Additional Information

Core competencies

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

Teaching Skills	Design a complete one-hour yoga class plan that includes a theme, a logical pose progression, breath practices, a meditation, time estimates, and modification options for each major pose. Apply a layered cueing approach in a taught class segment, integrating anatomical cues, action cues, breath cues, and experiential invitations to guide students through a pose sequence. Apply trauma-sensitive and accessibility-centered practices in a taught class segment, including opt-in cues for assists, clear modifications for common poses, and language that invites rather than directs.
Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics	Apply movement terminology accurately in verbal cueing, using directional and anatomical language to guide students toward safe alignment. Identify the structural components of the spine, the three main spinal regions, and the major muscles that move and stabilize the back. Identify the bones, joints, and primary muscles of the foot, ankle, lower leg, knee, and hip, including the structure and function of the knee meniscus. Identify the major divisions of the nervous system, including the autonomic nervous system's sympathetic and parasympathetic branches, and describe the basic anatomy of respiration.
Practice Skills	Demonstrate proper alignment and verbal cueing for a set of standing poses, showing awareness of student safety, breath continuity, and accessible language. Demonstrate correct alignment and safe verbal cueing for a progression of backbends from supported to deeper extension, including relevant modifications. Demonstrate a restorative yoga sequence using props correctly, cueing students through setup, breath awareness, and mindful transitions between poses. Describe the anatomical demands and contraindications of inversions, explaining which conditions require modification or avoidance and why. Demonstrate Surya Namaskar A and B with accurate alignment and clear verbal cues, and guide a small group through at least one complete round while offering modifications. Demonstrate pranayama practices with correct technique and clear cueing, noting each breath's appropriate placement in a class and its known contraindications. Guide a small group through a short meditation or mantra practice, using language that is clear, non-dogmatic, and suitable for students with no prior meditation experience.
Yoga History & Theory	Describe the three Gunas—tamas, rajas, and sattva—and explain how each quality manifests in the body, mind, and the rhythm of a yoga class. Describe the contribution of Patanjali in codifying the practice of yoga, explaining how the Sutras provide a complete map from ethical conduct through to meditative absorption. Apply the principles of a chosen Yama or Niyama to a teaching decision, demonstrating how yogic ethics shape language, sequencing, or student interaction. Demonstrate a short dosha-balancing yoga sequence by selecting appropriate poses, pace, breathwork, and language for a specific doshic focus.
Lifestyle & Ethics	Describe the history of colonization and cultural appropriation as it relates to yoga in the West, explaining why acknowledging this history is part of ethical teaching practice. Explain how a decolonial approach to teaching yoga—including attribution, ongoing learning, and humility—is itself an expression of the yama satya and the niyama svadhyaya. Identify the personal practices and professional boundaries that protect a yoga teacher’s long-term wellbeing, including clear scope of practice, emotional boundaries, and a consistent personal sadhana.
Business Skills	Apply mindful marketing principles to build a basic professional presence, including a teacher bio, yoga philosophy statement, and a plan for using technology such as social media and online scheduling. Explain how values-aligned communication—rooted in authenticity, cultural humility, and a clear sense of your teaching identity—attracts students who are genuinely well-suited to what you offer. Create a first-year professional launch plan that includes a teacher bio, a philosophy statement, an initial offering, a pricing structure, and a basic strategy for growing a local or online student community, and describe potential revenue streams including studio employment, drop-in classes, series, workshops, private clients, corporate wellness, online content, and community offerings.
