Program Summary
Be Yoga Japan is a yoga studio registered to the Yoga Alliance. Everyone, who has completed the course, is active in various fields.
Why 200 hours?
Some students start our 200-hour teacher-training program (TT200) wondering why it takes so long to complete. However, nearly everyone finishes the program with the understanding that 200 hours of instruction was just a first step.
Yoga is a complex, far-reaching body of knowledge that covers every aspect of life. To teach even a beginner-level asana class safely and correctly, you must thoroughly know the correct alignment, common misalignments and contraindications for dozens of poses, be able to explain to your students the physical and mental benefits for various types of poses, and be prepared to offer modifications of each asana for students with injuries, elderly students and pregnant women.
After completing the ISHTA Teacher Training program, you will have a strong foundation to begin teaching with an understanding of the principles of safe alignment in asanas, as well as basic knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of yoga, Ayurveda, pranayama and meditation.
