200 Hour YTTC Course Objective
Yoga offers tremendous benefits for both the body and the mind. However, not every pose (asana) and breathing technique (pranayama) are universally suitable. As instructors, we must consider the age, health, and fitness levels of our students.
At Alpesh Yoga, in our distinctive program, you’ll discover how to factor in your students’ strengths and physical constraints, influencing their practice.
You’ll gain insights into how to address specific areas, ensure alignment, make adjustments, utilize props, and offer modifications to cater to all students, while acknowledging their unique variations and precautions.
In yoga, a precautionary note refers to a condition that could potentially cause discomfort or harm during certain asanas or pranayamas. It’s vital for instructors to recognize that while certain poses may benefit some, they could pose risks to others. At Alpesh Yoga, we recognize and respect the diversity of each individual’s body.
