The Art & Skill of Teaching Power Yoga
About Course
The rise of power yoga in recent years has attracted many individuals seeking to teach and practice this dynamic and physical style of yoga.
However, there is often a misconception about what a power yoga practice entails, and some yoga instructors are teaching this style of yoga without undergoing proper training.
As a teacher ask yourself:
Would you teach an Ashtanga style class without training in Ashtanga?
Would you teach an Iyengar style practice without training in Iyengar yoga?
Yes, power yoga is an athletic form of yoga that emphasizes strength, flexibility, and stamina.
However, leading a power yoga class does not mean a fitness only based yoga practice. And this is where some often go wrong.
The emphasis on power and intensity can overshadow the core principle of power yoga: everything you do on your mat should help you with everything you do off your mat.
Power yoga integrates philsophical principles into the practice in a way that is relevant in today’s modern world.
The physical practice is based on creating balance and accesibility for most.
It’s not a ‘fast flow’, it’s not ‘advanced only’, and it certainly is not an ‘exericise’ only practice.
Upon completion of this course, you will have a better understanding, along with the skills, to lead a power yoga class safely and effectively.
This course is specifically for yoga teachers who already hold a certification of at least 200-hours, but not in the power yoga style.
Lyn has been teaching power yoga since the late 90s. She has had the honor of studying with both Bryan Kest and Baron Baptiste – the originators of the power yoga style.
