Yoga Teacher Training Details

Teaching Methodology is the study of the unique teaching techniques used to successfully guide students into postures. Using a variety of proprietary and stimulating exercises, you will quickly master the teaching dialogue, and you will study demonstration, observation, assisting/correcting, personal teaching style, qualities of a teacher, and the student's process of learning. Stressed is the FIRE Series' teaching script used to effectively teach individuals or groups, proper pacing for each posture, voice projection, articulation, student inspiration, when to use and how to make safe hands-on corrections, and how to maintain the energy of the group. Non-contact hours are approximate, and based on personal study of the teaching script.

Meditation is a requirement that can be earned in or outside the EWNH Yoga course. Trainees may find an experienced teacher outside of the training program
to study a technique. Non-contact hours should be acquired with regular daily meditation practice. Suggestions for local meditation centers are provided in
the online resource center, which you will be able to access as a Teacher Trainee.
