International League College Yoga Certificate, what is the RYT200 hour certificate? Is it useful for substitute classes?
What is the certificate for RYT200 hours? Is it useful for substitute classes?
Let's start with the popular science of TTC=Teacher training course (teacher training course) RYT=Registered Yoga Teacher (registered yoga). The first thing that is internationally recognized is the certificate of the International Yoga Union, which is composed of the National Yoga Alliance, the British Yoga Alliance (made up of the UK and EU countries) and the Australian Yoga Alliance. The certificates of the three alliances are mutually acceptable. RYT200 hours means that to obtain the above alliance certificate, you must complete 200 hours of systematic yoga study. And the real RYT200 hour certificate must be available on the foreign official website. At present, the country does not have a standard management of the yoga industry, and no certificate is issued by the national government. All the yoga certificates in China are issued by yoga colleges and yoga studios themselves, and there is an International Yoga Union College in China, which is registered by the college itself and has nothing to do with the International Yoga Union. You can imagine the gold content of any certificate that can be bought with money. But training institutions that really have RYT200 hour qualifications are relatively more formal and their teachers are not too poor. When we choose a training institution, it must be the teachers who are important. As for certificates, there may be requirements in large yoga studios and high-end gyms in some big cities, but most of them are not rigid indicators. We choose which yoga teachers to study with, and we must not just look at their promotional resumes and regular lectures. Resumes can be forged, and the length of time a person teaches has nothing to do with the quality of teaching. It's like there are so many people practicing yoga, but very few of them can really become masters. We have to examine the quality of teachers in all aspects, and it is best to experience the teachers' courses before choosing, because the current teaching and training is very expensive, so we should be careful when choosing.
