What do you want to learn? Our programs are bespoke, designed with you in mind.
Teaching and responding to the individual person
Trainees will work with real students alongside the senior trainer in classes that are not ‘led’, but comprised of individual practice and teaching, in a group setting. Therefore, the trainee will have the opportunity to ask questions, practice teaching and adjusting under the direct guidance of the senior teacher on various bodies of varying age and ability. The teaching is client catered, progressing, and modifying the practice in the best interests of the client’s health and wellbeing. The purpose of this section is to promote learning through observation and direct instruction from the senior teacher as she works with real students. The trainee will be guided, observed, and encouraged to provide teaching and adjustments to the senior teacher’s students within the range and scope of their skills and confidence.
Skilful and intelligent sequencing
Lean to teach our signature classes at Yogahub. Working with our team of skilful senior teachers, we will teach you sequences for our most popular yoga classes and, support you in developing your own class plans. After this module you’ll be encouraged to fill in teach for staff teachers at Yogahub.
Deeper studies into the most important spiritual texts of yoga
This part of the program focuses on taking you deeper into Sanskrit chanting, Patanjali’s Sutras and Vedanta Studies. This is important because if a client asks a question about a philosophical/spiritual aspect of yoga, a competent yoga teacher will be able to answer it. In addition, yoga philosophy is deeply rich with wisdom that we can draw from to grow spiritually in the right direction. These ancient teachings are still highly relevant for making sense of the modern world today. Therefore, study yoga philosophy will also help you live a great life!
Therapeutic Specialities
This section offers trainees two speciality therapeutic modules to inform your teaching. Trauma in the Context of Yoga & Pain Science and Application to Yoga.
Practice
A requirement of the program is to devote some time to progressing in your own practice under the guidance of an advanced practitioner / senior teacher than yourself. There is no better person to learn from that one that has already walked the path before you.
