<prompt> Human: Im 31 and I have been wanting to travel to do a one month yoga teacher training for a few years now. Every year that goes by its gonna be harder for me to go and Im never going to be able to teach until I get my certification. To travel to Guatemala and do the one month training and have enough to cover my bills 2k for one month I am looking at a 7000 trip. No taking on more debt its not a great idea but I will regret not doing this for the rest of my life. Any advice or opinions, Im open to it all  <response>: My wife is a 200hr certified Yoga instructor. She has multiple certifications infant to Elderly and is fully insured. The total cost of her certs was under 2k, and her liability insurance runs about 250 per year. You can find many Yoga studios that will let you instruct on a limited basis and possibly even pay for your teacher training as long as you are insured many of the certs are dependent on verified hours instructing so its kind of a catch 22 anyway Spending 7k is ridiculous, you can find a studio hosting training almost anywhere and some of the foot in the door certs like 40hr etc. might run you 300.I cannot stress enough, if you are truly planning on being an instructor, get liability insurance. Most studios will not provide it and most will not let you step on a mat without it regardless of your certifications or hours teaching.Just for reference:
