200-hour Myofascial Yoga Teacher Training Module
Adjustments in yoga have become more and more commonplace in classes, but are we doing them properly? Find out how you can engage your student’s entire fascia system with hands-on adjustments during this module and earn Yoga Alliance continuing education credits or work toward your yoga teacher training certification.
“You are working with fascia whether you are aware of it or not. How much better could we do if we touched fascia consciously? Touch your clients with that awareness and your results will deepen.” -Thomas Myers
The importance of cueing in yoga
Cueing is when we make verbal statements that direct our students to enter a certain pose. Too often, however, instructors are taught to simply rattle off “cookie cutter cueing” as if from a script. In this module, you will learn the intentions behind the poses you are directing, and how to cue these poses effectively, safely, and in a trauma-informed manner. The training will also cover the effects of yoga poses on the nervous system, particularly how it affects pain levels and inflammation within the body.
This goal is to bring together the intention of each yoga pose (why we are doing it), the action of each pose (flexion, extension, etc.) and their effects (increases hip mobility, quiets the nervous system, etc). Having your yoga poses itemized in this way makes the cueing much easier, because you then understand exactly why you are doing the position, how it benefits you, and what you should be feeling as a result.

- How to cue in yoga classes safely and effectively
