How do I find the right yoga teacher training in Zurich?
Starting a yoga teacher training is a special step.
Whether you feel the desire to teach in the future or simply want to dive deeper into your own practice – this decision brings change.
Maybe you already feel the inner calling, but you ask yourself: Which training is truly right for me? How do I find my path among all the possibilities?
This article aims to help you find clarity – not through checklists, but through mindful questions, genuine guidance, and a compassionate look at what you are truly seeking.
Why are you interested do a yoga teacher training?
Before you focus on schedules, certificates and content, ask yourself a simple question: What is my inner reason?
Do you want to:
• deepen your own practice?
• learn more about yoga philosophy, breath and meditation?
• share your experience with others and teach in the future?
• understand yourself better and experience transformation?
Your answer does not need to be perfect. It may change during the training. But it is an important compass on the way to the right decision.
What formats and time models are available?
Not every training is structured in the same way, and that is a good thing. In Zurich there are different models that meet different needs:
• 50h trainings: Ideal for beginners or as a gentle introduction to teaching yoga.
These formats often take place on weekends or are offered in a compact way over just a few days.
They are also excellent for already certified yoga teachers as further education, especially if you want to learn a new technique without going through an entire training curriculum.
• 200h trainings: The classic foundational training. Covers all core topics such as asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy and teaching techniques.
• 300h advanced trainings: For those who have already completed a 200h training and want to further specialize.
What is important to you in a training?
Beyond content and scope there are other, often even more important aspects that determine whether a training is truly right for you.
Ask yourself:
• Do you feel seen and addressed by the teacher?
The connection with the teaching team is essential as you will spend a lot of time with them.
• How does the place feel?
Do you want to study in a quiet studio in the city, in nature, or partly online?
• Is there space for your own development or only input?
A good training does not only provide knowledge but also creates space for personal experience.
Your feeling is often clearer than your mind. Trust it.
Not all trainings are the same
Today there are many trainings, but not all of them truly take you deep.
How can you recognize a training with substance?
• It has a clear foundation
• It offers real practice, not only theory
• It conveys not only knowledge but embodiment
• It inspires you to teach authentically, not to copy
• It remains non dogmatic, with space for questions, doubts and growth
A training is not only a certification. It is an invitation to discover your own inner voice and to learn to follow it.
