 People are used to "hidden catches" in everything, so where is the hidden catch in an online Yoga certification course? Have you ever priced a personal computer or software, only to see the price double or triple? People get used to the idea of surprises when ordering anything these days.
What are the extra costs of a Yoga teacher correspondence course? If you have books, CDs, or DVDs shipped to you, there may be some shipping costs. People, who buy products online, have seen price gouging in shipping before, so be aware of the cost to have a course shipped to you.
If you live outside the country, from where a Yoga teacher course is shipped, there may be import fees. Each country has different rates for import taxes. Depending on the country, you may get a break if they are marked, "educational materials."
An organization that exports anything cannot claim it is a gift. Making false claims on exported packages is a sure way for the certifying organization, and the shipper, to end up in "hot water."

 In Yoga meditation, we look for answers within, and open our self-awareness, but we still have to relate to those around us. Relationships are a mystery to some of us, while others handle relationships like an art form.

 Is there a need for certification and standardization of Yoga teachers? How can you make the nine main Indian forms of Yoga, and their sub-styles, conform to a measured standard? Who should control and regulate Yoga?
Certifications, and attempts to standardize Yoga, are in their infancy. Yoga has existed quite well without bureaucracy for thousands of years. Certification is a new concept, but has gradually grown as classes became more public.
Instead of teaching small groups in a basement, Yoga teachers have seen their class sizes expand into large public areas. With this newfound popularity came a twist. The board of directors, and the owners of large public areas, often request certification as proof of proficiency; and sometimes, they require instructors to be insured.
This is understandable because the owners or managers of a building do not want to incur legal damages for negligence. To deflect the wrath of liability lawsuits, certification has sprung up in every art, trade, and industry.
If you were about to hire a landscaper, you would likely feel relieved to see the words: "Certified, |
