Two features in particular set this certification
course apart: provides simple yet comprehensive
cues that teachers can use to bring students into
proper alignment and deeper mental focus, and detailed
instructions on making safe hands-on adjustments
and modifications for students.
The course textbook (Instructing Hatha Yoga) that
was developed in line with the standards of the
Yoga Alliance and its national Yoga Teachers’ Registry,
features authors Kathy Lee Kappmeier and Diane Ambrosini,
with more than 20 years of experience in yoga instruction
and teacher training, provide a class overview,
outlines, lesson plans, and sample syllabi. They
present ways to structure a class with flexible
teaching plans in a variety of settings, such as
schools, community centers, fitness clubs, and wellness
centers. With their backgrounds in physical education,
kinesiology, biomechanics, and various sectors of
the fitness industry, the authors not only understand
the art and science of yoga, but they know how to
teach it safely and effectively.
