Lead a progressive shoulder-strengthening and flexibility sequence, demonstrating targeted anatomy work and safe preparatory progressions toward inversions and arm balances.

Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics	Identify the primary fascial lines—including the superficial back line, spiral line, and functional lines—and recognize their relevance to common yoga movement patterns and postural tendencies. Identify muscles, joints, and connective tissue structures most relevant to yoga practice, correctly stating each structure's origin, insertion, action, and relevance to common yoga postures. Apply knowledge of nervous system physiology to select and sequence breathwork and asana practices that shift students between activation and restoration states with intention and safety.

Yoga History & Theory	Create and facilitate a multi-modal subtle body healing session with a written plan stating the chakra focus, selected modalities, sequencing rationale, contraindications, and closing integration practice. Evaluate real-world teaching dilemmas using the Gita's framework of Dharma, selflessness, and non-attachment, applying its teachings to determine an appropriate professional response.

Apply a structured Vipassana-informed practice sequence incorporating Pranayama, concentration, and open awareness practices, demonstrating correct sequencing and appropriate verbal guidance. Evaluate the relevance of classical yogic concepts—such as Ahimsa, Maya, Prakriti/Purusha, or the Kleshas—for contemporary teachers working in diverse cultural and social contexts.
Lifestyle & Ethics	Design a complete Ayurvedic lifestyle plan that integrates Dinacharya, seasonal diet, Doshic-appropriate asana and pranayama, a self-massage or beauty practice, and a relationship or community (Satsang) element, with written rationale for every recommendation. Design and facilitate a Nada Yoga sound healing journey with a written facilitation plan specifying instruments used, frequencies or notes chosen, chakra or thematic focus, and safety considerations. Create and present a final Capstone Teaching Project—a live class, workshop, or community service offering—with a written plan, teaching documentation, and a personal reflection on the journey.
