I was perplexed by the significant price disparity between schools prior to enrolling in my 200 hour yoga teacher training cost. While some programs were significantly more costly, others were quite inexpensive. During the course, I had conversations with international students who described how the entire cost is influenced by things like location, the quality of the accommodations, the experience of the teacher, and the format of the course. Fees are typically higher for schools with private rooms, organic food, lower class sizes, and qualified teachers. Budget-friendly schools, on the other hand, could have lesser facilities but still offer high-quality instruction. After completing the training, I realised that authentic teachings, a supporting teacher, and a learning environment—rather than just luxury—are what truly provide value.
