Additional Information

Core competencies

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

Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics
  • Explain the relationship between antagonist muscle pairs mechanically responsible for opposing movements as it relates to yoga asana.
  • Identify foundational restorative poses and the specific props required to fully support each and recall physiological benefits of restorative yoga (PNS activation, cortisol reduction, immune modulation).
  • Explain how relaxin affects joint laxity and stability across the entire body and describe the physiological rationale for specific prenatal modifications (left-side savasana, elevated props, breathwork adjustments).
  • Define somatic intelligence and interoception as distinct from proprioception, and identify the key somatic practices (body scanning, breath tracking, sensation-based cuing) and their neurological basis.
Business Skills
  • Explain how to build a sustainable yoga teaching income across multiple revenue streams and describe principles of ethical marketing in the wellness industry including transparency, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based claims.
  • Recall the ethical frameworks and professional standards relevant to advanced yoga teachers (requirements, scope-of-practice boundaries, mandatory reporting considerations, and dual-relationship ethics).
Lifestyle & Ethics
  • Explain how trauma is stored in the body and how yoga serves as a somatic healing modality through neuroception and co-regulation, and describe how language, assists, music, and environmental cues can support or re-traumatize students.
  • Identify the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and their elemental compositions, primary qualities, and bodily locations, and recall the Ayurvedic model of health (prakriti/vikriti), the role of agni, and the concept of ama.
Practice Skills
  • Recall the physiological and neurological states associated with the deep rest continuum—from active restorative practice through yoga nidra into delta brainwave states—and identify the teaching protocols that support each stage.
  • Explain how restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and sleep hygiene practices function as a continuum of nervous system restoration, and describe how each modality produces distinct but complementary effects on the body-mind.
Teaching Skills
  • Describe how MVP's block sequencing method can be leveraged to safely and intelligently sequence vinyasa classes that optimize the five movements of the spine, pelvic flexion and extension, shoulder flexion and extension/protraction and retraction/elevation and depression; explaining how these movements leverage anatomical orientation to maximize congruency of joints and overall stability in asana.
  • Design an original vinyasa flow in each sequencing style that illustrates the ease of use of the block method as it relates to vinyasa sequencing. Styles include one waterfall flow, one flow to peak and one mandala flow.
  • Facilitate a complete Yoga Nidra session using appropriate pacing, tone, and sensory language, and guide students through each stage of the classical eight-part structure.
  • Explain how adaptive yoga modifies the eight limbs of yoga—not just asana—to support practitioners with diverse abilities, and describe the psychological and social dimensions of disability that influence how a student experiences a yoga class environment.
  • Explain how to apply simultaneous multi-level instruction—offering foundational, standard, and advanced options within a single cue—without disrupting class flow or marginalizing any student group.
Yoga History & Theory
  • Explain how each chakra governs specific emotional, psychological, and physical domains and describe prana flow through the nadis and the Kosha model as a holistic health framework.
  • Recall the five pranas (Vayus)—Prana, Apana, Samana, Udana, Vyana—and their directional functions in the body, and identify pranayama techniques introduced in the 300-HR training and their primary physiological effects.
  • Explain how the five Vayus govern different physiological systems and how their balance or disruption affects physical and energetic well-being in a yoga practice context.
  • Define cultural appropriation and how yoga teachers can ensure that they are honoring history and lineage in their teaching practices.
