Yoga Certifications – The Beginning of a Yoga Teacher’s Journey
Many people compare the Yoga teacher certification process to a big hurdle in life, but the day an intern receives his or her diploma, for teaching Yoga, is only the beginning of the journey.
Teaching Yoga Students How to Remove a Sense of Unworthiness
As a Yoga teacher, when we invite our students to enter deeply into the postures, we are also inviting them to allow memories and impressions to arise from within. These memories and impressions can span the entire duration of our lifetimes.
Prenatal Yoga Poses for the First Trimester
New practitioners should check with their medical providers and find classes with a teacher who has completed prenatal Yoga teacher training, if possible. Classes often turn into a support group where expectant moms can learn and share their concerns and knowledge.
Teaching Yogic Breathing Practices: Nadi Shodhana Pranayama
Often times, a Yoga instructor may find him or herself teaching a class to beginning students and may feel that including the practice of pranayama into an hour-long class may take too long and be too complicated for the students to absorb. It may also be the case that the Yoga teacher may not be that well versed in how to teach pranayama techniques.
Teaching Yoga for Student Safety
Student safety is obviously an important aspect regarding Yoga instructor training and education. After all, there are many different physical styles, from Hatha to Bikram, and they each have their own risks. A Yoga teacher should be well trained so that he or she can observe the students and help to prevent injury or exacerbate old ones.
Yoga After 50 Years of Age
As a Yoga teacher, you will often be faced with new people in your class that may be skeptical as to the restorative powers of Yogic techniques. Although it is not your job to convince them and convert them, you can help lead them in the right direction. There’s no doubt that the practice of asana, meditation and pranayama can help people, no matter what age they are.
Teaching Private Yoga Sessions for MS
During a typical 200-hour yoga teacher training, interns are so focused on foundational studies that ailments like neurological disorders are barely addressed. Multiple Sclerosis is one of the most common of the many neurological disorders.
Teaching Private Yoga Sessions: Pranayama for Stress
When taking your yoga certification course, you might not expect so many people to be stressed out. If you’ve been practicing yoga techniques for years, you might not feel the level of anxiety that you see in others. Regardless of how you handle daily problems, some people are walking an emotional tight rope, while they are barely managing to maintain their sanity.
Teaching Vinyasa Yoga: Precautions
As a yoga teacher it is important to protect your students and sometimes you have to protect them from themselves. Students who are pregnant should not be in flowing classes. Each yoga instructor feels differently, but do we really want to permit a student to get in harm’s way?
