What a training like this usually involves

A 200-hour yoga teacher training is the usual first level of teacher training. Most courses cover the same broad ground: daily practice, how to teach and cue the poses, anatomy, yoga philosophy, sequencing, and supervised practice teaching, finishing with an assessment. The hours include contact time with the faculty and, in most programmes, some reading and assignments done on your own.

This course runs as an intensive.

An intensive usually means full days of practice and lectures, most days of the week, back to back until the hours are done. It is the fastest route and keeps you immersed, but you need the time off work, and there is little room to absorb the material between sessions. Plan for tired legs in the first week and keep your evenings free for reading.

The style here is hatha and ashtanga vinyasa with ayurveda. A training mostly teaches you to teach the style it practises, so pick one whose classes you already enjoy taking. Read what Ashtanga yoga is and Ashtanga compared with vinyasa if you are unsure.

Questions to ask the school before you enrol

Who are the lead trainers, how many hours of the course do they teach themselves, and how many trainees are in a batch?
Can you see the full schedule and the syllabus, including how many hours go to practice teaching with feedback?
How is the course assessed, and what happens if you miss sessions or do not pass the first time?
The school describes its accreditation in its own words (quoted above). Ask for its Yoga Alliance school listing and check it yourself in the Yoga Alliance online directory before you pay a deposit.
What does the fee include (manual, materials, meals, lodging), and what are the deposit, instalment and refund terms?
Some details on the school's own pages are unclear or inconsistent (see the summary above), so ask for written confirmation of those points before you enrol.
Can you take a regular class with one of the trainers first?

How it compares with the other trainings we list

Location: 3 other trainings we list are in Metro Manila (AV108 Yoga School 200-Hr Ashtanga Vinyasa YTT, Inner Power Vinyasa 200-Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training and Treehouse Yoga 200H Yoga Teacher Training).

Fee: 8 of the 10 trainings publish a peso fee for the 200-hour course. The first figure each school lists runs from ₱75,000 to ₱120,000, and this one (₱85,000) is higher than 1 and lower than 4 of the others. Schools list early-bird, regular and instalment rates differently, and some include lodging or meals while others do not, so compare like with like.

Style: 3 other trainings we list also teach Ashtanga.

Format: across the 10 trainings we list, 4 run as an intensive, 4 on weekends and 2 online. The guide to becoming a yoga teacher in the Philippines explains how to weigh these against your schedule.
