There has to be something in the training that teaches yoga teachers how to leverage technology... start training these kids how to operate and how to function in an AI world?
Ever wondered what a modern yoga teacher training program should look like? In this episode of The Asana Academy Podcast, host Brian Aganad breaks down the essentials for today's yoga instructors. Brian argues that functional anatomy education is crucial, as understanding the body's mechanics can make or break a yoga teacher's effectiveness. But that's not all—he also stresses the importance of business and marketing skills, which are often overlooked in traditional training programs.
These skills can help teachers build successful, sustainable careers in an increasingly competitive field. Technology integration is another key topic Brian tackles. With the rise of online classes and digital resources, knowing how to leverage technology is more important than ever. He even touches on the relevance of mindset training, helping teachers cultivate the mental resilience needed to thrive. One of the standout points in this episode is the gap between ancient yoga texts and modern practices.
Brian suggests that while historical texts have their place, a critical understanding of functional anatomy and biomechanics is far more valuable in today's context. This episode is a goldmine for both current and aspiring yoga teachers, offering practical advice and forward-thinking strategies to elevate your teaching game.
