Core competencies

By the end of this program, graduates will be able to…

Yoga History & Theory	Apply each limb of Patanjali's Yoga to a personal practice routine using one example per limb. Guide a short meditation that moves a student from sense withdrawal into focused attention. Build a short sequence that helps a student discover steadiness before ease.
Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics	Compare two directional terms that describe opposite positions on the body. Explain why the abdominopelvic area is divided into smaller regions. Describe how the vertebral column supports posture from the neck to the tailbone. Explain how the shoulder and hip joints allow a wide range of motion. Identify which muscle group is active during a specific standing pose. Build a modification guide that adapts poses for common joint concerns.
Practice Skills	Compare how alternate nostril breathing and equal breathing each balance the mind. Examine the cautions for each energizing technique to identify shared risk factors. Compare the tongue and lip positions used in cooling and hissing breath. Guide students to hold a grounding gesture during a seated meditation. Guide a student to use a heart centered gesture during a moment of grief or stress. Guide a student to hold a clarity gesture while setting an intention for practice.
Teaching Skills	Examine a planned cue for wording that could confuse or mislead a new student. Design a full class outline that moves logically from philosophy through anatomy to practice.
Lifestyle & Ethics	Compare non-violence and truthfulness to see where the two practices can conflict. Compare self discipline and surrender to see how they balance effort and release.
Business Skills	Build a simple policy document that defines scope of practice for a new studio.
