Should I Become a Yoga Instructor?

I think your story could be an inspiration to others practicing yoga. If the timing is not right you could end up putting yourself through unnecessary physical and emotional stress. This is something that only you and those closet to you can know for sure. Best of luck in the decision making process.

Well, I think you should def go for it if you can afford it. Meaning that if for any reason you have to cancel or are not able to fully follow through and leave because of your back pain (and therfore forefit the payment) then go for it. Otherwise paying that money and not being able to finish (when you are strapped for cash) could be challenging. Then again, follow your excitement! Sara http://yogatrainingguide.com

I think you should go for it. Yes, it will be an investment of time and money, but more importantly it will be an investment in yourself. It seems like yoga has been something really positive in your life, wouldn't it be great if you could share that with others as a teacher? Like you said, your sitter might be open to giving you a special rate for guaranteed business while you complete your training.

First of all, congratulations on rehabilitating your injuries through yoga! I have tossed about the idea of becoming an instructor myself at times, but the cost and time involved in training deterred me.

Maybe check around for different training programs that can be done at a schedule that fits you For example, does the studio or gym offer daycare while you're in those classes? Most instructors I've known were stay-at-home moms who started taking yoga to get themselves in better shape, and ended up wanting to teach, since they spent so much time and money on classes anyway! I think it would be fun, as long as you can find a way to make it balance with the rest of hyour life.

If you love it and it's something you really want then you should go for it! I know child care is an issue - do you have family and friends that you can rely on?
