Teacher Training Program ~ Student Questionaire

Yoga has been around for a long time. There is a lot of material as well as different branches of yoga to delve into and there are also a lot of ‘cookie cutter’ yoga certifications available which don’t always cover what you really need. It will be helpful to me to know more about you so that I can tailor the class to students’ individual needs, so I have some prelim questions for you… take your time in getting the answers back to me!

  • What style is your primary practice?
  • How often do you practice?
  • What are your personal goals and those for your practice? what are your challenges?
  • Do you practice pranayama and meditation? If so, how often and for how long?
  • Have you taught anyone? or teach on a regular basis? If so… where and how?
  • What goals do you seek to achieve through teacher training?
  • What skills would you like to refine?
  • Do you have an injury or disability that restricts your yoga practice? any health issues?
  • Are you familiar with the eight limbs of yoga?
  • What poses come naturally and are easy for you?
  • What poses are difficult or challenging?
  • Are there any poses you cannot do?
  • What is your experience with the chakra system?
  • Do you have any musical training?
  • Do you have any other training?
  • Any other info you would like to share?
