You will learn the 'why' behind every adjustment, focusing on safe alignment and how to support a student’s body without force. It is not about correcting for perfection, but helping each student find their own version of comfort and stability in the asana. Teaching is a responsibility. When you stand before a group, your words and your touch shape their experience. We believe that a good teacher is first a good observer. In our TTC programs, we strip away the ego. You will not just learn how to do an asana—you will learn how to teach it. This includes: * **The Science of Correction:** We focus on gentle, supportive adjustments rather than forceful corrections. You will learn to identify tightness in the shoulders, hips, or spine and offer cues that help the student release tension rather than build resistance. * **Communication Skills:** Finding your voice as a teacher is a process. We provide a safe, non-judgmental space to practice leading sequences, giving clear verbal cues, and managing a room full of diverse bodies. * **Peer Feedback:** You are not just learning from me. You learn by watching your fellow trainees and receiving constructive feedback in a supportive sangha environment. * **Safety First:** Understanding anatomy helps you prevent injury. We teach you how to modify poses for beginners, those with back pain, or students dealing with stiffness. Whether you aim to become an RYT-200 certified instructor or simply want to deepen your own practice, these skills will change how you view the mat. ## About Sivananda Yoga Centre I am Arun, and I have dedicated over 30 years to the Sivananda tradition. Teaching is an extension of my own practice, so I focus on training you to observe, support, and communicate with clarity and heart.
