Yoga teacher training programmes are for practitioners who want to deepen their practice and develop the tools to teach.

Each programme can take a different approach, so review its content, duration, teaching method, teaching team, entry requirements and format before choosing.

On Yogagenda, you can review each programme and contact the school or organiser directly with any questions.

Yoga teacher and instructor training

Schools frequently use the terms yoga teacher and yoga instructor when presenting programmes focused on teaching.

Regardless of the name used, the important thing is to review the knowledge and skills each training programme actually covers, how it is structured and the programme’s specific conditions.

Always check the information provided by the school or organiser before registering.

Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in Spain

Some schools use the term Yoga Teacher Training, or YTT, for programmes that prepare people to teach yoga, particularly when they welcome international students or teach in English or bilingually.

At Yogagenda, these programmes are part of yoga teacher training. Before choosing, it is worth checking the training language, content, duration, format, teaching team and the qualifications or accreditations indicated by each school.

• yoga practice and technique;
• teaching methodology;
• anatomy and movement;
• yoga philosophy and fundamentals;
• planning and teaching classes;

Frequently asked questions about yoga teacher training in Spain

What do I need to take a yoga teacher training course?

Requirements vary from school to school. Some training courses require previous practice experience, while others set their own admission criteria. Always check the conditions of the specific programme.

Are yoga teachers and yoga instructors the same?

Schools may use both terms in different ways. When comparing programmes, it is more useful to review their content, duration, methodology and aims than to rely solely on the name of the training course.

It depends on the programme. There are intensive training programmes, courses spread over several months and programmes organised by number of hours.

Does a 200-hour training course qualify you to teach yoga?

The meaning and scope of a 200-hour training course depends on the programme, the school and the accreditations it offers. Before enrolling, review the specific training information and consult Yogagenda’s guide to qualifications and certifications if you need more details.
