Curriculum
章節零 Chapter Zero · Grounding · Awareness
For anyone who wants to look more closely at the practice they already do. Whether you intend to teach or simply to deepen your own practice, the change starts with understanding yourself — and from there, seeing what other bodies need. This chapter is practical, hands-on knowledge: it builds the foundation the rest of the training stands on.
Foundational philosophy
- The yogic worldview
- OM — past, present and future
- The eight limbs: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi
- Nadi theory
- Chakra theory — emotion, colour and focus
- Traditional yoga philosophy
- Yoga history and its figures; the origins and meaning of Hatha; modern yoga theory; the main benefits of practice
- Bringing yoga into teaching and daily life; natural pranayama; the purpose and benefit of breath; natural diaphragmatic breathing
Anatomy and physiology
- Joints and muscles; theories of shaping and elasticity; tension and compression
- The body's major systems; connective tissue
- The three structural layers of a joint; why strengthening joints and muscles matters
- A segmented study of the fourteen joints used in yoga practice
Practical work
- Breakdown and discussion of more than 80 postures
- Five sun salutation and vinyasa sequences
- Props and variations; hands-on adjustment; safety guidelines
- Practice teaching; planning a basic class; the conduct and ethics of a teacher
章節一 Chapter One · Stillness · Perception
This chapter deepens teaching skill and knowledge, and looks after the inner work. When good alignment moves with the breath, the body becomes steady, concentration sharpens, and the flow of energy inside becomes something you can actually feel.
Philosophy
- Cultivating the art of stilling the mind; concentration, meditation, insight
- Yin and yang; working with yin energy; an introduction to the meridians
- Pranayama; yogic diet; cleansing and wellbeing
- Ayurveda — what it is, its types and eating habits
- Describing asana; skeletal differences between upper body, trunk and lower body; Sanskrit breakdown of postures; the character and principles of different asanas
Practical work
- Posture breakdown and discussion; applying anatomy
- Taking postures apart through standing, seated, supine, twisting, backbending, arm balancing and inversions
- Props and variations; different adjustment methods for effective training
- Class planning and practice teaching
- Variation, sequencing and safety in asana; drishti; the movement of energy and its corresponding postures
章節二 Chapter Two · Full Moon · Transformation
Building on what is already there, this chapter brings in further philosophy and technique so you can reflect on and lift your existing knowledge. As the closing chapter it is about walking your own path at a pace that suits you — and becoming a teacher who shares honestly and teaches to the person in front of them.
Philosophy
- Studying the yoga classics; the six Kriyas (cleansing practices)
- Fascia theory; reading the twelve fascial lines; training them and the postures that match
- Yoga on the energetic level; the five Koshas
Practical work
- Chanting; practising the cleansing techniques
- Posture breakdown and discussion; one-to-one teaching skill
- Working with injury and strain; props and variations; hands-on adjustment
- Marketing and running a yoga business; practice teaching
- Advanced class planning — sequencing along the fascial lines

Frequently asked questions
Can I start teaching straight after the course?
Yes. Everything taught on this course gives you the grounding and the skills you need to teach. Some students use it to deepen a personal practice or as a life-changing experience; others use it to begin teaching immediately, and some go on to further training. OMIYOGA invites graduates to assist with or lead future teaching events.
Will OMIYOGA help me register with Yoga Alliance?
After you complete the training we send you the link to register with Yoga Alliance. Our course and our school are both accredited, which means graduates are approved when they apply — for the 200-hour or the 500-hour certification, on whatever schedule suits you.
What if I have to miss a class?
Students on this programme are expected to commit and to attend as much as they can. If you genuinely have to miss a session, tell us during the application so we can consider it.
Will I receive a certificate at the end?
Complete the course and pass all assessments and you receive OMIYOGA's teacher training certificate, which is Yoga Alliance accredited.

YACEP 30-hour Yoga Wheel Teacher Training (Level 1 + 2)
The yoga wheel opens the chest, the shoulders and the back, and improves the mobility of the spine. As a therapeutic tool it eases the shoulder, spine and lower-back pain that city living produces; as a practice it builds the backbends, inversions, balance and core strength that more advanced asanas ask for. Taught by Naomi Chan, who trained with the founders of the Original New York Dharma Yoga Wheel.
