Online Yoga Teacher Training Overview
Winter 2021
Expectations
All Yoga By The Sea teachers are Yoga Alliance-certified and are experienced in teaching students of varying ability levels. We believe in non-competitive yoga and support students to approach their practice with loving-kindness while encouraging them to express the architectural foundation of each pose with clarity and strength, based on the trademarked Yoga For EveryBody® system developed by Yoga By The Sea's founder, Arielle Thomas Newman.
We draw from the power of this ancient Mayan region for our meditations, which serves as a perfect foundation for connecting with the inner-self. The Yoga By The Sea Teachers Training is comprehensive and in-depth. You will learn to teach both Vinyasa-Flow and Hatha Yoga classes in this course. You can view the content areas that are used for this accredited course by going to www.yogaalliance.org.
We cover anatomy, teaching methodology, philosophy, chakras, mudras, pranayama, meditation, diet, nutrition, setting up your business – all the essentials. Once you successfully complete the Yoga By The Sea training, you then can apply for your RYT-200 certificate from the Yoga Alliance, which is internationally recognized. (Cost of the Yoga Alliance application not included in your tuition).
Acceptance into the program is based on a written application and telephone interview. Once accepted and your deposit and travel waiver/release form received, you are eligible to begin your Yoga By The Sea Home Study Module. Advanced study-guide materials will be e-mailed to you which will include information on the major bones and muscles of the body and the key yoga asanas covered in the course. We will begin the program assuming that you have studied and learned this important foundational material.
