Frequently Asked Questions
?
Is hatha yoga teacher training good for beginners?
Hatha yoga teacher training is the most accessible of the style-specific courses, because postures are held individually rather than linked, which leaves room for correction. Six months of regular practice is still the usual minimum. Physical demand sits below ashtanga.
?
What do you learn on a hatha yoga teacher training?
A hatha yoga teacher training covers asana, pranayama, the six shatkarma cleansing practices, mudra, bandha, meditation, anatomy, philosophy from texts such as the hatha yoga pradipika, and supervised practicum. Most 200-hour courses split roughly half practical, half theory.
?
How is hatha yoga teacher training different from vinyasa?
Hatha yoga teacher training holds each posture for several breaths and teaches postures one at a time, while vinyasa training links them to breath in continuous sequences. Hatha includes more pranayama and cleansing work. Vinyasa weights transitions and choreography.
