Yoga Teacher Training Outcomes

YogaAlliance requires all Registered Yoga Schools to spend hours on specific core competencies. Here’s what that looks like in our teacher training program.  

 

Techniques, Training, Practice

Asana You’ll earn 80+ basic yoga postures and variations of the Hatha Yoga tradition withan emphasis on the vinyasa style of practicing. Other variations including Yin, Somatic,  and Restorative yoga will be included in your asana training.

 

Pranayama and Subtle Body

You will learn breathing techniques, including energy regulation and how subtle energies influence your overall physiology.  Learn how breathing is a whole body experience via the major systems: musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems, and less-often emphasized fluid, facia, organs, and glandular systems of the body.

 

Embodied Approach

We use basic human development and embryology as models for class development. With an emphasis on experiential teaching, learn how to effectively guide students through their experience as a sensory exploration.

 

Meditation

We’ll discuss historical and foundational elements of meditation and mudra as understood through the 8 limbs of yoga and the yoga sutras. We’ll explore how basic meditation techniques and modern approaches of mindfulness and neuroscience intersect with supportive texts from classical teachings.

 

Anatomy,Physiology and Biomechanics in yoga

Utilizing an anatomy text created specifically for yoga teachers, we’ll gain the foundation for understanding anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics as it relates to yoga. We will take these concepts into the classroom for hands-on inquiry of how and why yoga postures feel the way they do in the body. Look closely at the anatomical principles that will help you feel postures from the inside out, visualizing muscles, bones, connective tissues and organs at work.

 

Yoga Humanities

Curious how this ancient practice continues to be relevant in today’s world?  You will learn the basic timeline of yoga’s story with an emphasis on the Hatha period of yoga. We use major yogic texts and variations of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, The Bhagavad Gita, The Hatha Yoga Pradipika andThe Upanishads to teach us the traditions of our lineage.

 

Philosophy

There will be plenty of opportunity to grow in your “love of wisdom” through guided self-reflection and exploration exercises.  You will learn how to integrate the basic wisdom teachings into the way you practice, teach, speak, and live in the world.

 

Ethics

Build integrity in your own practice and teaching by studying the guiding ethical principles of the core philosophies of yoga. Commit to the ethical considerations that arrive in today’s world. We will discuss accountability, self-reflection and how to increase equity and diversity in yoga.

 

TeachingMethodology

Learn how to safely and effectively create, sequence and teach entire classes.Experience how pace, cueing and language affect the overall experience of each class and how to modify to meet your audience and help them grow. Learn how to create a safe, welcoming environment and manage the varied group dynamics that show up for class.
