Welcome Yogi!
Thank you for choosing One Yoga as your partner for your yoga journey. We are so excited to have you with us for this online yoga teacher training programme. This is the first 100% online yoga teacher training programme in such format in Hong Kong. In this 200-hour programme we will start from the very basic of yoga, covering topics like history, philosophy, yoga anatomy, asana practice and many more.
This programme has been designed to give you maximum flexibility in the way you learn. You have 6-month to complete the programme. The programme comprises 15 sections. Each section contains a variety of sub-sections and lessons. The lessons have been designed to be bite-size and independent of each other. The idea is to make it easy for you to start and stop learning anytime without having to struggle with finding where you last left off.
The section Asana Practice contains a series of yoga lessons of different styles. They are typically 1 hour long. We do recommend you blend that with your study of the other sections so that you have some physical practice regularly during the programme.
Most of the lessons would begin with a short video, followed by some short reading underneath the video. In some lessons there would also be graphic and short reading to aid your learning. We have also included audio sound track of the text in the lesson which you could play to listen if you do not like to read. In most sections there are short quizzes to test your knowledge. There is no pressure in getting all answers right. It is okay even if you fail certain quizzes. The purpose of these quizzes is to help you learn better, not as a source of stress.
In the next lesson you will find the link to the programme manual which you could download and print. The manual would serve as a good resource for revision. You are strongly encouraged to take your own notes along the way. When it comes to the Asana based topics, it is important for you to practice on your own safely after watching the video. After all, you could only master the skills when you use the knowledge you have acquired. It is okay that you can not do some of the poses. Yoga is a journey. It takes time to be able to master certain skills. For some people, even the most capable yogis, it could take years for someone to master a particular Asana. Work hard but do not beat yourself up if you can’t do something on the first try.
While it is recommended that you follow the order of the sections to complete your learning, you are also free to go through these topics in your own preferred order. You have 6-month to complete the programme. This is twice the amount of time available compared to a typical offline programme. It is upto you how quickly you want to complete the programme. Regardless of your learning speed, we strongly recommend that you commit a time every week to do the learning to make it a habit.
