As yoga is spreading across the globe as an essential knowledge, art and science to lead healthy and happy life; there is strong necessity of duly qualified and prominent yoga teachers. There are institutions that offer yoga teacher training for the enthusiasts that wish to embrace yoga teaching as their full time or part time career. 

The training program for the aspirants that wish to become yoga teacher would be designed to develop the personal expertise among the aspirants. The courseware would be designed to teach the advanced level of yogic techniques. The basic yogic procedures such as Asana, Pranayama and Dhyana that are regarding the bodily postures, controlled breathing for inducing energy of life within various parts and systems of the body and the meditation techniques would be briefed so that the aspirants can get proper command over these.

 

The major emphasis would be on the yogic philosophy, Ashtang Yoga derived by Saint Patanjali and Hatha Yoga derived by Swami Swatmarama. This knowledge and proficiency originates from India and the institution would be founded and organized by the experts in Yoga from India. The Yoga and Meditation School of India would design the courseware and spread the knowledge and experience to the aspirants across the world. The institution in Sydney and Melbourne would conduct training in the state of the art studio that would provide controlled ambience of 25⁰C.

 

It is rightly said that teaching is learning twice. At the same time the importance of personal proficiency of the teacher in the subject matter being taught and the ability to transform the knowledge to the students are also of utmost importance. The yoga teacher’s training conducted by the authentic institution would make the teachers prominent and proficient with various facets of yoga as the philosophy and practice. Thus the teachers developed through the institution would be better teachers in all respects.

 

Proper emphasis would be placed by the institute to let the students develop their own style of teaching. The same kind of knowledge and demonstrations can be presented in different ways. It would be important to make the presentations understandable for the students and similarly it would also be essential for the yoga teachers to help the students to attain the desired physical postures and breathing techniques. 

 

Teaching yoga would be a great blend of teaching theory and engaging the students into practical as well. Therefore the teacher must be able to make the students understand the concepts behind various yogic procedures known as ‘kriya’; and help them perform the ‘vinyasa’ that refers to breathing, meditation techniques and asana for best results. Rather than just dictating what to do; the teachers must develop the knowledge regarding why to do so as well.
