Don’t forget to PLAY!
Have fun & don’t take yourself or YOGA too seriously!
As you finish up your practicum requirements, here is how the certification process looks:
Once you have recorded a class, please upload it on YouTube for me to watch. If you do not want to figure out HOW to do this, then you must get your recorded video to me in some other way that I will leave up to you! If you need assistance posting to YouTube, just let me know. This will be a good skill for you to learn for the future, just in case you ever want to share via Youtube!
Once I have watched your video, we will set up a time to meet (in-person if at all possible) and go over feedback.
At this meeting, you will also come prepared with your completed WRITTEN FINAL TESTS, ALL HOMEWORK INCLUDING YOUR JOURNAL AND POSE SHEETS, your 200-hr CHECKLIST from your yoga binder with everything checked off, any make-up work you’ve done and haven’t submitted to me yet.
I will take and go through your final test over the following week or so and then I will get you your official CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION FOR YOUR 200-hr TEACHER TRAINING!!!!!! You will be an official 200-hr Trauma-Informed Body-Connected Yoga Instructor!
Practicum Hours include:
10 hours of assisting in my classes or one another’s classes or any other teacher who gives you permission
Assisting for my class can include:
Hands-on adjustments throughout class
Savasana adjustments
Front desk and studio support
Karma Yoga — uplifting the studio space — practicing SAUCHA: cleanliness — ask Katie directly if you would like to clean the studio for assisting credit hours
10 hours of observing any classes (you have permission for mine and all other Mosaic instructors)
Either fill out an Audit sheet or write your own reflections (at least 1 page) in your journal or notebook (see PDFs section if you want to print extra copies of the Audit Sheet)
*John Cottrell is the only instructor who has kindly requested an email ahead of time if you would like to observe one of his classes. EMAIL JOHN.
10 hours of teaching — *only ONE class needs to be recorded for review
Class must be AT LEAST 30 minutes long in teaching time. But if you want to teach 60 minute classes, practice teaching 60 minute classes. If you want to teach 90 minute classes, practice teaching 90 minute classes! Ya feel? What you practice is what you become!
2 INTRO classes
1 Restore class
1 Power class
The rest are up to you!
Please make sure you have ALL of your required homework done as well as everything in your 200-hr Checklist checked off before setting up a meeting to get feedback for your recorded class, submit your Final Written Tests, and show me all your completed practicum requirements!
Please be as ORGANIZED as possible when you show up for this meeting. THANK YOU!!!
