Those seeking teacher certification will practice teaching the poses to the group throughout the weekend. We will also cover additional pose adjustments, refinements, and workarounds that are best given in person.Assessment will be primarily based on how well the specific tenets of teaching Yoga vs. Osteoporosis are incorporated into your teaching, and on how safely and effectively it is taught. Not every version of every pose is accessible to everyone. You will learn to verbally instruct how to do each version of the poses safely, but you do not have to be able to do every version.The Kripalu portion of the program offers a unique opportunity to master the teaching of Yoga vs. Osteoporosis Series 1 poses while receiving feedback from Dr. Fishman, Liz Larson, and other senior members of his teaching team.NOTE: Both parts of the program are geared toward yoga teachers and yoga therapists, but it is open to all, regardless of certification status or previous yoga experience.
