CSY's 300-Hour Teacher Training and Advanced Studies Program
 |
Central Street Yoga's 300-Hour Teacher Training and Advanced Studies Program is for serious practitioners of yoga and wellness desirous of becoming a teacher, as well as for students that may want to simply deepen their practice and live a more informed and healthier life.
Unlike many other yoga teacher training programs offered, our 300-Hour program features 200 actual hours in the classroom or studio with our faculty. All teachers who graduate from our teacher training are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200).
The style of yoga taught at Central Street Yoga is both an alignment and functional based flow derived from a strong understanding of human anatomy and how each individual's unique structure can and should have a unique yogic expression.
There is no single path to yoga. Our goal at Central Street Yoga is to give you the tools to discover your path and thereby help to guide others on their own. |

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
We are seeking trainees with a solid foundation in yoga asana (postures) and who wish to examine in detail their anatomical foundation. Although Central Street Yoga will concentrate significantly on the asana aspect of yoga, trainees will also develop an understanding of the history and philosophy of all eight limbs of yoga as a multi-choice path to wellness.
It should be understood that the training program requires consistent physical effort over a course of several months. Whenever possible, we will accommodate special physical conditions as circumstances permit so long as the overall safety of the student is not compromised.
As space in the program is limited, we recommend completion and submission of the application as soon as possible to begin the admission process.

| CURRICULUM |
| |
|
| Technique and Methodology (126 Contact Hours; 40 Non-Contact Hours) |
| |
|
| |
Asana
|
| |
|
The asanas will be organized and taught as related poses - standing, twists, balances, backbends and inversions. We will explore the structure of the individual asanas emphasizing what each is meant to feel like rather than look like, how to guide students into a posture allowing for individual anatomical variations and how to incorporate props to make the asana accessible to those with more limited mobility. |
| |
|
| |
Hands on Adjustments
|
| |
|
We will teach you how to analyze your students’ anatomical structure and assist them into positions by finding their most beneficial expression of the asana. Adjustments will focus on achieving the desired experience of the posture rather than forcing the body into an idealized visual shape. |
| |
|
| |
Sequencing |
| |
|
You will learn the art of creative sequencing and how to thoughtfully structure different levels and types of classes – gentle (yin) to vinyasa (yang), beginning to advanced. |
| |
|
| |
Atmosphere & Intention |
| |
|
We will examine the environment of the class setting you create: the intension you set, the music you play, the tone of your voice, etc. and how each of these aspects play a role in your students’ experience. |
| |
|
| |
Pranayama |
| |
|
You will be introduced to several pranayama concepts, their benefits and how to incorporate particular pranayama techniques into your classes to compliment the focus of the practice. |
| |
|
| |
Meditation |
| |
|
You will study a variety of meditation skills, feel their effects and investigate how to incorporate these practices into your classes to heighten your students experience. |
| |
|
| Practicum (14 Contact Hours; 30 Non-Contact Hours) |
| |
|
| |
Includes practice teaching one-on-one with a partner outside of class, as well as assisting and leading during public classes, receiving feedback, and observing professional teachers at CSY and elsewhere. Central Street Yoga is proud to be associated with diverse organizations such as Husson University, the Brewer School District and Parker Produce in Newport to provide our students with additional practice teaching opportunities outside the studio. |
| |
|
| Yoga History, Philosophy and Ethics (24 Contact Hours; 10 Non-Contact Hours) |
| |
|
| |
The course will cover the Vedic through Pre-Classical Periods with references to the Upanishads, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita, Classical Yoga (Raja) as taught by Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras and applied to his Eight-Limbed Path (Ashtanga), Post-Classical Yoga (Hatha) and Modern Yoga beginning with Swami Vivekananda.
“Ethics is the process by which we sort out what best creates inner and outer harmony in our lives.” Kylea Taylor, The Ethics of Caring. Classes include lecture on the philosophy of ethics (yama and niyama) as well as the science of ethics and its relationship to yoga, your students, and other wellness professionals. |
| |
|
| Anatomy & Physiology (36 Contact Hours; 20 Non-Contact Hours) |
| |
|
| |
Having a greater appreciation for the function and structure of the body will enable you to come to individual yoga poses with an informed and discerning approach. Focusing on the musculoskeletal, nervous and circulatory systems, students will gain an understanding of the human body and its role as related to their yoga practice. In addition to lectures, students will participate in a lab component to experience “anatomy in action” through direct application to asana and pranayama. |
| |
|
| General Requirements |
| |
|
| |
Students will be expected to coordinate and meet with a partner outside of class time in order to practice their teaching of asana, pranayama and hands on adjustments.
In addition, students are required to attend 10 regularly scheduled classes at Central Street Yoga and/or other studios. |
