Love this! I did a teacher training and it changed my life, wasn’t super experienced before the training and ended up teaching a little before. Best part was the people I met in the training and change I saw within myself. Thanks for this vid ;)
GIRRRRL first things first: you look beautiful, your makeup looks incredible. Second, this video was so helpful and straight to the point - I never felt like you were repetitive or boring - I couldn't stop watching and now I wanna go do YTT lol
Caitlin, can you describe the workload while in the program? Like, how much time was devoted to studying, bookwork, reading, any essays or projects, etc? It's something I've been wanting to do for a while and I appreciate this video bc it gave me a lot of great info!
Veggie Bee this is going to be dependent on the program you take. The requirements just changed too for Yoga Alliance certified trainings, so you should look up their guidelines to get a better idea!
Alex is right - the requirements did change so now all 200 hours have to be in the classroom I believe. We were required to take 40 hours of yoga classes outside of our training and I probably studied an additional 5-7 hours each week. It really depends on the training/your retention level though!
I'm halfway through Yoga Teacher Training and this video was spot on. Anyone who is curious about attending yoga training, I say go for it. It was an incredible decision in my life, but there is a hurdle that I fought towards the first few months, I almost wanted to back out because I was afraid I wasn't going to be a strong enough yoga teacher, but I'm so glad I stuck with it and didn't give up. Once I was over that hurdle yoga really became so fulfilling for me and my life... And my yoga journey. 🙏🏻
Hey Caitlin, does this mean you might start posting some yoga classes here on your channel? You should! Been trying to find a good RUclips Yogi and surprised that there aren't more options available on RUclips.
@@rosidimitrova3899 thanks for the suggestion! I have also just found another great channel, YogaXT. Like that it has various Yogi options to pick from.
I started yoga with Adriene as well, after a year i just got bored, but shes got a lot of videos, from 10 up to 60 minutes, so its great. Now i watch Allie the journey junkie, shes a bit more dinamic, and always tells you, how long you need to hold a pose, thats important for me cause sometimes i lose my patience 😂 they are both great 😊
Taught yoga once and honestly...it is SO different than your own practice. I guess, I am definitely on the self journey path rather than the teaching one :D It is just not for everyone and that is great, as I just express myself and share my knowledge in different fields ;D
This was so helpful! Thank you so much girl! I really appreciate how you gave a well-rounded, objective explanation of everything and how you were just straight up honest about the process before, during + after.
I was a personal trainer in my late 20s and used the money to go back to university and finish my degree. I got a BA in biology (familiar with Anatomy and Physiology) in 2016. After a corporate journey, I am ready to go back to treating my body right and moving regularly. I am about to start YTT in Chicago. I cannot wait.
Yoga always has and always will be something that I teach as a form of community service. It has been such a healing and emotionally powerful experience for me, along with a physical aspect to it as well. If anyone in the North County San Diego area ever wants to come try a hot yoga class, let me know and I can get you a guest pass! I’d love to share the gift of yoga with more people.
Also, I’ve never been great at arm balances and am very tight in my body because of my day job but I’ve been teaching consistently for over 5 years now. If you’re into yoga, you can do it!
My training had 23 people in it and I’d recommend a smaller group. Wouldn’t trade my training for the world, but a smaller group makes learning a lot easier in the long run!
Thank U 4 this video, it was the tipping point in deciding to do the TTP. I'm broke and about to be homeless in a couple weeks, but my relationship with the practice plus your immaculate communication on realities of this profession, I'm all in Thank U Super Much, Katelynn
Thanks you that was a nice advice vid u made there. I'm just starting to embrace yoga, I used to be a National champion sprinter from Ireland n worked as a fitness instructor. I taught myself how to teach a Physioball class and Functional Movements conditioning classes n now have 15 completed different routines developed n not even realising how much yoga and pilates was actually involved in these classes. But I'm putting my head down to totally understand yoga and hope me n my girlfriend who is doing a yoga course can get some classes up and running to help people from all aspects of live to help improve their health n fitness n over all wellbeing thru these classes. Fingers crossed now!!!
