Plan

This teacher training is designed to create a balance between yin and yang. Therefore, Art of Yoga teaches both energizing Yang yoga (the focus is on Ashtanga and Vinyasa) and grounding Yin yoga.

Yoga technique

Art of Yoga will teach you about yoga techniques through philosophy, theory, and practical exercises. The techniques include:

• Asanas
• Pranayama
• Chanting
• Mantra
• Meditation

It is important to Art of Yoga that you both learn and understand each technique, as well as knowing how to develop your own sadhana practice and teach others.

Asana

You will study the asanas in depth, and you will learn how to teach both advanced students and students who are completely new to yoga. You will learn about benefits, contraindications, adjustments, as well as how you create a yoga sequence.

Pranayama

Throughout the training, Art of Yoga will share several breathing techniques with you. They will educate you about the benefits of pranayama, as well as how you integrate pranayama into your teaching. Among others, you will look at nadi shodhana, kapalabhati, ujjayi, and anuloma viloma.

Kriyas

You will also touch upon kriyas. Among others, you will look at how to practise jal neti, kapalabhati, and agni sara. Art of Yoga will talk about the benefits of these practices, as well as how to integrate them into your sadhana practice.

Chanting and mantra

Chanting and mantras are important parts of yoga, and there are countless mantras. You will look at several different mantras, and you will talk about the importance of both mantras and chanting.

Meditation

Meditation is an essential part of every yoga practice. In fact, many yogis believe that meditation is the most important part of a yoga practice. Therefore, you will talk about the importance of meditation and having a sitting practice. You will look at the benefits of meditation as well as how you integrate meditation into your yoga classes, and how to develop your own meditation practice.

Teaching

Art of Yoga will provide you with the necessary skills in order to teach yoga and share your own practice with others. They will share how to demonstrate asanas, how to observe students, and how to use both verbal and hands-on adjustments in your teaching.

Art of Yoga will also look at how you best communicate through language, choice of words, and voice. Together you will practise how you actually teach a class, and you will also learn how to meet every student’s needs. Furthermore, you will talk about the relationship between teacher and student as well as ethics.

During the training, you will also observe your fellow students teach and teach yourself. In fact, you will start teaching from day one, so you have plenty of opportunity to practise teaching in a safe and loving environment.

Lastly, Art of Yoga will look at how you actually start teaching. You will talk about yoga as a business, how to establish yourself as a yoga teacher, how to use social media for marketing, and more.

Anatomy and physiology

You will learn about basic anatomy. Among other things, Art of Yoga will teach you about the human skeleton, muscles, and the nervous systems, as well as how these are used and affected while practising yoga. They will also go over the cardiovascular system, the digestive system, and Ayurveda. Your anatomy classes also include classes about physiology, chakras, koshas, nadis, and vayus.

Yoga philosophy, lifestyle and ethics for yoga teachers

As mentioned, yoga philosophy is very important to us. It is of the utmost importance that you get an in-depth understanding of how yoga is a lifestyle, and how to practise yoga off the mat. You will go over the foundational yoga philosophies and texts, including the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and Hatha Yoga Pradipika.

Exam

Your 200-hour YTT will end with both an oral and written exam, where you will teach in front of your fellow students.
