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.

Teachers interested in leading classes or being included in the Original Hot Yoga Association or OHYA Directory require approval before teaching a course. For, the OHYA has a strong commitment to promote and support hot yoga. While extremely popular around the world, the practice 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.

Students often find positions at different OHYA once having graduated from a teacher oriented program. In order to acquire such a position, it is important to have a level 1 seal in the directory, completed an internship and have completed a training program. It should be noted that all classes, programs, sessions and studios have a zero tolerance for improper behavior, including sexual harassment. As such, if a student or teacher feels there has been an infraction of this nature, it is important to send an email report to the OHYA and notify the local police or other authorities.

If an individual has completed a training program in hot yoga outside the OHYA and is not clear if one is qualified to teach a teacher oriented program, the individual can email the OHYA to inquire as to whether the courses taken qualify one to teach at OHYA studios. In most cases, those having had some training in the area can complete a bridge training program in order to qualify to lead such classes.

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.

Controlling the air flow, oxygen and heat in the classroom is essential for the comfort and safety of teachers and students. In addition, leading from the front of the room using a podium or desk while teaching is required by those providing instruction to others. Whereas, teaching how to heal and empower others are considered important aspects when leading a class to train teachers to train other students in the future.

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.
