About the yoga teacher training
This yoga teacher training is for you if;
.You seek a training that is run using the precepts of respect, fairness and integrity towards all invloved
.You and are seeking excellence and depth in
your
understanding of yoga, and wish to see yoga teachers respected as
experts in their field.
This yoga teacher training will have a strong focus on injury prevention , and yoga
for special needs. As a result of this training, you will understand how to create a practice that addresses specific areas of tightness and/or weakness for each individual student...not just how to teach a generalsed yoga sequence with a 'one-size fits all' attitude!
The Level One 200 Hour training leads into the Level Two 300 hour training
which has a strong focus on Yoga Therapy. Level Two begins in 2012; for more info please select Level Two from the left hand menu.
There will be a pre-requisite level of self awareness required,
supported by at least two years of dedicated consistent yoga practice
to be accepted as an applicant for this training.
Schedule
This is an intensive, immersion style format training.
Study days run from 6.30am-6.30pm most days with a total of 2-2.5 hours
breaks. Saturdays are included in the schedule, but Sundays are rest
days.
The first day of each module is an orientation day only.
Each module opens with opening circle followed by dinner on the first
Sunday evening at 6pm. Training days run from the first Monday through
to the final Saturday, and we leave the last Sunday morning.
Course ContentPractical Techniques
The training will include daily dedicated meditation,
pranayama and flowing vinyasa asana practice with a firm foundation of
awareness of alignment in the postures, and the connection between the
body, the breath, and the state of mind. We will cultivate the witness
within, and work at all times with an attitude of honesty and genuine
self inquiry. The practice will be a fusion of hatha, vinysa and kriya
yoga, that brings awareness to both the dynamic and the subtle sides of
our being. ('Therapeutic Vinyasa yoga'). The asana practice will be
strong and dynamic, but with a focus on finding our own safe and
beneficial level within the practice. Mantra, mudra and bandha will be
practised, as well as the hatha yogic cleansing practices (shatkarmas).
Yoga for Special Needs
Prop-use, Alignment and Adjusting Skills
We will cover a thorough grounding in understanding how yoga
works on the body-mind complex. There will be many classes dedicated to
fine-tuning our understanding of each pose within the major asana
groups, practicing alignment skills, prop work and modifications, and
the skills of both verbal and hands-on adjusting.
Sequences for Special Needs
As well as detailed analysis of all of the major postures,
there will be nine sequences for special needs, as a feature of this
training. These sequences work on the common patterns of tightness and
weakness, and can be used as suplementary practices to work on specific
areas of the body. In this way we gain strength and freedom in the more
classical dynamic vinyasa asana practice without injury.
For a sneak peak at one of the sequences, see the Teacher Training Overview page.
Teaching Skills and Practice Teaching
As well as the specialised classes on prop-use, alignment, and
adjusting skills, you will learn to practice adjusting and assisting
within a class setting. You will start to practice teaching skills by
simply teaching a single posture, and throughout the course will learn
the skills of sequencing, voice production and modulation, and the
skills of presenting and teaching a class. There will be many hours
dedicated to designing your own sequences, and teaching them in pairs
and in small groups, giving and receiving feedback from others in the
group. By the end of the course you will have achieved the confidence
that hours of teaching practice brings.
History and Philosophy of Yoga imageRishi Nityabodha and students 2010History and Philosophy of Yoga
We will be studying the history of yoga, comparing the major
darshanas of Samkhya, Vedanta and Tantra, and look at the branches of
yoga and understand their key points of difference and their
application. We will study the classical text of the Yoga Sutras of
Patanjali, picking out key sutras and applying them to our personal
unnderstanding as we develop our journey through yoga. We will touch on
the Vedas and Puranas, looking at key principals of understanding that
underpin yogic thought and lifestyle. We will also look at the
connection between Yoga and Ayurveda.
Anatomy and Physiology of Yoga
We will also study anatomy and physiology of hatha yoga: both
learning about how the physical body works, and the yogic application of
such knowledge, and the understanding of the 'subtle anatomy' of the
pranamaya kosha: nadis, pranas and chakras.
Anatomy and Physiology will be taught as an integral part of
the training, in a way that applies our understanding of the body in the
yoga asanas to an exploration of the bio-mechanics of each pose. Russel
Young will teach an in-depth understanding of the musculo-skeletal
system, and Flo will teach the anatomy and physiology of the digestive,
respiratory and cardio-vascular systems as well as the physiology of
specific muscles as they come up during asana practice and exploration.
Injury Prevention will be taught as a key part of this module,
developing and understanding of the do's and dont's of yoga asana
practice and the long term effects, particulalry on joint stability, of
certain practices and adjustments.
Voice Production and Modulation
When we teach a Yoga class we set the tone and hold the
'resonance' with the use of our voice. The language we use, together
with the sound of our voice directly impact on our students kinisthetic
experience.
We can learn how to posture the vocal apparatus to resonate
optimally to communicate with clarity & reflect the intention in our
hearts when teaching yoga.
In the training you will receive
• An understanding of the anatomical and energetic underpinnings of your voice.
• A brief assessment of your voice production in conversational, teaching and chanting voice.
• An opportunity to identify your own vocal goals and receive individually tailored guidance in achieving these.
• Reproducible techniques to find more warmth, clarity,
presence, projection, flexibility, power, and endurance in your voice
• An understanding of the effects of vocal characteristics on your teaching
• A simple & highly effective vocal warm up, that you can
reproduce and continue to practice to develop your voice.
• An experiential understanding of the connections between the chakras and the voice
• An introduction to the effects of particular yoga asanas, pranayama, mudras on the voice
