About the course
Becoming a great yoga teacher first requires that you become a great student. You must learn to both follow and give instructions. You need to understand and practice the foundations of yoga before you can teach others.
In this comprehensive 200-hour training course for beginning yoga teachers, you will learn how to teach yoga by developing your practice and relationship to yoga. You will learn the rules, the basic teaching concepts, the fundamental techniques all teachers must know, and most importantly you will begin to know yourself. You will gain the confidence to clearly instruct others in the practice of yoga as you develop your own practice skills. You will discover not only the “how” of yoga but the "why." You will learn to safely instruct students in asana and pranayama through a good working knowledge of both functional western anatomy and yogic anatomy.
The course is specifically designed to begin with the fundamentals of yoga and to lay a lifelong foundation for its study and practice. It is the first step for any yoga teacher, regardless of interest in a specific style or approach, and the beginning of a new way to relate to yourself and the practice of yoga.
