How much does it cost to become a yoga teacher?
Have you ever thought about doing Yoga Teacher Training?
Spending that much money can feel like a big commitment.
Let me try to explain how to look at Yoga Teacher Training prices.
I will use it as a reference to one of the most popular places for yogis these days, Bali. This island has a wide offer of different styles of yoga and YTT practices. Read below the cost to become a yoga teacher.
So what are you paying for?
The answer is only related to the Training and covers the basics; it does not include the accommodation.
- The Teachers.
They must be highly prepared to provide quality knowledge. It is their responsibility to conscientiously certify those students who are ready to become teachers. It means they have taken a lot of teacher training in the past (and probably still do).
- The Yoga Manual.
A good manual takes months to be born. It can be a miss conception to think that a big manual cost more. In my experience of writing the Vinyasa manual for the 200hs Vinyasa & Yin, I can say that writing a big manual with everything you know on it is easier than a concise and precise manual.

Why?
Because I can just put everything related to yoga, all the information I have at home from my books, and pretend that is a good manual because it is big. The truth is a YTT is quite intense. From my perspective, the art of a good manual is the structure, select the information and how is delivered. A 200hs can be quite overwhealmeing for the students, the manual will give them the support to go throught.
The yoga path has no end, it is the path that is matter. It will always be something else to read, another way to practice, etc.
- The props and extra material.
- The studio and the people who work in it. A person who assists you in matters of daily life, a cleaning person, etc.
- Yoga Alliance Certification. There is a fee to pay by the studio and the teacher to be able to certify you as a Yoga Alliance Teacher.
In conclusion, if you pay for example 2.700 US for a 200hs YTT, it cost 13.5 US an hour to become a yoga teacher.
In this hour all the things above are included and you will learn new things to cultivate yourself and open new business opportunities.
It is an investment in yourself and your yoga career if you want to teach afterward.
With this information, you can realize what it takes to prepare a training and what are you paying for. Also, it can help you to have a better understanding of what YTT you want to choose.
