- Yoga philosophy & history: from ancient roots to present-day relevance
- Anatomy & alignment: how the body moves, where it thrives — and how to teach safely
- Teaching methodology: cueing, sequencing, voice, class flow, student engagement
- Asana practice & adjustments: mastering key poses, understanding variations, hands-on assists
- Pranayama & meditation: connecting breath, mind and body; cultivating presence
- Ethics & the business of yoga: from yogic values to building your teaching practice
- Modifications & special populations: making yoga accessible for all ages, body types and abilities
Who Should Apply?

- Aspiring yoga instructors who wish to teach confidently, consciously and with heart.
- Anyone who believes in the power of yoga for personal change, community and connection — even if teaching isn’t the main goal.
