Overview
In this section of the 300-hour Advanced Yoga TT, emphasis will be placed on teaching clear and precise principles of alignment in both fast-paced movement practices and long-held supported practices. Other important topics include masterfully sequencing poses to attain a certain focus in your practice and teaching, learning to work with mixed level classes, and addressing common problems and injuries that occur in the intermediate and advanced level student.
The intent of this program is to advance and accelerate your practice as well as give you an opportunity to teach advanced-level poses including inversions, hip openings, advanced backbends and twists. You will gain hands on experience in adjusting and assisting students to move safely into these complex poses. Injuries and special needs will be addressed along with some meditation and breath work.
Important aspects of this training
1. Lesson planning and sequencing Learn how to plan lessons systematically and develop sequences for intermediate to advanced level students by choosing a pose you want to break down, or a category of poses you would like to work on, or even a style of practice you would like to introduce or develop.
2. Teaching skills
Learn to teach with enthusiasm, intelligence and presence. Because teaching is an art and a gift, we as teachers have a duty to protect our students and to keep them engaged in their practice. Learn to combine alignment details, safety, fun and humor as you teach so that your students benefit from an overall experience. Smart cueing, learning to communicate detailed instructions clearly, and voice management will be addressed.
3. Prioritization
To facilitate long-term growth in the practice, you will learn to evaluate what needs to be learned and in what order.
4. Seeing and understanding bodies
You will learn how to observe and understand different bodies both physically and energetically.
5. Adjustments
We start by using verbal cues to adjust students. After we see and understand the student’s body both physically and energetically, we use hands-on adjustments. Hands-on adjustments will be introduced and practiced in a thorough manner.
6. Special needs
You will learn how to work effectively with your students who have special needs.
You will have the opportunity to learn:
• How to teach intermediate and advanced level poses in the safest possible way
• Effective language to communicate instructions clearly
• Preparation of lesson plans and creation of exciting sequences from different categories of poses or methods of practice
• How to adjust with skill and precision
• How to safely take your students deeper into their practice
• How to work with musculo-skeletal problems in intermediate to advanced poses
• The importance of practicing and teaching breath work
• How to deepen your meditation practice and teach from your own experience
