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.

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.

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.

For individuals whom are not sure a program qualifies one to apply for the OHYA Teacher Directory, verification can be completed by contacting the OHYA by email. While this is the case, there may be a need to complete an additional bridge program before the teacher can be listed.

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.

Controlling the air flow, oxygen and heat in the classroom is essential for the comfort and safety of teachers and students. In addition, leading from the front of the room using a podium or desk while teaching is required by those providing instruction to others. Whereas, teaching how to heal and empower others are considered important aspects when leading a class to train teachers to train other students in the future.

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.
