The Stress Management Teacher Training program provides a strong foundation in understanding the nature of stress (physiological and psychological). It shows how the Yoga practices can help individuals respond more skillfully to “stressful” situations and create more balance in their lives. It’s not a matter of escaping our lives, but of understanding what changes we can realistically make with Yoga providing the foundation and guiding principles. This is also an excellent opportunity to meet and spend time with other Yoga teachers and to find solutions to any challenges you encounter in teaching.

Our approach to stress management is based on a Yoga model, with references to medical and other models as useful and necessary.

The curriculum will include:

• Adapting asanas, pranayama, meditation and deep relaxation to be presented in different settings as stress management and/or wellness techniques
Presenting skillful ways Yoga philosophy can deal with some of the most negative aspects of stress and illness
• Outlines of “stress management” and “mind-body” wellness programs that will be responsive to the needs of your students in different time frames and different settings
• What to say to different potential employers, whether it’s a hospital/HMO, private/corporate, or non-profit organization
• How to make presentations to groups (public speaking) and to facilitate group discussions about stress management and wellness with your students
• Marketing strategies: how to set up a Yoga/stress management practice, including publicity, fees and promotion
