Sat Nam, I have to say that Anatomy and Physiology are two of the most intregal parts of any yoga teacher training. Not only do they benefit you the practicioner but they allow you to give verbal cues from deep within. Posture yoga is all about the daily practice and the deeping of the pose. By using your inner eye you watch as each muscle tendon and ligament softens, melts and moves breath by breath into the deepest state of the posture and meditation of the asanas. Without knowing the anatomy one can not relate to their body or the physical bodies of others. If you can not give verbal cues from what you are feeling and know what muscles are involved then you can not truely teach a class. Sat Nam Raj Kirin Kaur

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.

Now one must be certified and the certifications are very expensive. The classes always require travel and added expenses for lodging.
