On answering questions on “hours” of training needed to be an effective teacher …and why she does not dispense certifications for 200 hours (so far I have probably done 200 hours with Judith … never added the numbers …enjoying every minute as to learn from a teacher of your choice is to be privileged.)
Answer: While I was involved in the initial talks on setting standards by credentialing, to me, 200 hours is a joke. I feel that you need to have at least a BA in Yogic Studies – equivalent to a University Degree; then Masters to teach other yoga teachers; then a PhD to conduct yoga therapy.

In an ideal world … where going to college does not in debt students to a lifetime of debt repayment plan … where yoga teachers were actually able to make a decent living and be respected as a “real” healthcare professional in a world of alternative medicine. Working in collaboration with acupuncturists, chiropractors, herbalist, artists … Western & Eastern doctors … A Dream worth pursuing?
Yes:)
