    Description
    This course includes foundational information necessary for those intending to teach Hatha Yoga. Students who successfully complete this course with the corequisite, one-unit lab practicum and KINA 258 Yoga II will fulfill one half, or 100 hours, required for the Yoga Alliance RYS 200 Certification. The first of a sequential two-part series, Yoga Teacher Training I: Foundations focuses on establishing a personal practice in combination with an experiential analysis of the foundational Hatha Yoga techniques of Pranayama (breath control), Asana (postures), and Dhyana (meditation). This course also introduces students to the history and philosophy of yoga, as well as the ethics, methodologies, and business of teaching yoga. This course is designed for students pursuing the Yoga Teacher Training Certificate or a career teaching yoga in the fitness industry, or those interested in furthering their understanding of the effects of yoga for health, fitness, and performance.
