A Brief Overview Hot Yoga Teacher Training DC

By Barbara Walker


Meditation and exercise are common practices which can help restore health and balance body, mind and spirit. In fact, Eastern, Western and Holistic practitioners agree that individuals whom exercise and meditate on a regular basis often lead less-stressful lives. As such, there is now a need for individuals to attend hot yoga teacher training DC For, yoga has become even more popular, introducing new styles such as hot and goat yoga over the last few years.

Individuals interested in leading classes in this area or joining the OHYA Directory must obtain approval from the Original Hot Yoga Association or OHYA in order to do so. For, the organization has committed to supporting and promoting hot yoga. While now popular, the form is also known as the 26 & 2 method.

The primary goal of the organization is to train new teachers which can easily integrate and excel at current and future OHYA studios in different areas. In order to achieve this goal, those seeking to lead classes must meet OHYA standards which include different categories of study and minimum hours as defined by the OHYA. Whereas, graduating students are expected to complete an internship at a studio in the area of residency and join the OHYA as a method of uniting the hot yoga community.

Once having graduated, OHYA studios which are part of the organization often hire individuals which have graduated from OHYA sponsored programs, received a Level 1 Seal in the OHYA directory and completed an internship. It should be noted that there is a zero tolerance policy related sexual harassment or other improper behavior. As such, if individuals experience improper behavior, it is important to call local police, then file a report with the OHYA as soon as possible.

For individuals whom are not sure a program qualifies one to apply for the OHYA Teacher Directory, verification can be completed by contacting the OHYA by email. While this is the case, there may be a need to complete an additional bridge program before the teacher can be listed.

When looking to teach at OHYA studios, it is important to note that individuals must first obtain approval from the organization. In addition, those interested must also adhere to specific standards as laid out by the OHYA. Most standards refer to teaching methods such as providing instructions in a concise and clear manner, directing activities which are related to the topic and connecting with students on a professional and personal basis.

Making students feel safe, stable, welcome and comfortable, providing evaluations on the ability of students to receive constructive criticism, leading from the front of the class using a desk or podium, encouraging newcomers, connecting with students before, during and after class, controlling the air flow, heat and oxygen in the classroom on an ongoing basis and teaching students to empower and heal oneself and others are also essential when leading an OHYA program.

Whether attending a OHYA training session for teachers, or teaching classes, both can be rewarding. It is important to note that those training teachers often spend more time in the classroom than traditional yoga teachers. As such, attending courses focused on teaching others how to teach can often require individuals with a flexible schedule.
