What type of yoga do we learn through Yoga Hive?

Our program is inspired by the Kriya Yoga lineage of Babaji, Hatha and Vinyasa styles of yoga, and Energy Medicine Yoga. Trainees will learn how to sequence their own classes utilizing a creative combination of these elements, at their own pace.

Although no one is expected to teach yoga post-graduation, we do create space for practice teaching so that the material becomes ingrained in each trainee.  We will experience many different styles including Yin, Restorative, transitions and postures, and experiment with sequencing a gentle yoga class (slow pace), a Hatha Flow (medium pace), and a Vinyasa Flow (faster pace), and whether you intend to teach upon the conclusion of the program or you're taking it for personal development, rest assured you will feel confident with sequencing and teaching many different ability levels! 

By the end of the training, you will have first-hand experience teaching a full yoga class! This is the BEST way to culminate your training!

The 4 Pillars of Becoming a Yoga Hive Teacher

These 4 principles are the core qualities behind Yoga Hive’s 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training They are embedded into every lecture and class and are what makes Yoga Hive trained teachers so unique.
Daily Practice
Having a personal spiritual practice is the key to being an embodied teacher. When the teacher is embedded in their own practice, they teach students from their own body wisdom and from the heart. They live what they teach. A daily practice is the most important aspect of this training and gives birth to all of the other pillars.
Subtle Body
Awakening the subtle energetic body through yoga is what makes a Yoga Hive practice so magical. A Yoga Hive teacher knows how to awaken their energy body, how to control it and has the ability to teach others how to activate their energy bodies. You will be taught these ancient practices in a way that is simple and effective.
Soulful Classes
Together with the postures, Yoga Hive teachers are initiated into techniques that awaken the subtle energy body- including breath, asana, kriya kundalini, energy medicine yoga, and meditation. Our teachers create classes that are soulful. We will teach you how to weave traditional yogic techniques artfully & creatively into a holistic, modern yoga practice.
Embodiment
The secret key that makes teaching yoga both effortless and a joy. This training allows the teachings to land deeply in your own body, so that you can teach them in a way that is authentic to you. Teaching in this way draws upon your personal energy, bringing an intuitive, sensitive creativity to all you teach.
