One of the best things about yoga is how involved its philosophy actually is. Yoga has eight limbs, or practices, that are intended to guide those who desire in every area of life. We’re big fans of asana, or the limb of yoga most of us know as yoga poses, but some teachers prefer to focus more on meditation or breathwork.

The purpose of yoga is to train the mind and body in a way that we become self-aware, and with so many limbs, all yoga teachers have the opportunity to help students to achieve this goal in their own way. Have you ever thought about becoming a yoga teacher? If so, consider checking out one of these teacher training programs:
