Yoga Teacher Training in India would be the best option if you want to become a Certified Yoga Teacher. Nothing can be better than becoming a Yoga Teacher from the place where Yoga originated from. There are many Yoga Centers focus on minting money and not giving proper teaching. Hence I'm writing this article to make everyone aware about Do's and Don’ts.
You can do it from many places in India -
Dharamsala - It is near the Himalaya, on mountain ranges. Most of the centres are in McLeodGanj. You would love this place if you like peace, serenity, hill stations, mountains, and greenery. There is a Dalai Lama temple in McLeodGanj which is an attraction place.
Goa - This place is known for parties and chilling in India. Goa is surrounded by beaches and can be a good destination for learning yoga is you like beaches, and partying and loud life.

Kerala - Kerala is a very beautiful place, if you love nature, you'd love doing yoga in nature. It is knows for their forests, backwaters and tree houses. It is called the Venice of East.
Things of take care before joining a Yoga Teacher Training Centre in India -
Teachers - Please check out every teacher profile for whatever school you are opting for. This is very important cause, better the teachers, better you experience would be.
Accommodation - Check the accommodation pictures on the School's website, it they have not put any pictures, do ask for pictures so that you have a rough idea of where you are going to stay.
Food - Do recheck with them about what type of food they provide and what all options are available nearby.
Batch size - I personally feel that the batch size should be around 15-20. It should not be less, cause it will not provide that exposure of meeting new people and narrowing the cultural difference and it should not be more because you won't be able to focus of everything that is being taught. Hence make sure you confirm the batch size before joining.
Certification - Make sure that the school is certified by Yoga Alliance or any other reputed organization.
Reviews - Please in the end go through about what student reviews. Watch video reviews cause written reviews can be forged.