Have you ever thought about doing a yoga retreat or have you heard of a good one? I've almost thought of doing a teacher program just to get the immersed experienced but don't necessarily want to teach.
I’m sorry but this is why so many yoga teachers are not very good. The bar is set so low for entry. In martial arts for example the idea of becoming a teacher before obtaining something like a black belt or a certain equivalent level of certification. People should have to have a certain level of skill and proficiency but the studios want their money so it’s churn em through and all of a sudden there are thousands of “certified” teachers. As if 200 hours is enough to become a teacher of anything.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation present your requests to God by prayer with thanksgiving. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding shall guard your minds and hearts in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7
Hello I'm a nursing student and due to the pandmeic I'm having a hard time finding a yoga instructor to interview for my health promotion class. If you could answer the following that would be great! Tell me about your beliefs in the therapeutic benefits of the practice. Tell me about your level of training in the practice. What are the benefits of the exercise in health promotion?
This was really interesting. I normally watch your videos for vegan recipes, but I enjoy your vlogs as well. I hadn't caught up in a while and found this on my feed. If you get a chance, please look into yoga nidra and training for that practice. :)
I’m wishing to be a yoga teacher someday,i’d practicing yoga for about 3 years then ï completely stop bec i’m going to the gym. I’ll be back soon bec i love yoga 🧘♀️.thanks for this video ❤
Anita Horry Academy 6 hours ago Caitlin, I totally agree with your values and your concepts! I use a similar structure when I coach my students to become certified Pilates teachers and run their own businesses. The formula I teach creates transformations over and over again. My clients come to be because they have had enough of overwhelm, not happy working for someone else, not managing to get by and living paycheck to paycheck. I offer them the possibility to gain a new skill in helping others, which not only gives them personal satisfaction but offers them a very healthy and profitable lifestyle. I'm loving what I do and I thank all my teachers for the skills I can pass on to these people! Sending you love and light!!!
Thanks for your info. I'd like to get the certificate for personal growth purposes for now. Will the certificate expire? Maybe a few years later, I want to be a yoga teacher.
stop this is so weird i was just randomly watching yoga blogs and saw this and was like hm ok i might want to do YTT in the near future and like halfway through noticed this was two years ago and i was like i wonder what she’s up to now and saw your most recent video and was like oh hell ya she’s vegan and then i was like wait… she looks familiar…. and i already followed you from when i was following blogs w vegan recipes😂
Thanks for sharing your experience. Can you advise on a good beginner yoga teacher training programme in the UK please. I am a not so beginner Yoga lover, however want to build up my knowledge and practice through some authentic courses in UK.
thank you so much for your sharing. It is actually helpful and meaningful! I think it would be wonderful if you control your eyes and your head focusing on the camera
Did you say you went to graduate school for physical therapy, and that RUclips is your full-time job? Is it because you make more money on youtube, or because you find youtube more satisfying than PT?
She said you cannot possibly learn all of the names of poses. Kind of trying to think of what you are training then? PRACTICE study and teach ALL of the names of the poses??? Fake
Who says it’s just not a small step in her yoga journey? She’s not claiming to be a yoga master . You guys clearly struggle with your ego/have a pretty low-consciousness outlook to even make these kind of judgements . Good luck 🧘♀️♥️
You don’t have to get into all that, you can do it as just an exercise and focusing on your breathing and keeping your mind focused on whatever brings you peace 👌 So if you’re religious and God is what gives you peace, you can focus on him
please take this nonsense down. Yoga is not some practice you can just take a 200 hour class on and turn it into some cool side hustle or youtube channel. It takes years and years and studying and practice. I hate what yoga has turned into today, some trendy hobby for white women to appropriate and capitalize on. If you're truly sincere about yoga, learn it the RIGHT way. #DECOLONIZEYOGA
Love this! I did a teacher training and it changed my life, wasn’t super experienced before the training and ended up teaching a little before. Best part was the people I met in the training and change I saw within myself.

