There is a significant focus within this course to support you to gain knowledge, understanding and practical application of yoga techniques, and to teach these techniques and practices effectively to your future students with confidence. As a result we have created an innovative approach to comprehensively study the techniques of yoga practice as in depth study of asana as a teaching application through the Asana Labs component and provides a compilation of information in both the theory and practical application of the principles and practices of Yoga techniques. 2.
