About the Course

YogaVenue’s Spiralling Crow Teacher Training course offers you the skills, techniques and knowledge to become a Vinyasa Yoga teacher. This 250 hour course presents a practical foundation in Yoga from which students develop an understanding of the frameworks and building blocks of sequencing classes. While the course covers the essential Yoga knowledge of Asana, Pranayama, transitions, sequencing, philosophy, anatomy and energetics, equal importance is placed on developing your teaching style, and voice.

YogaVenue’s Spiralling Crow Teacher Training is certified by Yoga Alliance Professionals UK at the 250-hour level. 

Course Objectives:

We aim to facilitate your transition into an inspiring Yoga teacher. The course places great importance on the practical aspects of teaching Yoga, as well as understanding the management of the class itself. Our goal is for you be able to stand up and teach a Yoga class at the completion of this course with confidence and compassion. We strive to keep the content of the course contained, enabling you to use as much of the learning as possible in your teaching practice.

The Spiralling Crow Teacher Training Course includes the following areas of study:

•    Safety in the Yoga room

•    Student/people skills

•    Asana and transitions

•    Pranayama

•    Anatomy of poses and movement

•    Framework for class sequencing

•    Teaching technique

•    Teaching practice

•    Vocal work

•    Meditation

•    Philosophy, tradition and chanting

•    The subtle energy systems

Students will be fully guided by the course leaders, and supported by a course mentor throughout the training. The course is purposefully kept small with a maximum of 16 students.

What to Expect:

•    An intensive, rewarding 2 months of applied, relevant learning

•    Individualised attention from highly experienced instructors with a passion for teaching

•    A safe, supportive environment in which to fully explore your creativity, unique teaching voice and teaching style

•    A comprehensive understanding of the practical application of your Yoga knowledge

•    An understanding of how to develop your own Yoga class and sequences within a framework

•    The knowledge and skills necessary to confidently teach a 1.5 hour Vinyasa Yoga class

Prerequisites:

This is an exciting and intense course, and it is expected that students will commit fully for the duration of the course. Students must be able to participate in each day of the course; missing a day, days or part of days is not an option. Students must have an established Yoga practice of preferably at least three times a week as well as a solid understanding of common Yoga Asanas. 

Is this the Right Course for You?

This course is right for students with a desire to learn to teach Yoga with compassion. It is suitable for students who want to understand the frameworks and building blocks of sequencing classes, and for those who want to explore a creative approach to teaching while developing a unique teaching voice of their own. This course may not be right for students looking to further their individual Yoga practice.  It is also not the right course for students new to Yoga.
