You will also discuss the impact of the Yoga Sutras on yoga and its development and the connection with yoga and religion.

You will also look at the individual demands of teaching yoga in the West, such as the physical stresses on the body from a predominantly sedentary society due to hours spent seated. You will also cover the evolution of the different styles of yoga and the impact on your practice.

The Eightfold Path and the Yamas and Niyamas

In this section, you start looking deeper at what the true meaning of yoga is and the 'Journey' of yoga. You look at the individual relationship with the practice of yoga and how that has developed and how it can develop. You will discover that the art of yoga is to reconnect the mind, body, and spirit and learn how to teach this to your students, and how they show this in their practice.

Throughout this process, you are given a lot of support, feedback, and encouragement to give you the tools to become a committed and authentic teacher, finding your own individual voice. You will also look at the role of Yin yoga postures, and how they differ from Restorative yoga in a class environment.

Dynamic Yoga Alignment, Adjustments, and Working with Chronic Pain

Safe alignment is vital for the well-being of their students, so you will look at the theory and practice of adjustment and alignment. Looking at contraindications to create safe teaching practices. The reality of teaching yoga is that the majority of your students will have some degree of past or present injury history; therefore, part of your training is designated to helping you understand how injuries leading to chronic pain develops and how you can help your students both physically and mentally to deal with their chronic pain whilst still enjoying the benefits of yoga.

You will also look in detail at the importance of props in our practice. And how and when to safely use hands-on adjustments.

Breathwork: Pranayama

Your breath is the corner of health and energy, without correct breathing, you will become sick and lacking in energy. Correct breathing in yoga is vital to enable the student to really connect with the healing practice of yoga. Here, you will cover different types of pranayama that are suitable to include in a class setting. The science behind the practice and the benefits of developing breath awareness and control.

You will learn how to teach meditation as part of a class or as separate workshops. You will practice meditation daily to also develop your own practice and fully understand the science and benefits behind the role of regular meditation.

Pregnancy and Contra-indications:

Yoga is for everyone, and illness, chronic pain, and pregnancy should not exclude people from gaining enormous benefits from the practice. Many 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training courses do not cover this area and therefore leave new yoga teacher teachers unprepared for the vastness of students' demands and levels.

As an experienced and qualified Yoga Elder and Author of 'Breaking the Attachment to Pain', Tandy from Yoga Shakti School is passionate about this subject and has spent many years helping people feel confident in the healing practices of yoga. This module will give you the skills to create a safe yoga teaching environment for all levels of students.

Psychology of Teaching and Learning Types

Here, you will look at the role of the teacher and how to work with the often complex demands of the student. You will learn about the psychology of growth and fixed mindsets and how that impacts your students' ability to respond to the teachings and grow in their practice. You will also consider how different students learn in different ways, and how you can help students really understand the teachings that you offer them.

The Power of Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a state in which the body is completely relaxed, and the student becomes systematically and increasingly aware of the inner world by following a set of verbal instructions. This state of consciousness is different from meditation, in which concentration on a single focus is required.

You will look at the benefits and uses of yoga Nidra in a class setting. You will learn the set sequence and how you can adapt it to fit the theme and length of your class.

Professional Development and Marketing:

The structure of this final module will depend on the goals of the student and therefore tailored to them.
