Sat Nam,
There will be a level 1 teacher training session starting in September 2012
in NW Arkansas. Hopefully that will be more accessible to some of you.
I'll post the details when I have them.
Another thing you might do is approach your teacher (or contact a Kundalini
Yoga teacher nearby, which can be one days drive distance) and ask them if
you get together enough people they would be willing to teach a Level I
training class - or, if not that, offer weekend workshops.
When I started back to my Kundalini Yoga I was teaching Hatha and had a
number of regular students, so I thought I'd offer my first workshop. I
contacted YogaYoga in Austin, TX to see if one of their teachers would be
interested in coming here (6-8 hr drive one way) to teach a workshop. And
they offered the head teachers/owners Mehtab & Guru Karam. I was thrilled.
They even brought a gong with them. We had about 21 people (not huge, but
for NW AR it was!) and from that one workshop new teacher was "born" (one of
my students fell in love with KY and the gong that he went on to become a
Level I teacher, traveling to Austin every-other weekend to learn) and
others did Kundalini Yoga for the first time and still practice.
Often spaces are available for a low fee to use for workshops if you don't
have a big space. You can do it.
Sat Nam,
Arjinder

Hello,
I must say I agree with you that the classes are very expensive, too long,
and require travel.
OTOH, I would not want to be taught by someone who just hangs up a shingle
and says, "I am a yoga teacher." A person can be badly hurt by an inept yoga
teacher.
I wish there would be something like an apprenticeship. It seems to me that
some of the things that are taught in the certified training are not
necessary like all the anatomy and physiology. But that's just my opinion. I
have not taken the training. I did live in an ashram for a while and after a
couple of years of practicing yoga, I was invited to lead a class which I
did. Since then I often lead a class, but I am careful to say that I am NOT
a teacher, that I am a practitioner, who is merely doing yoga with other
people.

that you teach to create teachers that in turn will teach. Now one must be
certified and the certifications are very expensive. The classes always
require travel and added expenses for lodging.

Does anyone know of a way that you can learn to become a teacher without
busting ones bank account?
