Core Competencies for Asana Teachers
Yoga practice is to be tailored to the individual, yet it tends to be taught in a “one-size fits all” approach to people with different needs and abilities. In this course, learn specific teaching strategies that allow each student in your classes to make the practice their own. Learn to speak in a way that drives each student to take an active role in their practice in a specific way, thereby realizing the potential of the physical body to provide context for an authentic yoga practice in its most pure form.
