How to Tell if You’re Ready for Yoga Teacher Training

Are you drawn to the idea of becoming a yoga teacher but unsure if you’re "ready"? You’re not alone. Many thoughtful, dedicated yoga students feel uncertain about taking the leap into teacher training, especially those who didn’t come to yoga through a fitness studio or social media trend.

The good news is that readiness isn’t about how flexible you are or how many years you’ve been practising. It’s about your mindset and your motivation.

Signs You Might Be Ready:

• You crave a deeper understanding of yoga beyond the poses.

• You want to explore yoga philosophy, breathwork, and meditation.

• You feel called to share yoga with others while deepening your own practice.

• You’re curious, open-minded, and willing to keep learning.

Common Misconceptions:

• “I’m not advanced enough.” In reality, many people start teacher training as serious students, not seasoned practitioners.

• “I have to look a certain way.” Not true. At Phoenix Yoga France, our training is especially welcoming to those who feel outside the mainstream yoga world, whether due to age, body type, injury, or approach.

What Makes Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Unique?

We offer an online, in-depth Viniyoga training that values tradition, personalisation, and real learning over performance. You’ll get:

• Comprehensive grounding in philosophy, postures, breathwork, and teaching skills.

• Supportive mentorship and structure to guide your journey.

• A community of like-minded students who take yoga seriously, not superficially.

Still unsure? Many students take our Yoga Foundation Course first to build confidence and to experience what it’s like to be part of one of our longer courses. From there, they often find the transition into teacher training feels natural and empowering.
