"Hi, my name is Ashley Ludman, from Seaside Yoga, and I'm here to talk to you about becoming yoga certified, so there are many different yoga certification programs, all across the country, and also internationally. The best bet, would be to first go to yogaalliance.org, and they have a list of all of the registered yoga schools, that fall under their 200 or 500 hour registered yoga trainings. The first thing that I would suggest, is to find a teacher that really speaks to you, or inspires you, and find a specific style of yoga, that you are inspired to practice, and that will give you a little bit more information, about how to go about training, in that specific style, or discipline. Many of the 200 hour programs have a multidisciplinary approach to yoga teaching, so that means that you might get a little bit of one style of yoga, and a little bit of another style, which is a good basis to begin a certification program, so in terms of continuing on with your training. You can then go into some advanced trainings, and take a little bit more time in one specific style, so just to recap that. Find a teacher or a style of yoga, that inspires you.Go to yogaalliance.org, and good luck with your yoga certification journey."
