This unit is highly experiential and transformational, and is designed to develop your own flexibility, strength and awareness as you learn the postures. Asana 1 provides a nurturing and supportive environment for all students to cultivate presence as teachers in front of others, regardless of experience or ability. You will gain experience leading small portions of the class.

-
This unit of study will teach participants to perform basic functional assessments, determining where postural imbalances arise in clients, which muscles are involved and suggest basic postural corrections.
-
- Pranayama (Yogic Breathing)
-
Yogic philosophy and physiology regard the control of the breath as one of the prime means for achieving physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Pranayama, the fourth “limb” of yoga, is the science and art of establishing healthy breathing habits and the use of particular breathing techniques to facilitate a range of positive therapeutic outcomes. This module will train participants in the principles, practices and teaching of the more common pranayama techniques.
-

- Yoga Classes for Special Needs
-
Yoga is a journey towards personal re-integration of body, breath, mind and spirit. A sound assessment of student needs along with planning and reviewing of teaching is essential to guide students safely and effectively. This module explores the therapeutic applications of yoga for common health conditions and areas of special needs that a teacher may encounter in regular yoga classes. It aims to train students on how to tailor appropriate practices and structure classes for groups of special needs and to develop their knowledge on the indications and contraindications of yoga practices relevant to common health conditions. It will also increase their awareness of the role of yoga in the health care industry, and on complementary scientific research into the efficacy of yoga practices.
-
- Yoga Teaching Methodology
-
This module focuses on the study and practice of teaching methodologies aimed at:
(i) Developing proficiency in structuring and sequencing of yoga classes to ensure best possible outcomes for students.
(ii) Building skills in creating a mutually respectful relationship between teacher and student, utilizing the principles of demonstration, observation, instruction, students learning styles, effective communication, assistance, corrections and adjustments.
-
- Yogic Ethics & Lifestyle Practices
-
A sound understanding of the concept of the mind and its relationship with the body and wellbeing is fundamental to achieving beneficial outcomes in yoga practice and teaching. This module will explore the Yamas and Niyamas which deal with appropriate mental attitudes and ethical behaviours as presented in the first two “limbs” of Patanjali Yoga Sutra. Their contemporary role and relevance in mental wellbeing and professional ethics is considered. The ‘mind’ from a yogic perspective and western approaches will also be reviewed.
-
- Yogic Philosophies
-
This unit provides an overview of the history and foundational understanding of the philosophy of Yoga which underlies the practices of Yoga. You will study the primary texts of Yoga, including Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika and Bhagavad Gita.
-
- Yogic Physiology
-
The Yogic understanding of physiology differs greatly from that of Western Science. The teaching of Yoga involves an integration of both paradigms and requires the Yoga teacher to carefully communicate this integration. This module provides a solid, foundational understanding of physiology, according to the tradition of Yoga.
