This
is a course of study that has been designed to help educate
a yoga student in the practices and procedures needed to become
an instructor of traditional yoga on a beginner level.
It
is not necessary to wish to become a teacher to take this
course. It is also a good course of study for the serious
student who wishes to deepen their knowledge of this ancient
science.
Asana,
breathing practices, correctives and conditoners, and relaxation
and meditation techniques are all included in this curriculum.
A student must attend a minimum of ten classes to attain the
teaching proficiency of Level 1 Certification.
The course
of study is structured to guide the student in his/her training
and practice over a period of 10 months inclusive,
with a workshop held on the second Saturday of the month,
from 9:00 to 1:00 PM.
If a
student cannot attend 10 consecutive classes, arrangements
may be made to receive a test for the workshop fee, and the
class time may be made up at a later date.
The fee
to enroll in the program is $600.
An additional
fee of $60 will be due for each workshop on the day
the workshop is held. The test for that workshop will be handed
out at that time.
You will
receive your personal "Pathways Yoga Teachers Notebook",
which you can use to compile your papers and in which to keep
your notes.
The hours needed for completion of certification may be gained
in several ways.
Additional workshops, accreditation from other teaching facilities,
class time in an approved Pathways class, and assisting time
with an approved Pathways teacher will all be taken into account.
Level I qualification requires 100 hours. This includes
40 workshop hours, 10 hours reviewing of tests with instructor,
and 20 hours of in-class time (working on perfecting asanas).
Assisting, observing, personal teaching hours and workshops
should account for the remaining required hours. If
all qualifications cannot be achieved in the minimum amount
of class hours, approved extra work may be applied to your final
qualifications.
To complete your certification, your instructor will evaluate
your teaching skills: while you assist other Pathways Yoga Teachers
in classes, during Pathways Workshops, and in your own "pre-certification"
practice teaching classes.
