Hi,
I trying to decide on a yoga teacher course. I really like hot yoga and have found a hot yoga course but i am a little confused. I want to know if you can you teach any style of Yoga in a hot room? As at our studio we have Vinyasa flow in the hot room too. What particularly do you learn that is different in a Hot Yoga teacher course?
Help please
Thanx
JLO
Hi Jen
Looking for a course can be quite personal. What are you looking for precisely? There are MANY courses that teach you by making you recite a script. There are MANY courses that include countless sessions of sitting in front of PowerPoint style presentations either projected or reading them out from handouts. You may not find that out until you have actually attended so that’s a problem.
What you want depends on your outcome. Watch out for courses that say they will only certify you in ‘their style’ of yoga and nothing else and make you sign agreements to limit your ability to teach.
I have my own teacher training program. You can see that at Hot Yoga Teacher. If you would like to ask me any questions about that program I am very happy to help you! :coolsmile:
In our program there are obviously elements that would dovetail in with other yoga courses. However exercising and doing yoga in the heat brings its own very important challenges. Hot yoga is more than just yoga in a hot room.
Course participants at our program will spend significant time learning many specific aspects of teaching in the heat. This includes covering the risk factors of exercising in this extreme environment and helping ensure that your students (and of course the teacher) stay safe and risk-free!!! That’s in
the Hot Yoga Doctor Teacher Training ProgramLet me know if I can help you further!
Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂Hey thanks for the speedy reply
I want to learn about yoga and how each pose benefits you.
I am confused because I have heard some yogis are against the hot room because they say heat should be generated through agni and not come from artificial heat in the room. Surely you still generate agni in the postures, but the heat is just like doing it in a hot country? I love the heat and if I am going to practise here in the UK then I want to do it in a hot room as I get sick of the cold weather here.
I don’t just want to go on a hot yoga course and not learn the basic essentials of normal yoga if that makes sense? i.e mudras pranayama, Banha etc
Thanx
JLO 🙂
