with Melody Hansen and Michele Tsihlas

Take Your Teaching to The Next Level

This Level 2 teacher training program is offered to teachers who have graduated from Ananda Yoga® Teacher Training or Bridge to Ananda Yoga® and have experience teaching Ananda Yoga.

In this 4-week online class, you will take your teaching to the next level by diving deeply into principles and techniques of assisting and adjusting for over 30 Ananda Yoga poses.

This course will give you the opportunity to:

  • Develop the ability to recognize and prioritize which adjustments yoga students need
  • Improve your understanding and cueing of the asanas
  • Study anatomical planes of motion, safety and alignment
  • Hone your teaching skills to make asana safe and comfortable for those with common vulnerabilites
  • Watch online demonstrations and explanations of assisting moves
  • Receive detailed instructions in an online illustrated course manual
  • Learn to target warm up exercises for joints and areas of the body used in specific asanas
  • Create videos of yourself practicing with volunteer students to be reviewed by mentors
  • Receive guidance and answers to your questions from our experienced faculty
  • Assimilate what you have learned with assignments and quizzes

 

 

Plan to engage with class content for about 12 hours pre-course and then approximately 15 hours per week for 4 weeks during the course dates. In each of the first 3 weeks of the course, participate in approximately 8 hours of live or pre-recorded classes, about 5.5 hours of mentored at home practice and at least 1.5 hour of guided Sadhana. In the 4th week there will be about 3.5 hours of live or pre-recorded class and 1 hour practice, 1.5 hr guided Sadhana. The rest of the hours in the final week will be spent doing longer written and video assignments, receiving and giving feedback, quiz and closing.


NOTE: During the COVID 19 outbreak we strongly recommend following CDC guidelines when in engaging with volunteer students – screen teacher and students for fever, symptoms or recent contact with infected persons, maintain physical distance when possible, use masks and gloves when in close contact, frequently disinfect any shared surfaces, wash hands frequently and avoid touching your face.
