What Will You Learn During the 2-Week Training?
The Basic Yoga Teacher Training covers a comprehensive range of topics to help you develop both your personal practice and your teaching abilities. Here’s a breakdown of the core components of the program:
1. Asana (Physical Postures)
Asana practice is the foundation of yoga, and you will learn how to perform and teach a variety of poses with correct alignment. Whether you’re learning the basics or refining more advanced postures, you will gain a deep understanding of each asana’s purpose, benefits, and modifications. In addition, you will also learn how to sequence classes effectively, incorporating different postures to create a balanced and mindful practice.
2. Pranayama (Breathing Techniques)
Breath control is one of the most powerful tools in yoga. Pranayama, or the practice of controlled breathing, is essential for calming the mind, increasing energy, and supporting mental clarity. During the training, you will learn a variety of pranayama techniques, including Ujjayi breath, Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), and Kapalbhati (breath of fire), which will help enhance your personal practice and bring focus to your teaching.
3. Meditation and Mindfulness
The practice of meditation is vital for cultivating mental stillness and awareness. You will engage in daily meditation sessions, learning various techniques such as guided meditation, mantra repetition, and mindfulness practices. These tools will help you deepen your own spiritual practice and also teach you how to guide your future students in their journey of self-discovery and inner peace.
4. Yoga Philosophy and Ethics
Understanding the philosophy behind yoga is essential for both personal growth and teaching. The training will include an introduction to the ancient wisdom of yoga, including the teachings of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and other classical texts. You will also explore the ethical principles of yoga (Yamas and Niyamas), which guide practitioners in leading a life of mindfulness, kindness, and integrity.
5. Teaching Methodology
Learning how to effectively teach a yoga class is a key component of this training. You will explore the art of cueing, how to create a safe environment for your students, and how to provide hands-on adjustments and modifications. This training is designed to give you the tools to teach with confidence, clarity, and compassion, while honoring each individual’s unique abilities.
6. Anatomy and Physiology
A solid understanding of human anatomy is crucial for teaching yoga safely. You will learn the basic principles of anatomy related to the yoga practice, including muscle groups, joint movements, and the importance of body alignment.
