UNIVERSITY OF MUMBAI
Teacher Training Certificate Course In Yoga
(With Effect from the Year 2017 -18)
INTRODUCTION:
The tradition of Yoga has always been passed on individually from teacher to student through
oral teaching and practical demonstration. The formal techniques that are now known as Yoga
are, therefore, based on the collective experiences of many individuals over many thousands of
years. The particular manner in which the techniques are taught and practiced today depends on
the approach pass ed down in the line of teachers supporting the individual practitioner. Yoga is
essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on
establishing harmony between mind, body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony
between man and nature and a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
Yoga is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with ourselves, the world and
Nature. It is an art and science for healthy living. The word "Yoga" is derived from the Sanskrit
root ‘yuj’ meaning "to join", "to yoke" or "to unite". Therefore the aim of yoga is to unite the
individual consciousness with the supreme consciousness. Yoga is a science and art of living;
also it is a body of techniques that lead us to consciously connect with ourselves and with life,
the experience of yoga. As yoga is an art and science, there is no dogma or belief system
attached to it. Yoga tells us to do a certain practice and feel their effects following the practice,
e.g. if we br eath slowly in a relaxed manner we will slow our heart rate; if we focus the mind we
will develop mental peace and deep insight. In addition to this, Yoga is becoming popular day by
day and has become a wave which is sweeping across the globe. In this cou rse we introduce yoga
as a science of Holistic Living and not merely as yoga postures.
This module will focus on the qualities of a good yoga teacher with an emphasis on teaching
methodology, e.g. how to communicate with students, how to demonstrate, obs erve the student
in the class to avoid injury during practice of asana. We will also discuss the personal and
professional ethics of a yoga teacher.
