Why Become a Yoga Teacher Teaching any technique, skill or knowledge which uplifts mankind, is the most rewarding work possible. Teaching yoga, with its clear systematic approach, is satisfying because it allows you to help so many people improve their lives. Teaching yoga is right livelihood. This system of Hatha Yoga is dynamic and scientific and is based on precise alignment of the physical body to bring about harmony and balance of the body, breath, mind, and emotions. Its physical effects alone address the muscular, skeletal, glandular, nervous, circulatory, and respiratory systems. Continuing education (CE) credits may be obtained. 35 credit hours per week for "Drop-In" to teacher training classes, 24 hours for asana portion only. Not able to attend the entire course? Consider splitting your training over a 2-year period. We offer teacher training three times per year - Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Study of human anatomy and physiology as it relates to yoga
Study of yoga scriptures and ethics for yoga teachers The esteemed yoga scholar, Georg Feuerstein, has issued the challenge to all yoga teachers to gain an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy of yoga, in order to better understand the nucleus of Yoga: the Practice of Yoga.
Students are required to assist in 18 of the Academy’s public classes. These will be assigned to teacher trainees once final registrations have been accepted, a roster will be provided. For many this is the first time observing a whole class as a teacher – quite a different experience from being a student in the class. During the first month of the course you will be asked to simply observe. In the second month of the course you will be taught how to assist and adjust students. Please note all trainees will be introduced at the beginning of each class. All past teacher trainees have commented on how important this segment of the course is. Trainees will be teaching their fellow trainees right from the first day. The goal is to be comfortable in front of a group of students, and teach with clarity and confidence.

(registered yoga teacher) after their names. Successful teacher trainees will also be awarded a ‘Certificate of Attainment’ from the Academy of Yoga. If certification criteria are not met, teacher trainees will receive a ‘Certificate of Attendance’ (100% class attendance is mandatory).
