What Yoga Teacher Training Should I Do? Lineage vs Style Explained
Many yoga teachers wonder: Do I need to follow a lineage or stick to one style to be a “real” teacher? In this episode we explore the truth about yoga lineage vs yoga style, how colonialism and capitalism shaped modern yoga, and why charismatic leaders can create both inspiration and red flags.
You’ll learn:
• What “lineage” actually means in yoga
• How styles like Ashtanga, Iyengar & Yin evolved
• The business side of yoga teacher training (and cult dynamics to watch for)
• Practical steps to grow beyond your 200-hour training with confidence
Whether you’re choosing a YTT, feeling boxed in by your training, or curious about the business of yoga, this conversation will give you tools to teach inclusively, sustainably, and with confidence.
