200 Hour BYB Yoga Recuperative and Beginner Teacher's Training programBYB Yoga Recuperative and Beginner Teacher's Training is a visionary program that goes beyond basic yoga instruction training and focuses on a level of training that will give the participant a capacity for creating appropriate recuperative and beginning level yoga classes. The BYB Yoga Recuperative and Beginner Teacher's Training program creates a teacher who can lead an appropriate level of yoga class for any student, ranging from those with significant physical limitations to top athletes. BYB Yoga Recuperative and Beginner Yoga Teacher's Training incorporates the latest scientific information to confirm the validity of yoga as an important tool for creating optimal muscular balance. The 200 hour Recuperative and Beginner Yoga Teacher's Training is a specialized training that teaches what each traditional yoga pose is trying to accomplish in terms of body mechanics and fully defines the strategies necessary to optimize body performance regardless of a person's starting point. In this program the participant will learn the history of yoga, the proper alignment of yoga poses, how to create lesson plans, how to teach safely, observational skills to assess the physical ability of the student, how to use a proper tone of voice, how to building rapport with students, how to managing a classroom, the business of yoga and marketing a yoga class. In addition the participants will learn detailed movement based anatomy and kinesiology and will practice assessment techniques to test a muscle's ability. Through a deeper understanding of muscular imbalances, participants will learn how to adapt yoga poses to a student who is at a beginner level or who has physical limitations. This allows the yoga teacher to modify traditional yoga poses to decrease or increase their intensity and to design and teach effective yoga classes for students with differing abilities and at different levels of development. The graduates of the 200 hour BYB training will have the tools necessary to become memorable instructors capable of offering distinctive classes designed to fit the needs of their students. Through the application of the techniques learned these instructors are able to adapt poses to almost any situation and offer various modifications to traditional yoga poses. All teacher trainings are ongoing. You can begin your training at any time. Upon completion of the 200 hour courses you will be a certified yoga instructor and can apply to Yoga Alliance for registration as a Registered Yoga Teacher. 2009 Schedule BYB Recuperative and Beginner Yoga 200 hour 6 month program calendar Jan - July (link to pdf) |
