Ep 136: What 200-Hour YTTs Miss and Why Teachers Aren't Prepared

Most yoga teachers graduate from their 200-hour training with a solid foundation in philosophy, history, sequencing, and anatomy, and almost no preparation for the injured, painful, complex students who are in their classes every day. This episode examines the specific gaps in how teacher trainings currently approach injury education, what those gaps cost teachers, and three foundational changes that would make a meaningful difference without requiring yoga teacher trainings to overhaul their entire curriculum.I'll cover the following problems that need to be addressed:The Way Anatomy Is TaughtWhy Current Practice Teaching Doesn't Prepare TeachersThe Amount Of Classes Trainees Take & What Happens In Those ClassesWhy Props and Modifications Aren't Always The SolutionThree Things Trainings Could Do DifferentlyHow Continuing Education HelpsBook a Strategy CallMonica facilitates anatomy trainings for yoga teachers and mentors teachers who want to build a practice grounded in real anatomical understanding.
