What makes Mind Flow Harmony Yoga Academy's 100-hour YTTC unique?

Introduction to their unique teaching methodology

Mind Flow Harmony Yoga Academy helps students to build a strong foundation through their three ways of teaching methodology: learn - experience - apply.

Core takeaways from the 100-hour YTTC in Rishikesh

In other words, the three ways of teaching methodology is theory - practice - teaching. First, through the conceptual learning of yoga and human anatomy, you will be able to see human anatomy from a yogic perspective. Then, all the knowledge you acquired will be practically taught, wherein you will practice asanas and correlate the concepts.

Last, once you experientially witness the anatomical relevance to your own postures, you will be encouraged to apply it through teachings.

Below are some of the takeaways from this three-core-teaching methodology:

Applied anatomy and therapeutic insights

You will gain knowledge of applied anatomy and therapeutic concerns, and how to construct well-rounded alignment-based yoga classes. You will learn about the origins and influences of yoga (history and philosophy), as well as how modern science and research have been incorporated into the practice.

You will be able to assist, modify and adjust in light of each student’s originality and distinctiveness. You will have the skills necessary to construct creative sequences and successfully guide students throughout the practices that will become an uplifting and healing process for them. You will also learn how to effectively support your students in case of difficult yoga poses and movements through the proper use of props.

Simplicity and practical emphasis

Anatomy is not about memorizing difficult scientific terms about your body. Mind Flow Harmony Yoga Academy's 100-hour advanced yoga anatomy and therapy teacher training goes beyond labeling. The anatomical technicality needs to be experienced. In simple words, when you have the relevant knowledge of anatomy, you will naturally do asanas in a conscious way. It will help you to get in tune with your body.

Once you have thorough applicable and experiential knowledge of anatomy, you will be able to guide others better.

Here’s more about how this course can be a life-changer:

Easy to learn!

Mind Flow Harmony Yoga Academy does not use complicated terms, as it is not a medical course. They teach with simplicity, and the focus is majorly on the practical aspect of it. Since the purpose of anatomy in yogic parlance is completely different from medical, their emphasis is more on heightening awareness about one’s own body.

This course is, in fact, an ‘applied yoga anatomy and therapy’ course for the reason that the very foundation is about the application of the knowledge one gains there.

Mind Flow Harmony’s experience and approach

Mind Flow Harmony has trained around 700 to 800 yoga teachers, and has also offered more than 60 online courses. After regular interactions, observations, and feedback from all the teachers, they have structured this course mindfully with a practical approach.

The teachers at Mind Flow Harmony teach from their own experience. They have gone through the phase of the student as well as the teacher. They crossed the limitations one faces in this subject themselves, which brought them clarity on how to impart this education so that one could comprehend effectively.

Boosting confidence as a yoga teacher

You will become more confident as a yoga teacher after this course! A yoga teacher requires basic information about how the human system works. For this reason, the relevance of this subject comes with two things: first, what anatomy is needed to know for the purpose of doing and teaching yoga; and second, how this knowledge is applied on the mat.

After this course, the whole approach of your teaching will entail a new dimension as you will be aware of various aspects involved in doing an asana.

Injury prevention and safety

You will save yourself and others from injuries that might occur while doing yogasana. At Mind Flow Harmony, they strongly believe that yoga teachers stand to gain a lot from the knowledge of yoga anatomy, especially enhanced safety and development for the teacher and their students.

This knowledge can automatically help them boost the effectiveness of the asanas while protecting the body from injuries in the best possible way. This improved injury prevention and faster healing will lead to a smooth transition while incorporating a yogic lifestyle.

Specialization in teaching with specific conditions

You will have a heads-up when you have to deal with people with some specific conditions, such as pregnancy, weak ligaments, lower back issues, etc. In these particular cases, some asanas need to be avoided, and some can be done with variations. After this course, you will be able to employ the best possible methods or variations for your students to practice.

Application of yoga philosophy

This course can bring clarity in and out, not only with respect to the human system but also the philosophy by putting it into the application as a part of yoga therapy. One will get to know the rationale behind yogic teachings.

Overcoming fear of injuries

This educational 100-hour YTTC is a way to surpass the fear of injuries. Some people, especially when trying advanced asanas, have an innate fear of possible injuries. This is a natural feeling when they are not very much aware of the human system, its movement, joints, etc.

Since Mind Flow Harmony Yoga Academy's applied yoga anatomy teaches all about the body with respect to asanas and gives the opportunity to practically witness it, teachers become more confident to take risks to try out advanced asanas. You will be able to figure out to what extent you should be pushing yourself to do an asana. This will lead to more freedom in your practice as you will not have to limit yourself due to fear.

Breaking physical limitations

With more practical and relevant knowledge, you will be able to break your old physical limitations and incorporate new ones as you progress. Your sense of alignment, movement, steadiness, stability, and balance will improve. This will also help you in creating better yogasana sequences for different kinds of people.

Enhanced ability to address student discomfort

With more practical and relevant knowledge, you will be able to break your old physical limitations and incorporate new ones as you progress. Your sense of alignment, movement, steadiness, stability and balance will improve. This will also help in creating better yogasana sequences for different kinds of people.
