In this article, you will be reading about Yoga education courses. On completing any one of the courses mentioned here, one will be eligible to work as Yoga instructor.

All of this started when I wrote and published an article about Diploma in Yoga education course. After reading details about that course, people have been asking me to list even more Yoga courses! So, here it is! I’ve created a list in this article.

Yoga education courses

Basically, courses can be divided into three formats-

• Certificate
• Diploma
• Bachelor’s Degree

Certificate courses are of short duration. They typically last between 3-6 months. Of course, there exist some certificate courses, which are of longer duration.

Diploma courses are more valuable than certificate courses. Typical Diploma in Yoga Education course lasts for a period of 1 year.

Bachelor’s Degree courses are the best among all. They are detailed programs. At the end of it, successful graduates will be awarded a Bachelor’s Degree! Duration is 3 years.
