This should be considered before embarking on any Yoga Teacher Training. I think that it is more important to have a daily practice or start doing one than the ability to do advanced asana, although a certain level should have been attained, at least a level two in classes. However the ability to have an open mind, strong body and a great desire to learn and good knowledge of how your body feels when <a title=\"Learn to Play with Your Yoga Poses\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/learn-to-play-with-yoga-poses\">practicing asana<\/a> is a great starting point too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who have discovered in your heart the burning passion for Yoga and feel ready for Yoga Teacher training in India, at Sushumna Yoga; there are two upcoming events that may interest you:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1)&nbsp;Sushumna Teacher Training &#8211; 300+ Hours<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates:<\/strong>&nbsp;3rd November &nbsp;to 1st of December, 2013<br \/>\n<strong>Place:<\/strong> Sushumna Yoga retreat in Goa, India<br \/>\n<strong>More information:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sushumna.in\/teacher-training-overview.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Click Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>2) 100 hours Yoga Immersion&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brief:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yoga Immersion in Vinyasa and Yogic philosophy with Shree pandit Anand acharya semalty and Sushumna yoga founder Sonja Appel.<br \/>\n<strong>Dates:<\/strong>&nbsp;12th to 26th January, 2014<br \/>\n<strong>Place:<\/strong>&nbsp;Sushumna Yoga retreat in Goa, India<br \/>\n<strong>More information:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sushumna.in\/sushumna-yoga-retreats-in-goa.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Click Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For particular actions in our life, we know exactly when we are ready because nature or social conventions taught us so: kids are ready to go to school when they turn 6 or 7 cherries are ready to be picked when they have a reddish color the baby is ready for the night sleep after [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_cloudinary_featured_overwrite":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[73],"class_list":{"0":"post-655","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-yoga-courses","8":"tag-yoga-teacher-training"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5749,"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655\/revisions\/5749"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
