potential clients and students.
