The focus for this foundation course is to open up a whole new world of possibilities for you in the areas of yoga and sport. When you train with Hayley Winter and the team at the Institute of Yoga Sports Science® the knowledge and skills you gain will go beyond a typical asana practice and beyond how you have previously applied yoga. This course introduces you to the key principles of teaching yoga to athletes.   

This course does not qualify you to teach but provides an excellent groundwork for those students who go on and take our 200 Hour Diploma. 

Course Content:

• Discussion on the future of yoga in sport

• Breathing for sports-specific demands

• Understanding anatomical planes of movement in relation to sport

• Deconstruct key yoga postures to benefit athletes movement patterns

• Reconstruct postures with teaching emphasis on biomechanical principles to make yoga poses relevant to athletes

• Enhance your cueing skills 

• Explore how common injuries occur in sport and how yoga reduces the risk of injury

• Practical, theory and group work.

• The course will include anatomical, sport-specific resources and performance analysis software to support students learning.

This course awards 7 Continuing Educational Credits to members of the Yoga Alliance.
