Introduction 3-Part Anusara Yoga Teacher Training Series with Patrick Creelman – Taipei Teaching yoga is both an art and a science. In order to teach with confidence and skill, it is important to understand the poses, their benefits and applications. The emphasis of this programme is learning to teach the poses in the Anusara method, which includes heart-oriented languaging and Universal Principles of Alignment. It is a comprehensive training for Anusara teachers to fine-tune their teaching skills and understanding, and for experienced students who want to pursue teaching. The programme includes monthly written homework assignments, quizzes and readings from assigned texts, as well as the chance to practise teaching skills. Students come away with a strong foundation in the philosophy of yoga, skill in seeing and adjusting poses, an ability to articulate pose instructions clearly and succinctly, and language skills to inspire students to express their poses from the inside-out. This is 100 hours of dedicated training in the precise teaching of the Anusara Method – split into 3 programmes of 5 days, completed over the course of a 3-month period. The programme will be conducted in English with Chinese translation. Yoga Alliance Accredited School Pure Yoga is a registered school with Yoga Alliance.
