Prerequisite: any 200-hour program or equivalent.

This course is valuable for all teachers whether in a SCHYS program or not. It is for those interested in learning more about philosophy and how to plan a class or course to keep the individual or class of students as safe as possible. Learn all-inclusive language, correct sequencing of counter poses, rest poses, and more.

If you are a teacher of yoga and think you know how to plan your classes, think again. If you haven’t taken course planning through SCHYS, then this is a must and will improve your knowledge no matter how long you’ve been teaching or what you think you know about course planning. This class teaches you a new way to think about breaking poses down and properly preparing the student for the pose as well as how to counter (correctly).
