Yoga Teacher Training: Pose Alignment & Tutorials
Deepen your practice and master the art of teaching. We break down complex asanas with precise alignment, anatomy-focused cues, and prop usage so you can guide your students with confidence.
Hanumanasana (the splits) requires more than just flexibility. This tutorial shows how to approach the pose safely, using props to align the hips and engage the correct muscles to avoid compressing the lower back.
This step-by-step guide to Compass Pose (Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana) shows you how to prepare the hips and shoulders, and how to safely enter this deep stretch that challenges your flexibility and focus.
Ready for the one-hand wheel pose? This video breaks down the transition from a solid two-handed wheel, teaching you how to build the strength and stability required to lift one hand with control.
This tutorial breaks down Vasisthasana (Side Plank) for all levels. I show modifications for beginners, intermediate practitioners, and the full expression for advanced students, ensuring everyone can build strength safely.
Let's learn the playful Baby Grasshopper Pose. This arm balance requires hip flexibility and core strength, and this video guides you through the setup and the lift-off.
This video is a tutorial for Ashtavakrasana (Eight-Angle Pose). I demonstrate the preparatory steps to build arm and core strength, and how to cross the legs and shift your weight to achieve this challenging arm balance.
This is part four of our 'Master Sirsasana' series, focusing on using the wall to practice walking the feet in. This exercise builds crucial core strength and hamstring flexibility for a stable headstand.
Part three of the 'Master Sirsasana' series focuses on hamstring flexibility. I demonstrate three key poses: Padahastasana, Hanumanasana, and Upavistha Konasana, which are essential for a smooth lift-off into headstand.
This is part two of the 'Master Sirsasana' series, focusing on building core strength and shoulder stability. I guide you through plank variations and dolphin push-ups, which form the foundation for a strong headstand.
This video highlights five common mistakes in Utthita Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle Pose) and how to correct them. Proper alignment is key to strengthening the legs and enhancing hip flexibility in this pose.
About Your Path to Teaching: Pose Breakdowns & Tutorials
You have seen these tutorials for poses like Hanumanasana or Vasisthasana, but teaching them requires a deeper layer of knowledge. We focus on biomechanics, not just form—teaching you how to use props like blocks to avoid lower back compression and how to provide hands-on adjustments that prioritize student safety over simply reaching the final pose.
Our Yoga Teacher Training (YTTC) is designed to help you transition from practitioner to teacher. These tutorials represent the core of our methodology: blending the dynamic flow of Ashtanga with the alignment precision of Iyengar yoga. When you train with us, we go beyond the physical expression of a pose.
What You Will Master
- Anatomical Alignment: You will learn to identify common postural mistakes, like collapsing the chest in Utthita Parsvakonasana or over-compressing the spine in backbends, and learn how to correct them with specific verbal cues.
- Prop Methodology: In our sessions, props are not crutches. You will learn to use ropes, belts, and bolsters as essential tools to make challenging inversions like Sirsasana accessible to students of all levels.
- Sequencing with Purpose: It is not just about the pose; it is about the transition. We teach you how to sequence classes that build core strength, mobilize the hips, and protect the joints, ensuring your students stay injury-free.
Whether you are joining us in Mumbai at our Vile Parle studio or in Pune at our Hinjewadi and Wakad locations, you gain more than a certificate. You receive a guaranteed 6-month teaching internship where you apply these tutorials in real-time, working with live students under our mentorship. If you are ready to stop guessing and start teaching with clarity, let's get to work.
