This final module focuses on learning how to teach what you have learnt. Satyananda Yoga is taught in quite a different way from most yoga styles as instruction is by speaking rather than demonstration. It is also distinguished by the fact that although asana is a significant part of a class, pranayama and meditation are given equal weighting and the focus is on inner experience rather than outer performance. To gain the skills necessary to be a Satyananda Yoga teacher you don’t need to be a physically accomplished performer of asana. Instead you must learn the subtleties of teaching in this unique style through supervised practice and informed feedback on your progress, hence the three-week residential component of intense hands-on training.
