Modern popular yoga is very diverse.
Where as it may be really interesting to explore different methods as a student, learning how to teach calls for consistency and a solid understanding of how the body moves.
In this training, we are using the highly consistent and scientifically researched Baseworks Teaching Methodology to help you to both step up your practice and build the understanding and skills necessary to effectively and safely teach yoga.
All certified teachers at YogaJaya and Baseworks affiliate studios have graduated from the YogaJaya Teacher Training and teach/utilize the Baseworks Teaching Methodology.
