Yoga is holism and the practice of Yoga is an inner journey towards Self-realization; holistic-realization. As a Yoga teacher of a Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program, I believe that yoga teachers have a responsibility to not only teach, but to support students along their inner journey. To do this I recommend teachers emphasize Yoga as an individual path, utilize current teaching methods that also mirror the ancient philosophy of Yoga and practice seven holistic teaching principles based upon the chakra system. Included at the end, are several appendixes that serve as evidence of the project based worked in designing an YTT curriculum.
