SATURDAYS - Teaching Essentials
This 6-week section of the YTT is a collection of all the most important discussion topics. Some example topics include:
SATURDAYS - Posture Clinic: The Art of Assists This 6-week section of the YTT provides in-depth exploration of how to provide quality, hands-on assists in the most common yoga poses you will encounter in a Vinyasa class. Anatomical focus of postures and effective hands-on- assists provide trainees with a deep understanding of the postures they will be teaching. SUNDAYS - Philosophy Flow + Sutra Discussion This 10-week portion of the YTT focuses on the guiding philosophical principles of the yogic tradition. Each week we will practice around the concept of a Yamas or Niyamas and follow practice with a discussion about the yoga sutras and how to apply these principles to daily life. SUNDAYS - Practice Teach This 10-week section of the YTT is dedicated to practice teaching the assigned set sequence. Students will have the benefit of immediate and thoughtful feedback to help develop their teaching skills. |
