Leading A Hot Yoga Teacher Training DC

By Barbara Walker


When it comes to exercise and meditation, there are a number of options. While this is the case, different types of yoga have become popular over the last few decades. As a result, hot yoga teacher training DC and other forms of the practice are now accepting students and teachers. For, there are a number of OHYA studios which are currently in need of teachers.

If interested in leading classes or joining the Original Hot Yoga Association or OHYA, approval is required before starting a program aimed at future teachers. For, the organization has a strong commitment to promote the ongoing practice of hot yoga. As such, those training others how to lead these classes must have a clear understanding of the different forms of the practice.

The primary goal of the organization is to train new teachers which can easily integrate and excel at current and future OHYA studios in different areas. In order to achieve this goal, those seeking to lead classes must meet OHYA standards which include different categories of study and minimum hours as defined by the OHYA. Whereas, graduating students are expected to complete an internship at a studio in the area of residency and join the OHYA as a method of uniting the hot yoga community.

Students often find positions at different OHYA once having graduated from a teacher oriented program. In order to acquire such a position, it is important to have a level 1 seal in the directory, completed an internship and have completed a training program. It should be noted that all classes, programs, sessions and studios have a zero tolerance for improper behavior, including sexual harassment. As such, if a student or teacher feels there has been an infraction of this nature, it is important to send an email report to the OHYA and notify the local police or other authorities.

For individuals whom are not sure a program qualifies one to apply for the OHYA Teacher Directory, verification can be completed by contacting the OHYA by email. While this is the case, there may be a need to complete an additional bridge program before the teacher can be listed.

Teachers whom are looking for approval must meet the organizational standards as laid out by OHYA and file an application. Some of these standards include personal practice, delivering instructions in a strong clear manner, providing instructions which relate to the trainee, merging personality traits with training methods and mindfully connecting with students on an individual and group level.

Assuring students feel welcome, comfortable, safe and stable, performing evaluations and testing students on the ability to accept constructive criticism, teaching from the front of the classroom using a podium, encouraging beginners and connecting with students during and after class while controlling the air flow, oxygen and heat in the environment on an ongoing basis are essential to successful leadership.

Ultimately, those wishing to teach others how to lead training sessions need to be strong-willed and strong-minded. In addition, these individuals must have completed all the necessary steps to become trainers and have led classes. After which, the choice whether to teach a OHYA class, or lead a training session to train others is up to each graduate of the OHYA program.
