What about the style of yoga we train you to teach?

 

The Yoga Education Institute trains yoga instructors in Hatha Yoga.

Hatha yoga is the science of physical and mental self-control through the practice of physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation.  This is the most common practice of yoga and has become a mainstream form of exercise in modern industrialized societies.

Within general hatha yoga there exists a number of variations that form their own distinct style, including:  

  • Ashtanga/Power: A physically challenging style of hatha yoga that focuses on developing strength and power through yoga practices that generate heat in the body.  Deep breathing is practiced throughout each session.  This breathing, along with the many strengthening postures warm the muscles, which are then deeply stretched near the end of the practice.
  • Iyengar: a very precise form of hatha yoga, concerned with repeating very precise movements within each physical posture and breathing exercise.  Postures are held for longer periods of time and each part of the body (down to the fingertips) has a precise placement within each posture.
  • Bikram/Hot Yoga: This is hatha yoga performed in a heated room (typically around 105 degrees Fahrenheit).  The purpose for practicing in a hot room is to keep the muscles warm and to flush out toxins through sweating.  This style is not recommended for children, elderly people, pregnant women or those with certain medical conditions.
  • Vinyasa/Flow: In this style of yoga, participants flow from one posture into another.  Although some postures are held for additional breaths, many of the exercises consist of one movement for one breath.
  • Anusara Yoga:  This modern school of yoga was started by John Friend in 1997.  The emphasis of this form of hatha yoga is on a set of universal principles of alignment, which underlie all postures, “heart opening” postures and the spiritual/meditative benefits of hatha yoga.  Joy in practice and in everyday life is an important underlying philosophy of this school.

There are also numerous combinations and variations of these styles and styles unique to certain instructors. 

In hatha yoga, you don’t have to change your spiritual beliefs or learn to chant in ancient languages.  However, some new students are still a bit anxious about what they will encounter in their first yoga class.  In this teacher training program, you will learn how to make your yoga classes accessible to a wide variety of individuals who may have no prior experience with yoga and who may feel nervous about what is involved.  We will outline for you exactly how to focus on the specific physical and mental benefits of yoga, while providing a safe and supportive environment in which your students feel comfortable trying new things. 

This program trains you to become a general hatha yoga teacher, but also includes some components of Satmati YogaŽ – the specific form of hatha yoga that we developed and teach.  The name Satmati Yoga was derived from the sankrit words “sat” meaning real, truth or good and “mati” meaning thinking power.  In Satmati Yoga, we focus on using the mind in specific ways to develop greater concentration and focus, keeping students in the present moment. 

Satmati YogaŽ is distinguished from other forms of hatha yoga by the integration of specific elements that are found in every level of class.  In the Satmati form of hatha yoga, we pay special consideration to incorporating flow techniques by first connecting breath with movement in the warm ups phase of class, and then sequencing class in a way that flows one posture into the next.  Regardless of the class, we follow the same general sequence, in which certain types of postures always precede other types of postures.  Proper sequencing helps students stay focused within a yoga class and increases the effectiveness of each posture. 

Though we focus on our particular style of Hatha Yoga, you will find our yoga teacher training program is complementary for most forms of yoga.  No matter what style of hatha yoga you teacher or intend to teach, we guarantee our teaching principles will help you retain and attract more students to your classes and help you teach with greater confidence and joy.

 

 

You may want to know more about my qualifications to train yoga teachers. 

I have been an advocate of yoga for many years as both a teacher and practitioner.  I am the founder of Yoga To Go - a yoga organization that brings simple and effective yoga programs to busy people around the world - and the founder of the Yoga Education Institute.  I am certified as an E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher Trainer through Yoga Alliance.  This certification indicates that a person has at least 4 years and 2,000 teaching hours beyond their initial yoga teacher certification (of course my experience far surpasses that amount).  I also developed our teacher training program that has earned the Yoga Education Institute the Registered Yoga School certification from Yoga Alliance.  In addition to teaching yoga,  I have a doctorate in education (health education) from Columbia University and spent many years teaching people about health and wellness, as well as developing health programs in university settings. 

 

Often fitness organizations will offer yoga teacher training programs in addition to group fitness instructor programs or personal trainer programs.  If a group's main focus is on other forms of fitness other than yoga, it may not fully prepare you to teach yoga in a variety of settings and situations.  It may adequately prepare you in the exercise science principles of yoga, but not in the philosophy and history of yoga as well as in meditation practices.  You can be sure that training with a dedicated yoga professional who focuses only on yoga and who will provide you with the skills you need to have a successful career teaching yoga.

How much will this program cost?

 

Though we could charge over $1,000 for this program, we really wanted to make it accessible to anyone interested in teaching yoga.  It's important to me to spread the benefits of yoga to a wide audience through new talented and inspiring yoga teachers.  So, that said, we have decided to offer this program for the low investment of only $267.

 

Often the tuition of a yoga teacher training program is just one of the expenses.  After you factor in the costs for travel, books, reference materials and any testing fees, programs can run as high as $10,000 when all expenses are included.  The price of our yoga teacher training program is $267 for everything you will need for your initial yoga teacher certificate.
