Curriculum
We are dedicated to the ongoing professional and personal development of yoga teachers through in-depth yoga education and facilitation of each student's individual and unique growth. Yoga education involves both a careful study of yoga practices from eastern and western perspectives as well as the practical application of theories and teaching methodology presented. We have designed our program to facilitate your growth as a teacher in a way that informs your teaching and also empowers your independence as a yoga educator.
Technique (100 hours)
We learn 100’s of postures and various modifications and variations of these poses. We practice teaching from day 1, allowing our teachers to be extremely comfortable and skilled in teaching students during and following the program. We have a focus on meditation and believe a strong meditation practice positively influences and affects our personal practice and our teaching ability. The following is a breakdown of topics based on our full 200-hour YTT program.
Teaching Methodology (20 hours)
Participants will understand the sequencing and arc of a class, the kinesiological approach to preparing the body for safe and effective exercise and be able to develop and offer solid yoga classes to the general public. Regular postures clinics will provide demonstration and opportunity for practicing verbal teaching and physical assisting of yoga poses. You will learn how to structure a safe an effective yoga class allowing your students to feel properly taken care of and individually benefited. We learn pranayama techniques and its effects on the body as well as learning how to incorporate these techniques into your teaching and practice.
Anatomy/Physiology (25 hours)
Our team is skilled in offering anatomy and physiology thank you to our health backgrounds. You will learn not only the structural anatomy and physiology of the body but you will also learn how to apply this information to yoga. You will learn common misalignment problems and how to manage these issues. You will learn common medical and surgical conditions such as arthritis, herniated disc, high/low blood pressure, hyper/hypothyroid function, pregnancy, etc, their effect on the human body and how this information applies to yoga and is managed through a yoga class with a “therapeutic approach”. You will learn how to sequence classes and you will learn conditioning poses that will prepare the body for deeper poses thereby providing safety.
Philosophy, Ethics and Lifestyle (40 hours)
You will learn and discuss the idea of union; Union of mind, body, and breath. You will study the Eight Limb Path, inclusive of the Yamas and Niyamas (moral and ethical observances for the practicing yogi). You will explore concepts and ideas such as relative and absolute truth, chakras and nadis, therapeutic applications of yoga.
20 indirect hours of elective and practice teaching hours: In addition to 180 direct contact hours obtained during the training program (online or in-person), participants are required to log/journal 10 hours in practice teaching on their own.
