Wondering what to look for in a yoga teacher training? We lay it out for you on this episode, focusing on the 8 elements we think are essential.
We talk through the importance of adapting asana to modern knowledge and safety standards, the significance of understanding yoga anatomy in a functional context, and prioritizing strength and stability in practice. We also touch on the need for a thorough understanding of yoga philosophy, and some of the foundational texts to look for on the syllabus.
