TEACHER TRAINING SYLLABUS
Asana
How the physical postures should be performed and sequenced. Includes variations you can give to students who may need easier versions and progressions into the full posture. We will also cover how and when to adjust a students form.
How to instruct a class
You will learn the art of teaching, from sequencing, safe and affective alignment, hands on guidance, motivate and inspire students, teaching 'language', when to let students find their own way and how to manage groups with mixed levels of ability.
Anatomy, Physiology and Human Energy Design
How the body works and how yoga can enhance the various system within it e.g. muscular, skeletal, respiratory, endocrine etc. You will be able to explain the benefits yoga can bring to the body, mind, and soul.
The Chakra system
This energy system is a central concept that is shared throughout eastern approaches to health and well being . We think everyone interested in yoga needs to understand the critical difference between the tantric and classical yoga approaches to understanding, balancing and optimising the chakras.
Kundalini Energy Transformation
Often only covered in a mystical sense in standard teacher training course, we will explain what it is, how it can be safely activated and what to do with it.
Tantric Sanjeevani and Shambhavi Kriyas
Kriya is translated as “action” and is used in several different contexts in yoga. The Kriya’s you will learn are a series of seated exercises that will activate energy channels in the body. With only a short amount of regular practice you can experience the life changing effects of these ancient and incredibly powerful methods that will bring the theoretical concepts of the chakra system to life by making it something you have physically experienced for yourself.
Pranayama
Your breath is the link between body and mind. The benefits of regular pranayama exercise cannot be understated. The tantric methods have subtle but very important differences to those taught in a classical yoga approach. You will learn advanced methods for your own personal practice and basic methods suitable for using in a class or workshop.
Meditation
The pinnacle of all yoga practice, meditation is so simple, yet so challenging. Fortunately there are techniques in both the classical yoga and tantric schools that you can use to rapidly accelerate your own progress and when leading group meditation sessions.
Philosophy
Exploring the yogic concepts of the universe, our existence in it and most importantly, how to create a life of love and fulfilment. Introductions will be given to key classical texts such as Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra’s, and lesser known but equally important tantric volumes. This will include the 8 limbs of yoga and the 5 kosha’s.
Yoga History
From the original yogi's, known as Rishi's, right up to the all the weird and wonderful "styles" of yoga on offer today. Learn the often untold story behind the evolution of yoga and what the different approaches offer.