Are you a yoga instructor now?
I want you
I wouldn’t be upset at all if you decided to make a second channel was that a dedicated yoga practice channel.
yesss!!!
I'd be so into it
Great content, thank you !
Yoga History begins in India 🇮🇳🙏🕉

aww love you!!!! you da best
@@CaitlinShoemaker LOOOOL GIRLLLRRR come on yall get your own culture cuz yo you da huh > whu?
It was awesome listening to you discuss how yoga is a way to spread more kindness, love, and gratitude 💕

There are actually a ton of great channels! Leslie Fightmaster, Erin Parks Yoga, Alo Yoga, the list goes on :)
Try Boho Beautiful:) her videos are really helpful!
It’s a sign! I’m literally drinking the same Kombucha 😂

Hi I’ll be in San Diego this weekend! Would love to connect thnx !

❤️ beautiful description! Love how you said “you hold space for others”
Could you do another vegan grocery haul and vegan cooking on a budget using the haul please
coming soon! just filmed one last week :)

I’d love a video on starting and progressing a yoga practice
Did you learn about BASTI KRIYA?
Hello I'm a nursing student and due to the pandmeic I'm having a hard time finding a yoga instructor to interview for my health promotion class. If you could answer the following that would be great!
Tell me about your beliefs in the therapeutic benefits of the practice.
Tell me about your level of training in the practice.
What are the benefits of the exercise in health promotion?
OK but where can I find a nice pair of shoe's? You are the shoemaker no?
I teach kundalini yoga and I want to become a well rounded yoga instructor
I’ve been doing yoga for a long time and am working on getting my YTT. This video was helpful.
Yes I definitely need your help. I'm a certified Kemetic Yoga teacher. It's been difficult journey.
What has made it most difficult?
wait whatttt! am i the only person who didn't know you were a PT?! that's awesome
This was really interesting. I normally watch your videos for vegan recipes, but I enjoy your vlogs as well. I hadn't caught up in a while and found this on my feed. If you get a chance, please look into yoga nidra and training for that practice. :)

Do I need to do my 200hrs before trying to do my 300 hour course?
Most of the time, yes! You can look at the module content or ask the program for clarifications as well.
20-30?! That's so low. Here in Greece it can go up to 100 euros or more, depending where you instruct and with who.
I hope you’re better at teaching yoga than making RUclips videos
To become a certified Iyengar teacher it takes on average about 5 years of training.
Thanks for your info. I'd like to get the certificate for personal growth purposes for now. Will the certificate expire? Maybe a few years later, I want to be a yoga teacher.

thank you so much for your sharing. It is actually helpful and meaningful! I think it would be wonderful if you control your eyes and your head focusing on the camera
all you need is the kombucha in the background to be a "GOOD" yoga teacher, lol
Loved this Q & A - I'm starting my YTT at the end of March so it's helpful to hear all of your thoughts as a new teacher!
Thank you so much for this informative video 😍😍😍
That Yoga should not be culturally appropriated.
Yay girl! Congrats! ❤️
So helpful! Thanks so much! 💛
I am so interested in this. I'd love this to become a mini series 🤞
Caitlin, thank you! :)
Brasileira te assistindo aqui pela primeira vez🇧🇷😘
Treinando meu inglês com seus vídeos 🎈❤️
Very helpful thanks
What program did you do
Love your intensity and no bullshit character
Thank you so much for all the information. 😀
I just started doing yoga I'm a beginner what else can I do my lower back
back bridges, planks, and iversions
Thank you. This was an awesome video.
Did you say you went to graduate school for physical therapy, and that RUclips is your full-time job? Is it because you make more money on youtube, or because you find youtube more satisfying than PT?
Hi Caitlin, thanks so much for this info, super helpful and so digilent with all the addtional links and info :-)
loved your video! thank you!
Getting students
Thanks for the information! This video really helped me feel more prepared.
Love from India.
super helpful thank you!
She said you cannot possibly learn all of the names of poses. Kind of trying to think of what you are training then? PRACTICE study and teach ALL of the names of the poses??? Fake
Hi 👋 ..
From where you done your ttc?
Hiiiiiiiiii !!!
u talk a lot
that was really insightful, thank you!
Om shanti k good day
i need help.
Thank you...Namaste!
tucker
so you basically pay 2k for a yoga retreat, which takes you 1000 classes of teaching to regain, if you even get a job... ? sounds really expensive...
Ur face on the thumbnail 🤣👌🏻
Thanks for sharing your light! 🙏🏻☀️💕
Great video! I am just now discovering that I love yoga 💗.
Thanks for this video! I'm starting my Yoga Teacher Training in May so this was very helpful :)
Thank you so much for this video, it was incredibly helpful ♥️
can I be a yoga teacher and I don't being workout for a while?.
they are not teaching yoga and the students are not learning yoga , after the course the new teachers are teaching something with the name yoga ...
I AGREE SOON as soon as I saw the face I was like girl bye
Who says it’s just not a small step in her yoga journey? She’s not claiming to be a yoga master . You guys clearly struggle with your ego/have a pretty low-consciousness outlook to even make these kind of judgements . Good luck 🧘♀️♥️
Yoga is Hinduism and occult new age disguised as relaxing exercice. This Trainings are more to teach stretching new age mixed with asanas from Yoga .
Depends on where you do it. I get where you’re coming from, but some trainings are totally legit. You find what you look for.
You don’t have to get into all that, you can do it as just an exercise and focusing on your breathing and keeping your mind focused on whatever brings you peace 👌
So if you’re religious and God is what gives you peace, you can focus on him

Wow this is the absolute worst description of yoga teacher training
How so? I only ask because I am new to this and was looking into Yoga Teacher Training programs and if I should consider them at all.
