This section is devoted to your hatha practice. Each month you will study a section of Asana Practice, which includes a complete description of the asanas with detailed photographs so that you can study them while practicing. Your personal practice will evolve over the course of the program. We will be asking you to integrate and focus on specific asanas during each month. In addition to the Asana Practice section you will have access to recordings to support your practice. They will be guided sessions to take you step-by-step through the new asanas you will be practicing. |
This section will be devoted to developing the skills you'll need to become a successful teacher. It includes lesson planning, communication skills, different approaches for organizing and structuring classes, how to teach students on different levels, and guidelines for addressing the needs of specific student groups such as older or weaker bodies and students with physical limitations. We will also address business and financial questions, like how to find a teaching position, and how to open and expand your own center. |
For a hatha teacher the study of anatomy and physiology is essential, especially in light of the changing student population, many of whom are drawn to yoga for therapeutic relief of discomfort or physical limitation. Anatomy is the foundation upon which you will build your understanding of the mechanics of the hatha system. This section will include selected reading assignments, recordings, outlines and diagrams. |
