Teacher Training 40Hrs - 200Hrs

Teacher Training & Certification

Yoga Angels offers 40 hours introductory Intensives, 200 hours teacher training, and a certification Program. Our purpose is to equip teachers with the appropriate method to teach kids and adults. Our programs are taught locally and internationally at yoga studios, schools and other community institutions. We cover the all topics required to complete the 200 hour level of training recognized by Yoga Alliance, including technique, teaching methodology, meditation, anatomy and physiology.

Our focus is on the differences and similarities of teaching kids and adults. Emphasis is place on the appropriate practice for different ages, stages, and is taught through the art of sequencing. Sequencing is approached as writing a yoga prescription with an individual wholesome approach learning the appropriate dosage per student.

Yoga Angels classes provide individual attention in a group setting. Classes entail adjustments, positive affirmations, storytelling and enthusiasm. Specific yoga sequences taught have been created to build concentration, awareness, stamina, strength and willpower. The emotional states that arise from practicing yoga are encouraged to be fully felt. Using observation and application of yoga tools, teachers learn methods of how to positively transform the emotional state. Yoga classes are creatively taught in a fun environment while discovering self-empowerment.
