The Ultimate Guide to Teacher Training Manuals
Editorial Team
6 min read
The holy grail of the yoga business is the 200-Hour Teacher Training (YTT). At $3,000 per student, it is a revenue game changer. But it starts with the Manual.
Structure is Everything
Your manual needs to cover the Yoga Alliance categories:
- Techniques, Training, Practice (100 hours)
- Anatomy & Physiology (20 hours)
- Yoga Humanities (30 hours)
- Professional Essentials (20 hours)
Protect Your IP
Before you hand out PDFs, register your manual with the US Copyright Office. It costs $45 and protects your hard work from being "borrowed" by other studios.
Printing vs. Digital
Digital is cheaper, but students love a physical book. Use a print-on-demand service like Lulu to create professional-grade spiral bound manuals without holding inventory.
