COURSE CURRICULUM
Techniques, Training & Practice (90 hours)
This pillar immerses trainees in the hot yoga practice environment, where precision, repetition, and discipline form the foundation. Trainees develop embodied mastery of asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, and subtle body awareness under heat, learning to cue, sequence, and correct safely while maintaining class flow. Emphasis is placed on consistency of personal practice, breath control, and the integration of traditional principles into modern teaching, preparing teachers to hold space with authority and guide students toward transformation.
Anatomy & Physiology (30 hours)
Trainees develop a deep understanding of how the body moves, functions, and responds during sustained asana practice. Focus areas include skeletal alignment, muscular engagement, joint integrity, and nervous system regulation. Trainees learn to apply functional anatomy to cue with clarity, protect students from injury, and adapt for diverse needs. Awareness of cardiovascular, respiratory, and biomechanical responses in heated practice equips teachers to deliver classes that are safe, intelligent, and transformative, ensuring students thrive in every posture.
Yoga Humanities (30 hours)
This pillar situates trainees in the lineage and philosophy of yoga, exploring history, ethics, and the evolution of hot yoga. Trainees gain awareness of classical texts, asana origins, and teaching responsibility, while examining the intersection of tradition and modern adaptations. Deep engagement with lineage, ethical conduct, and cultural context empowers teachers to honor the roots of the practice while delivering authentic, meaningful classes.
Teaching Essentials & Professional Development (50 hours)
Trainees develop the skills to lead with confidence in both hot and non-heated environments, expanding versatility across yoga styles and settings. Training includes actionable teaching methodology, class management, observation, feedback, and professional ethics, providing a stepping stone for teaching effective classes. Trainees practice operational instruction, energy management, and room leadership, ensuring every class is structured, safe, and effective. This pillar equips teachers with the tools to deliver transformation consistently, uphold standards, and build a sustainable teaching practice.
