Alpesh Yoga’s distinctive instructor training program is a Yoga Alliance-approved residential and non-residential 300-hour curriculum.
Throughout the 26-day program, you will experience comprehensive engagement in both learning and teaching Therapeutic Yoga.
Our 200-hour YTTC will equip you with a robust yogic foundation and a comprehensive grasp of yoga anatomy, structural alignment of the physical body through asana practice, and the therapeutic benefits of alignment. You will also gain proficiency in the use of props.
This innovative program, crafted by Alpesh Patwari, introduces a fresh perspective on teacher training. With a primary focus on the healing aspects of yoga, Alpesh’s Therapeutic Alignment course educates students on how yoga can cater to individuals of all ages, health conditions, and physical abilities.
Throughout this training, you’ll acquire the skills to effectively guide your students in enhancing and refining their practice. You’ll learn that consistent and focused practice can enable students to surpass their perceived limitations.
Small class sizes ensure that our instructors can provide the personalized attention necessary for you to feel confident in teaching upon completion of your training.
Upon finishing your 200-hour training, you have the option to enroll in a supplementary 100-hour course, elevating your qualification to 300 hours. This extension involves an additional week of intensive study and practice, exclusively available to graduates of our 200-hour program.
300 HOUR TTC
This 300-hour program serves as a 100-hour supplement following the completion of the 200-hour Alignment Yoga Therapy program.
With an additional 6 days of instruction, the 300-hour Alignment Yoga Therapy program allows for the comprehensive exploration of 75 postures, affording ample time for assimilating new knowledge.
Moreover, participants will further enhance their personal practice and delve into the therapeutic aspects of alignment. They will acquire the skills to integrate this understanding into refining both group and individual teaching methods, fostering growth in both settings.
300 HOUR YTTC COURSE OBJECTIVES
Yoga is excellent for the body and mind. However not all postures (asanas) and breathing methods (pranayama) are good for us at all times. As teachers, we must keep in mind the age, health and fitness of our students.
Here at Alpesh Yoga, on our unique course, you will learn to think about how the strengths and physical limitations of your students affect their practice.
You will learn how to target areas, align, adjust, use of props, and modifications with all students, while understanding about the individual differences and contraindications.
A yoga contraindication is a condition that can lead to certain asanas or pranayamas hurting the practitioner. As teachers we need to understand that while some postures can be of benefit to some, the same movements can hurt another. Here at Alpesh Yoga we understand that everybody is different.
