By Barbara Walker


Meditation and exercise are common practices which can help restore health and balance body, mind and spirit. In fact, Eastern, Western and Holistic practitioners agree that individuals whom exercise and meditate on a regular basis often lead less-stressful lives. As such, there is now a need for individuals to attend hot yoga teacher training DC For, yoga has become even more popular, introducing new styles such as hot and goat yoga over the last few years.

Individuals interested in leading classes in this area or joining the OHYA Directory must obtain approval from the Original Hot Yoga Association or OHYA in order to do so. For, the organization has committed to supporting and promoting hot yoga. While now popular, the form is also known as the 26 & 2 method.

One of the goals of the organization is to train new trainers which can integrate and excel at studios in the local area and around the country. For, in order to achieve this goal, individuals seeking to lead these programs must meet specific standards which can be found on the OHYA website. Whereas, graduating students must complete an internship, join the OHYA and be listed in the directory as a method of community building and sharing.

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.

Individuals whom have completed classes though are not sure the sessions qualify one to lead in the classroom or be included in the Teacher Directory, can verify whether or not one is qualified, or needs to complete an additional bridge training course by contacting the OHYA by email. For, while some programs may be acceptable to the OHYA, there are others which may not have covered all the aspects necessary for teaching others.

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.

Making students feel safe, stable, welcome and comfortable, providing evaluations on the ability of students to receive constructive criticism, leading from the front of the class using a desk or podium, encouraging newcomers, connecting with students before, during and after class, controlling the air flow, heat and oxygen in the classroom on an ongoing basis and teaching students to empower and heal oneself and others are also essential when leading an OHYA program.

Whether attending a OHYA training session for teachers, or teaching classes, both can be rewarding. It is important to note that those training teachers often spend more time in the classroom than traditional yoga teachers. As such, attending courses focused on teaching others how to teach can often require individuals with a flexible schedule.
