    Description
    This course builds upon Yoga Teacher Training I: Foundations (KIN 058) to include further study about information necessary for students intending to teach Hatha Yoga. Students who successfully complete this course will fulfill one half, or 100 hours necessary to apply for the Yoga Alliance RYS 200 Certification. The second of a sequential two-part series, Yoga Teacher Training II: Methodologies builds on the foundations of analysis and personal practice to Pranayama, Asana, and Dhyana. Students study the historical contexts and philosophies of Hatha Yoga as it is taught in the United States today, 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 for those interested in furthering their understanding of the effects of yoga for health, fitness, and performance.
