The study of Yoga Tune Up® delves you deeply into integrated anatomy and body mechanics while helping you discover a fresh approach to teaching and leading no matter what movement modality you lead. You will go beyond formulaic instruction and truly learn to think, teach and coach creatively within your classroom and with individual clients.
YTU attracts students of all ages and body types as it breaks down the nuts and bolts of human movement and provides context-based teaching strategies for the classroom, clinic, gym or studio. It interweaves precise anatomy with a yogic lens of awareness, conscious relaxation, and body therapy to help every student live better in their body.
In this 70 hour Yoga Tune Up® Certification training, you will:
-
Become proficient and comfortable with the fundamentals of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics.
-
Learn a step-by-step process to create memorable, accessible classes and learn to “think out of the boxana.”
-
Refresh your love of teaching and learn new classroom leadership skills.
-
Be prepared to teach your own Yoga Tune Up® classes, privates, and more.
​
*Please note that the YTU Certification Training is focused on anatomy, physiology, and human architecture as it relates to movement, and is not a Therapy Ball based Training. Introduction and use of the YTU Therapy Balls are a part of this Training but not the main focus.
​
*The YTU Certification Training is a competency course that requires the completion of homework assignments, in-class evaluations and a take-home test.
​
Location: The School of Dance, 200 Crichton St, Ottawa, ON
*Please note that this location is a gorgeous heritage building: which means that unfortunately there are many stairs and no elevator.
