In Studio Training for 2025:
Musculoskeletal Assessment for Yoga Teachers
This program will be held in-person at Crofton Yoga (Crofton, MD).
This course builds upon basic anatomy with the intention of further developing a teacher’s observational and assessment skills to enhance their personal practice and their work with students. These are most effectively used in a one-on-one environment, however, the practitioner or teacher can also benefit from a greater understanding of assessment techniques for use in group settings.
Students will learn musculoskeletal assessment techniques by developing their knowledge of the terms: mobility & flexibility, facilitated vs. inhibited, agonist vs. antagonist, symmetry, range of motion, tone vs. atrophy, balance, and perceived source of pain. Learning will take place through group observation, yoga practice, and one-on-one assessments. Basic yoga postures will set the observation platform.
Students who have participated in Pranakriya’s 200-hour yoga teacher training will have a solid foundation for participation in this course. We welcome yoga teachers from all traditions to join us for this program which earns 20 YA CEUs. CLICK HERE for more details and registration
Understanding the Hatha Yoga Pradipika
This program will be offered in-person at Crofton Yoga (Maryland) and simultaneously live via Zoom. It meets the philosophy requirement for Pranakriya’s 300-hour program and may be used for 34 hours elective credit. 34 YA CEUs.
The Hatha Yoga Pradipika is an ancient yogic text written in the 15th century. This text describes the original “spiritual technology” that was the purpose behind the asanas, pranayamas, and meditations that have evolved into the yoga practice we have today. Learn more about why yoga is the way it is and enrich your practice by learning more about how it was intended to unfold. Pick up pieces that have been lost along the way.
