How to teach Yoga

Effective communication is essential in becoming a great yoga teacher. Knowing how to teach different kinds of learners (auditory, visual, kinesthetic) is a skill that takes time and practice to learn. There will be many opportunities during the course to practice your teaching so you become adept in physical demonstration, observation, verbal cueing, adjusting, correcting and giving positive feedback. We will cover:

  • Teaching and learning techniques – auditory, visual, kinesthetic
  • How to give appropriate hands-on adjustments
  • How to use positive reinforcement and alter tone of voice accordingly
  • How to teach one to one sessions.
  • How to sequence and teach a 60-75minute Vinyasa Flow yoga class
  • How to sequence and teach a 60-75minute Hatha yoga class
  • How to sequence and teach a Back Care class.
  • How to sequence and teach a Restorative class
  • How to integrate a pregnant student into a regular yoga class (including Vinyasa Flow).
  • The Ethics of Teaching  – including understanding the teacher-student relationship


The Business of Yoga

In the Western hemisphere the yoga industry is a competitive one and it can often be challenging to find  balance between your own practice and earning a living whilst staying true to the yoga tradition. We discuss this work/life balance and talk about how to effectively market yourself as a yoga teacher. This module includes:

  • What to include on your website depending on what you want to achieve
  • How to write a CV.
  • How to write a waiver and health questionnaire
  • A list of websites where you can advertise your yoga services for free
  • Setting up your own classes versus flat rate pay classes
  • What to look for when hiring a space for classes and one to ones
  • Applying for work to yoga studios and gyms
  • Working out your demographics and possible teaching niches within that.
  • How to get teaching insurance


Home study and self-practice

Your success on this course will largely depend on your study and self-practice outside of the class room. During the contact hours of the course we will practice yoga together but outside of these hours you will be expected to cultivate your own practice. In addition to this you will have several assignments and assessments. These include:

  • A practical assessment in which you teach a forty five minute Hatha or Vinyasa Flow class.
  • A written Anatomy and Physiology exam
  • A written theory yoga exam covering all aspects of the course.
