Jean will provide a thorough and engaging education in anatomy and physiology as it applies to yoga through her online learning platform www.dynamicanatomycourses.com combined with five 2 hour interactive live-streamed Zoom sessions. Jean is based in Sydney and is a dedicated yoga and anatomy educator and has also been associated with Svastha Yoga and the Mohans for many years. There is an emphasis on the practical application of anatomy as it relates to our practice of yoga\, and to our teaching of yoga asana to ensure our instruction is appropriate\, safe and relevant. The course complements the overall training\, helping you integrate and comprehend the most practical aspects of anatomy study. There are 16 modules focussing on a different part of the body\, discussing bones\, joints\, ranges of motion\, muscles and possible reasons for muscular imbalance\, restrictions and pain. Principles of injury prevention are presented in a concise and practical manner – meaning that you will be able to apply this knowledge immediately into your own yoga practice and teaching. At the commencement of the training you will be given access to www.dynamicanatomycourses.com where you will complete the 30 hour level 1 course. You’ll have a year to complete the program and will be assigned units to complete each month. In addition to this you will have five 2 hour sessions with Jean which are live-streamed over Zoom.  \n\n\n\nSupervised Teaching \n\n\n\n7pm-8pm Wednesday evenings. You’ll gain live teaching experience! Attend in studio or online from home. Each teacher trainee will design and teach a supervised class at the studio and online via zoom for fellow teacher trainees. Prior to teaching your class you will have a one-to-one mentoring session to receive guidance and advice\, learn to market and promote your class online and gain studio experience teaching to students in person and online. There will be some weeks where the facilitators and guest teachers lead the Wednesday classes to ensure you have plenty of practical guidance and opportunities for integration of practices and concepts learnt during the weekend modules. The Wednesday evening calendar will be established once the training commences. It is likely to be a commitment of 2-3 Wednesdays per month. If you can’t attend live you can watch the replay. \n\n\n\nSelf-study & Assignments \n\n\n\nEvery month there is reading to do at home and assignments to complete. Assignments are set each month and explore the themes and source texts more deeply and are designed to be completed sequentially. These vary each month and may include short essays\, writing a story/parable\, designing classes and yoga sequences\, recording meditations\, drawing infographics\, designing your daily routine\, writing a business plan and more. Support and guidance is given to help structure and craft these. We also organise optional Study Groups during the training generally on a Monday or Saturday morning instudio (and live-streamed). No need to worry if you don’t consider yourself a writer or an artist\, support is given to help develop these skills which is an important part of becoming a discerning\, critical thinker and articulate\, confident communicator across varying mediums. There are also monthly online quizzes following each Module which are a blend of multiple choice and short answer questions to complete – to ensure integration of theoretical material.  \n\n\n\nThe time commitment is significant. To really get the most from the course you will need to dedicate at least 4 hours a week to self-study and completing course work. No need to worry if you don’t quite get everything done on time – you will have access to all the course materials online including video lectures and the anatomy program for an extra year following the training\, and if needed you have this extra 12 months to complete the coursework and graduate. There is also the option to graduate with a lesser qualification (300 Hour Certificate – see criteria below). \n\n\n\nPractice & Reflect \n\n\n\nFollowing each Module students are expected to practice what was learnt at home over the month. Practices will include asanas\, mudras\, pranayama\, meditation\, mantra\, chanting. Each month students will complete and submit a ‘Monthly Reflection’ which is essentially a chronicle of your practices and study completed\, obstacles faced\, and any insights gained along the way. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTopics \n\n\n\nThe program content is delivered in 10 sequential modules which each integrate theory and practice. You’ll learn the asana\, pranayama\, meditation\, mudras and mantras relevant to each topic\, building on knowledge\, technique\, practice and teaching methods over 12 months. \n\n\n\nModule 1An Introduction to the World of Yoga; Opening the door to a new way of beingSession 1: Welcome & IntroductionSession 2: The World of YogaSession 3: The Hatha Yoga Method – foundations of an holistic practiceSession 4: Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and the 8 Limbs of YogaModule 2The story of yoga: from ancient to modern; east to west.Session 1: A History of Yoga: from ancient to modern\, east to west.Session 2: Yoga masters\, mystics\, their lineages and methodsSession 3: An ethical foundation: Yamas and NiyamasSession 4: Yoga of the sun\, moon; harnessing the innate energies within​Module 3Finding your own true northSession 1: Kriya Yoga: tapas\, svadhyaya\, and devotion.Session 2: Ishta Devata – finding your inner guide\, choosing a mantra and cultivating a pracitceSession 3: Mystery and Science of the Breath.

Mohan\, Indra Mohan and Svastha Yoga\n\n\n\nBoth Mandy and Robert are certified by Svastha Yoga to teach the Hatha Yoga of Krishnamacharya and have special permission from A.G. Mohan and Indra Mohan to teach and share all they have learnt from these master teachers over fourteen years. \n\n\n\nThe greatest influence on yoga in modern times was undoubtedly the legendary 20th century yogi\, Sri T. Krishnamacharya – a master of yoga\, scholar of all Indian philosophies and a healer of repute. Krishnamacharya is widely considered the ‘father’ of modern yoga\, having taught the world’s most influential teachers and shaping yoga as we know it today. \n\n\n\nA. G. Mohan is one of the senior and highly regarded most yoga masters alive now\, and a direct link to the authentic yoga traditions. A. G. Mohan continues to study\, practice\, and teach. He was a personal student of Sri T. Krishnamacharya for 18 years from 1971 to 1989. With his wife\, Indra\, he originated the Svastha organisation in Chennai\, India. Svastha has an international presence with programs around the world\, and is an authoritative and accessible source of authentic yoga and Ayurveda. They offer training on yoga\, yoga therapy. mindfulness\, mind and body well-being\, and related areas\, combining the best of ancient wisdom and  modern science. \n\n\n\nIndra Mohan has been practicing and teaching yoga for more than three decades. She is one of the few people who received a post-graduate diploma in yoga from Krishnamacharya. Known for her serene demeanour\, she is a source of support and wisdom to her many personal students. \n\n\n\nA.G. Mohan is the lead author of several books by the Mohan family\, some of which are used as essential and recommended reading on this yoga teaching training program and other programs around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey Dates & Costs\n\n\n\nInfo Session & Morning Tea   \n\n\n\ninstudio & online.10.00am-12pm Sat 23 April. Book NowScholarship  apply by 1st May.
