To date, there is no standard course to become a yoga teacher. Moreover, the teaching of this discipline is not regulated in France and its practice does not require a specific diploma. On the other hand, there are various training courses that teach the principles and precepts of this ancestral Indian art in order to be able to pass it on to as many people as possible. Although there is no need for a diploma legally speaking, training is nevertheless necessary to be able to teach this discipline correctly. Depending on the orientation, there are several forms of yoga: hatha, jnana, bhakti, karma, etc. The recommended training courses are those certified by the Yoga Alliance - an internationally recognised organisation. The first certification is a 200-hour training course called RYS 200hrs: 200 hours of teaching alternating practice, theory and yoga philosophy (intense training over 30 days or training spread over several weeks or weekends).

In private lessons at home or in group sessions, the yoga teacher introduces the discipline and shares it. This can be pre/postnatal yoga, relaxation yoga, children's yoga, senior's yoga, yoga for people with disabilities or overall yoga for adults/teens. During the sessions, the first thing he does after presenting the discipline is to lead the classes. After seeing the potential of his students, he adapts to the level of the group and gets down to business: - Rectification of the postures; - Preparation for meditation; - Work on breathing; - Philosophical and spiritual approach.

Contrary to popular belief, yoga is not a simple and easy discipline that can be started alone by following a video or a manual, for example. It requires a follow-up in the realization of the postures. In the practice of yoga, it is common to see people who suffer from muscular or back pain, neck pain or sprains because they have overexerted themselves or because they have not been accompanied by a yogi. It is necessary to be accompanied, especially when you are a beginner. If yoga is done without any care, it can accentuate postural defects. It is not really the posture that is risky, but rather the holding of the posture that can cause pain. In addition, there are types of yoga that are not suitable for some people. A physical assessment is often done at the first session to determine the appropriate style. Prenatal yoga will be different from power yoga, for example.

One can seek out a yoga teacher at any time to harmonise one's body and mind, to achieve physical goals through mindful postures and meditation or for many other reasons. There is no specific or ideal time to seek out a yogi; one will do so when one wishes, but there is also the issue of health for some people. In particular, yoga helps to free the body and mind from the stress that causes many illnesses.

On a directory like StarOfService, several yoga teachers offer their services to people who want to find a mind-body balance, maintain their shape and so on. They can find one in their area or city, and before starting a session, discuss with several of them who can help them achieve their goals.

In France, the average cost for a group yoga session is between €18 and €65. However, some teachers offer the same rate to each student even within a yoga class, for example 20 € per class, while others set rates per group, for example 110 € for a group of 7 people. In the latter case, the cost may be more attractive depending on the number of students. For a home yoga class, a session will cost between €55 and €65.

To choose a yoga teacher, you first need to know what type of yoga you want to practice. But generally in France, as in the whole of the West, postural yoga is the most practiced - asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing), like hatha yoga. In addition to the type, there is also the approach and the benevolence since it is not only a question of showing postures, but of accompanying each learner so that he or she can make the right gestures.
