Advanced Yoga Teacher Training ॐ Yoga Alliance RYT 300 creating RYT 500
5) emphases of our advanced teacher training:
1) Inner development: advancement in yoga is most importantly in the nervous system; therefore we emphasize the practice and teaching of breathing techniques and meditation
2) Strengthen a broad skill set, including teaching workshops: it takes a variety of skills to teach others: touch (bodywork, anatomy), communication (NVC), understanding (yoga sutras, sanskrit) and assessment (yoga for individual needs). Become confident teaching workshops by doing them onsite, with feedback.
3) Develop one-on-one teaching skills: for whom and when is a yoga tool indicated?, how do I design a realistic home/office practice for someone? How do I work with pain, or special needs?
4) Develop your personal group class format build from our accessible yoga 1 class to a next format (more athletic, more restorative, inner techniques, hot yoga, etc) of your own inclination with a practicum that includes feedback and supervision.
5) Ayurveda teaches for whom and when something is indicated. This “science of life” is the superset of yoga, the medical system that instructs how to adapt postures and breathing techniques to individual needs.
