Additional Information

Core competencies

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

Teaching Skills	Examine a sample set of yoga cues to identify the use of position language, paired actions, stabilizing cues, and potential crutch words or passive phrasing. Lead a class segment that demonstrates strong teacher presence by moving through the space, observing students, and delivering effective verbal assists. Set up and facilitate a yoga class environment that demonstrates skillful use of props, appropriate music or silence, and attentive observation of students. Set up and deliver a short online yoga class segment that demonstrates best practices for camera positioning, vocal delivery, and student engagement.
Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics	Design a class that prioritizes joint integrity and connective tissue health by incorporating stabilizing cues and appropriate load progression. Examine how proprioception and interoception work together to help students refine alignment, deepen body awareness, and prevent injury. Examine the common injury patterns associated with the hip, knee, shoulder, and wrist in yoga and connect them to specific movement habits or cuing gaps. Assess the breath cuing in a yoga class for accuracy, effectiveness, and alignment with the physiological and energetic demands of each pose.
Practice Skills	Examine common yoga poses to identify the key alignment risks, functional goals, and the range of appropriate expressions across different body types. Create a full yoga class sequence—including component parts, transitions, and integration—for a specific peak pose of your choosing. Adapt a Vinyasa-style class sequence into a Hatha format—and vice versa—by making intentional changes to tempo, transitions, and instruction style. Examine how different meditation styles—including open awareness and object-based meditation—affect the mind and suit different student needs. Explain how hormonal shifts, circulatory changes, and physical adaptations during pregnancy require specific modifications to standard yoga poses. Identify the three Ayurvedic doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and describe the basic qualities, characteristics, and common imbalances of each.
Yoga History & Theory	Identify the major ages of yoga history—from the Indus Valley and Vedic periods through the Tantrik, Hatha, and Modern Ages—and their key contributions. Apply a selected sutra as the thematic foundation of a yoga class, connecting its teaching to the physical and contemplative elements of the practice. Design a discussion activity or reflection exercise that draws on the Bhagavad Gita to help students clarify their own teaching mission. Explain how the subtle body framework—including the koshas, vayus, and chakra system—informs the design and intention of a yoga class.
Lifestyle & Ethics	Examine how systemic inequities—such as those related to race, gender, ability, and class—show up in yoga spaces and what a teacher can do. Explain how the yamas and niyamas function as a practical ethical and lifestyle framework that extends beyond the mat into daily decisions, relationships, and professional conduct. Explain how a trauma-informed approach reshapes cuing language, hands-on assists, sequencing decisions, and the overall atmosphere of a yoga class.
Business Skills	Explain how a yoga teacher's personal mission, teaching style, and target audience shape their approach to marketing and professional development. Explain how clarity about your ideal student—their goals, challenges, and language—shapes every aspect of your marketing, offerings, and professional communication. Explain how diversifying income beyond a single teaching format creates financial resilience and allows a yoga teacher to grow their impact over a sustained career.
