This unit of study is an introduction to the basic principles and practices of yoga asanas (postures). Asanas can exert a powerful effect upon the body and the mind and therefore it’s important for a yoga teacher to be highly competent in their knowledge of the effects and contraindications of asanas and be skilled at assessing student needs and select appropriate practices. It is also designed to develop student’s own flexibility, strength and awareness while learning about the postures, and gain experience leading small portions of the class.
-
- Asana Level 2
-
This unit of study builds on the foundation of understanding of theories and techniques established in Asana Level 1. It explores more advanced and complex poses and their effects upon the body and the mind, and develops student’s capacities and skills in performing and teaching these asanas.
-

- Yoga Ethics & Lifestyle Practices
-
This unit will expand on practices pertaining to the notion of psychology in yoga. It will provide a practical understanding of appropriate mental attitudes and ethical behaviours from the yoga sutras for a mental wellbeing and a positive lifestyle.
