Namaskar,

Yoga credentials are not required in 99% of the world even though most people think it is the other way around. There are many yoga teachers that don't have a diploma and never attended a yoga instructor course.

Why bother to become a certified yoga teacher? It makes your students more comfortable. It makes it easier to get liability insurance. It shows anyone that you are serious about teaching yoga safely.

Is the aura yoga correspondence course worth it? For a little less that $500 you can become a certified teacher without having to give up your family and job. Seem like a no brainer to me.

Best of Luck,

Tomako
