Program Outline:
Specialized Yoga Programs
Students work in small groups to create specialized yoga programs for particular settings, such as health care, yoga for children, seniors, stress management, fitness, creative arts, etc.
Understanding the Context of Yoga
Students explore the yoga tradition, including its history, philosophy, and psychology. Materials such as Patanjali s Yoga Sutras come to life in a way that brings depth and meaning to yoga classes, making them more creative and, at the same time, more deeply grounded in the tradition of yoga.
Whole Person Approach to Yoga
Learn to teach classes that involve your students at every level of being, using the structure of the five koshas and understanding the benefits of yoga for the physical body, the chakras, mind, emotions, and spirit.
Learn to Teach at a Wide Variety of Levels
Beginning with chair yoga and continuing up to a dynamic vinyasa series. Each series comes with posture charts, enabling the student to have ready-made sequences or to use them as a foundation for creating their own series for particular situations.
The Art and Science of Teaching
Learn key teaching concepts such as sequencing, pacing, adjustments, classroom organization, voice quality, instructions, values and qualities of the teacher, and business practices.
Yoga as a Vehicle for Health and Healing
Develop an approach to teaching within the yoga therapy vision, including special sections on yoga for back care and stress management.
Understand Health and Illness
Learn the nature of health and illness from the yoga perspective. Discover the effects of stress on the human body and ways to manage it with yoga.
Hands-on Experience
The internship portion of the program will give you the opportunity to apply the skills learned in the classroom in your community with the help of a mentor.
