The Value of LeAnanda Yoga Teacher Training Program

Understanding the Costs of YTT

1. Top-Notch Teachers and a Lineage of Excellence

   You're not just learning from some random person who did a weekend course on YouTube. Our lead teacher, Leanne (Leela-Devi) Jones, is a Yoga Alliance Senior accredited teacher. This means she has over 5,000 hours of teaching experience and more than 1,000 hours of training. Leanne has dedicated over 16 years to the practice and teaching of yoga. Forever the student, your teacher will continue to study and practice with their teachers too. In whichever training you choose, you're paying for their experience, and their teacher’s experience is passed on to you. They’re packing your brain full of yoga knowledge that will benefit your life and the lives of others around you. Quality training equals quality price.

   
   

2. More Than Just Poses

   Sure, you’ll learn the ins and outs of Downward Dog, but YTT goes deep. We’re talking anatomy, philosophy, breathwork, meditation, hands-on assisting, energy work, and even business know-how so you don’t just end up teaching your cat in your living room. You may even get a manual and other equipment included, which also comes at a cost. This comprehensive training ensures you are well-rounded and prepared to teach.

   
   

3. Small Groups = More Personalized Attention

   No one wants to get lost in the crowd. With smaller class sizes, you receive more personalized feedback. This means you’ll actually know what you’re doing by the time you leave. Throughout a year-long course, you develop close relationships with your peers. If you're still not confident once you've graduated, Leanne will provide further mentoring. This support ensures you become a great teacher.

   
   

4. Fancy Locations & Retreats

   Some YTT programs are held in stunning, peaceful locations—because nothing says spiritual awakening like a beach in Bali. While we won't be jetting off to Bali as part of the LeAnanda Teacher training, we will have a retreat weekend. This getaway allows you to step away from your usual setting and immerse yourself in practice. This valuable experience, along with the costs of renting the yoga studio, is included in your training fees.

   
   

5. Certification Comes with Costs

   Most programs are accredited because you want a legitimate qualification. This means fees for maintaining standards are built into the costs. An accredited program boosts your credibility when entering the yoga teaching profession.

   
   

Why Investing in YTT is Worth Every Penny

1. It Will Transform Your Life

   This isn’t just about learning to teach; it’s about leveling up your yoga practice and mindset. People emerge from YTT with a fresh perspective on life, which is invaluable. You don’t realize the transformative power of yoga until you experience it firsthand.

   
   

2. Find Your Yoga Tribe

   Imagine being surrounded by a bunch of yoga-loving, good-energy humans who truly understand you. The friendships formed during this journey will last a lifetime. You will support each other when you fall and lift each other up when needed. That bond is priceless.

   
   

3. Make a Living Doing What You Love

   Okay, you’re not going to become a millionaire overnight, but teaching yoga can be a fulfilling career. Whether it's offering classes, hosting retreats, leading workshops, or producing online courses, you've got options. We will help guide you in your yoga career.

   
   

4. Gain Valuable Life Skills

   Public speaking, leadership, and stress management are skills you’ll use everywhere—not just in the studio. You’ll also become that person everyone in the office wants to be around. Your calm demeanor helps you handle stress while others might panic.

   
   

Embracing the Investment

Yes, YTT is expensive. However, if you’re serious about deepening your practice, sharing yoga with others, and investing in yourself, then it’s a no-brainer. If it doesn't feel like an uncomfortable investment, you won't value it. And without valuing it, you won’t reap the full benefits.

You’ll come out stronger, wiser, and probably much more flexible—both physically and mentally. So, if your gut (or your heart) tells you to go for it, it might be time to roll out that mat and take the plunge!
