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.
