What You Will Walk Away With
Upon completion of this 150-hour upgrade, you will have the skills to teach a rich and informative, highly educated session to a wide variety of individuals with a range of different therapeutic needs. Our courses provide you with vast and rich information in order for you to understand and deliver your teachings with confidence, convey the latest biomedical research in the field to students, offer appropriate alignment cues, give touch adjustments, and teach yoga postures aided by props designed to assist with neurological feedback. With intention and discipline, you will become confident in developing heightened proprioceptive awareness in your students and give them a suitable level of control over breath, mind, and body.
As a BIYOME teacher, you will be able to cultivate the experience of meditation through yoga asana, harness the psychological state of flow in your classroom and offer your students the ultimate transcendental experience described for millennia through the science of yoga.
BIYOME’s Yoga Teacher Training courses also create a unique avenue to becoming a yoga teacher registered with Yoga Australia and Yoga Alliance.
Upon graduation, certification with BIYOME avails the opportunity to register with either Association providing you with a globally recognized membership. Yoga Australia and Yoga Alliance provide a standard of training recognition for teachers to practice with insurance worldwide. While Yoga Australia is highly regarded in Australia and the UK, Yoga Alliance may be your registration choice should you wish to teach in the USA.
BIYOME’s 150 hour Yoga Teacher Training upgrade specifically allows you to upgrade existing qualifications by 150 hours and bring you closer to your desired level of Yoga Teacher Training and obtain insurance to teach yoga worldwide.
What You Will Learn
Each of the three (3) specialty intensive training electives that you select shall offer you an immersion of theoretical and practical knowledge. Your awareness of the Ancient Science of Yoga, the Western Biomedical Model, as well as the connection between the two and its relevance to practice will become second to none. Each of the specialty intensive training electives that compose this course entail:
- Understanding the philosophy behind practices including an understanding of the juxtaposition of eastern and western traditions.
- Understanding the physiology behind certain states of physical being as they generally or specifically (dependant on course content) relate to states of samâdhi. This includes a glimpse into the principles of neurobiology and neuroplasticity.
- Understanding the psychology within practices including basic theories of mental or behavioural characteristics that surround ancient traditions. This encompasses yoga and meditation’s presence and relevance in many modern models of psychotherapy.
- Understanding from a complete immersive experience the foundations, applications, and teaching methodologies of each specific specialty chosen.
