OVERVIEW OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM ELEMENTS
Practicum:
We are dedicated to your evolution as a teacher – even if you feel that you do not want to teach publicly, there will be a focus on teaching each other. Being able to communicate what you are learning is a great way to let those thoughts and ideas take root.
Teaching Methodology:
Demonstrating, assisting, correcting, voice skills, language, qualities, styles of teaching, and working with different types of learners.
Philosophy, Lifestyle, and Ethics:
Study of yoga history and historically relevant texts. This re-imagined program for 2024 will build directly from the 8-limbs of classical yoga with a whole weekend being themed around the study of each limb. Good & right living, asana, breathwork, energy work, concentration, meditation, and samadhi (deep conscious connection). You will be required to read a lot of material and be ready to discuss what you are understanding. We will often work directly with The Yoga Sutra, The Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Light On Yoga, The Heart Of Yoga, and The Bhagavad Gita during our sessions together.
This program is 75% lecture-based with guided and interactive conversations and debates. Only approximately 25% of the program itself is dedicated to Asana/ Poses. The majority of your posture work will be done in classes during the week. You are required to take a minimum of 2 classes a week as well as the training sessions.

ABOUT
The Yoga Room mentorship program provides a unique experience in continuing education. Over the course of three months, you will be guided through an in-depth study of asana practice, teaching skills and yogic study. Following your own path of research, you will be paired with an experienced teacher who will challenge and support you to find your own voice as a teacher. The program has flexible hours and is made up of the following components:

Observation / Assist
Initially, you will observe your mentor’s class and have a brief discussion afterwards to answer any questions that may have arisen regarding sequencing, assists, etc. If your mentor deems it appropriate, you may begin to offer assists within the class and, guided by your mentor, lead one or two poses in class. (Total 9 Hours)
Practice Teaching
Towards the end of the program, you will have an opportunity to teach two full-length classes. Your mentor will observe and provide feedback. (3 Hours).
