“A real life transforming experience – with the first day I realised this is beyond the teaching of asanas – with compassion, great care and incredible knowledge we were accompanied to our higher potentials”

Yogacoach Application Form

This is the foundational subject for all Yogacoach training courses and includes the basis of the Yogacoach methodology. Within this module we learn the skills to bring the ancient teachings of Yoga to life. This component includes:

Energy – all life is energy and we are an energetic system
Mapping our energy – understanding the Chakra system
Balancing our energy – the autonomic nervous system
Directing our energy – setting goals and aligning to purpose
Supporting a high energy life – the 5 fields of health and well being (mind, breath, body, relationship and rhythm)
Pranayama and meditation
Understanding the roots of Yoga – Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Introduction to Ayurveda

This component takes the esoteric principles and philosophies of Yoga and applies them in practical, simple and effective ways.

Asana is the physical aspect of Yoga. Day to day wear and tear through compensations and less optimal movement patterns results in injury and/or pain. Breakdown in the kinetic movement chains – when we’re out of optimal alignment – creates interruptions in our energy flow and imbalances throughout our body. Our body functions best in alignment allowing us ease of movement. This module aims to restore alignment through the use of Yogic Asana (postures). This component includes:

The functions and benefits of Asana
How to work with every body – modify by ascending and descending poses
What a body does everyday – the 6 primary movement patterns and their compensations
The building blocks of practice – balancing flexibility, stability and strength
Building a body from the ground up – potency, compassion and wisdom
Anatomy and Physiology – what you need to know

Much of the beginning teaching of Yoga involves the use of Asana, which can exert a powerful effect on the body and mind. It is important that the Yoga teacher be highly competent in assessing their students’ requirements, the selection of appropriate practices and the clear and efficient communication of their application. In the practice of Yoga there are certain orderly groupings of Asana or sequences that effectively become ‘modules’ within a practice. This component includes:

Sthira and Sukha – the balance between steadiness and comfort in a pose
Vinyasa Krama – intelligent sequencing
Understanding the importance and placement of counter poses
Setting an intention for class
The three P’s of sequencing – person, practice and purpose
Dynamic vs. static practice
The importance of rest and incorporating the internal Yoga
Heat or no heat – looking at the options
Template for a class
Creating the sacred space – calming the senses to create a journey for body, heart and mind

Yoga students require assistance or adjusting in yoga classes for many different reasons, and part of the aim of this course is to understand and learn these reasons and the different types of assisting/adjusting. Through this course you will learn skills to help you assess how best to help a yoga student and how to develop healthy relationships with the students you teach and/or adjust. This component includes:

Mutuality – relationship with self and other
Creating presence – without awareness not much else happens
Student-teacher relationship
Appropriate use of touch
Creating safety and trust
Assisting, adjusting and enhancing – what to use when
Yin practices – working in to work out
