When it comes to exercise and meditation, there are a number of options. While this is the case, different types of yoga have become popular over the last few decades. As a result, hot yoga teacher training DC and other forms of the practice are now accepting students and teachers. For, there are a number of OHYA studios which are currently in need of teachers.

Teachers interested in leading classes or being included in the Original Hot Yoga Association or OHYA Directory require approval before teaching a course. For, the OHYA has a strong commitment to promote and support hot yoga. While extremely popular around the world, the practice is also known as the 26 & 2 method.

The primary goal of the organization is to train new teachers which can easily integrate and excel at current and future OHYA studios in different areas. In order to achieve this goal, those seeking to lead classes must meet OHYA standards which include different categories of study and minimum hours as defined by the OHYA. Whereas, graduating students are expected to complete an internship at a studio in the area of residency and join the OHYA as a method of uniting the hot yoga community.

Once having graduated, OHYA studios which are part of the organization often hire individuals which have graduated from OHYA sponsored programs, received a Level 1 Seal in the OHYA directory and completed an internship. It should be noted that there is a zero tolerance policy related sexual harassment or other improper behavior. As such, if individuals experience improper behavior, it is important to call local police, then file a report with the OHYA as soon as possible.

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.

Individuals seeking approval to teach a training class for teachers have to meet specific standards, file an application and be listed in the directory once approved. These standards include mindfully connecting with students as individuals and part of a group, merging personality with training methods, providing instructions which relate to the trainee, delivering instruction in a concise and clear manner and maintaining a personal practice outside the classroom.

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.

Individuals desiring to teach others need to be of strong mind and strong will. Whereas, individuals also need to have completed all steps necessary to become a teacher and lead classes. Whether leading a class to train future teachers, or leading a hot yoga class, these training sessions can often be beneficial on a personal and professional basis.
