Online Yoga Teacher Training Certification

Online yoga teacher certification courses can make it possible for an aspiring yoga teacher to earn their certificate in a way that is affordable and convenient. It is not, of course, the same thing as a hands-on, in-person program, but there some groups who I feel can get real value from such a program.

Experienced Yoga Students who already have a lot of knowledge but lack the time and money for a formal certification program
Experienced Health & Fitness Instructors with a yoga background, who want much more in-depth, yoga-specific training than is available from those weekend “certification” programs operated by fitness certification organizations.
Yoga Teachers who want advanced training in specialized areas, which is often not available in the typical teacher certification programs.

Click to Learn about AURA There are a lot of features that belong in an online and/or correspondence yoga teacher training program. And there aren’t too many to pick from. Bottom line: my choice in this category is the AURA Wellness Center, based in Attleboro, MA, and operated by Paul Jerad – a yogi with over 20 years experience of yoga teacher training. AURA is well established with over 1300 graduates and offers quite a wide of courses. Click to Learn about AURA

Here are the key features that attracted me to the AURA programs:

Options for Preparatory, Basic, Advanced and Specialty Programs.
Unlimited email and phone support.
Provides top quality training material through a combination of books, videos and audio formats.
Has an established online community for interaction with other aspiring and practicing yoga instructors.
Offers modules on the business of yoga and marketing for yoga instructors
The courses are developed by a teacher with decade of experience in training yoga teachers, in person and by correspondence courses.
Operates ongoing in-person workshops/training programs. This is not just a website or a publishing company, but real teacher who really teaches.
Affordable prices (and payment plans)
Money Back Guarantee

My main complaint for an online offering is that they have recently revamped their online presence with a new site (aurawellnesscenter.com), and while it looks great, there are still some links that take you back to the old site . It’s a bit confusing, if you happen to come upon one of those links. (Apparently they are combining the correspondence programs onto the same site as their main AURA Wellness Center).

Anyway here’s the REAL link to the online store for the correspondence courses. You can find everything you need there, and the checkout seems to work smoothly.

Below is a sample of what you can find. To see details or to order, CLICK HERE, then choose a course category from the menu on the left side of the AURA Wellness site.
