Diploma in Yoga Teaching

Our Diploma in Yoga Teaching course is finally here! Our Academy is the FIRST and ONLY Academy in Malaysia to offer a UK Accredited Diploma in Yoga Teaching course. Adhering to a comprehensive syllabus as established by the UK, our Diploma in Yoga Teaching enables learners to gain the necessary practical and theoretical skills in order to plan and instruct Yoga.

In our institution, we produce Yoga teachers who do not only demonstrate flexibility and are able to carry out complicated Asanas (postures). We place very high importance for all of our Yoga graduates to be thoroughly educated in the Science of Yoga and Anatomy. This is what makes our Academy unique. Just as what the World Health Organisation has declared, we at Sandhya Maarga fully embrace the potential of Yoga as a form of therapy. The therapeutic benefits of Yoga practice are becoming more recognised around the globe, especially since the past few years.

Hence, our Academy offers a Diploma in Yoga Teaching to acquaint students with the industries of Yoga, Sports & Fitness as a whole and holistic wellness.

Students will be taught Anatomy and Physiology, the history and philosophy of Yoga, meditation and its Science, Pranayama, Traditional Asanas & Sandhya Maarga Asanas, Class Structuring, Sandhya Maarga Yoga Syllabus, Specialised Yoga for Children, Prenatal Yoga, Yoga for the Elderly and Yoga for other ailments and conditions.

These Yogasanas are taught systematically so that each student reaps their full benefits. Furthermore, instructors at Sandhya Maarga aim to educate their students on the basics of Yoga and raise their awareness on such practices. Sandhya Maarga students (for most of the Yoga courses at SMHLA) will therefore find instructors explaining the benefits of each Asana so that the students do not only follow their instructors' directions, but are also aware how each Asana helps them achieve their goal. During our Diploma in Yoga Teaching classes, emphasis is placed on safety and precautions as well as training the student to develop the ability to modify and adapt postures to ensure the benefits received by each student in a class is maximised.

Sandhya Maarga Yoga has been featured on international media such as Eagle Broadcasting Corporation, Global News Network and Malaysia's NTV7's famous breakfast show "Good Morning Tai Tai" every week.

Our dedication in the field of natural health does not merely stop at teaching Yoga courses. The Academy also actively organises & participates in international health conferences to further enhance the syllabus that we teach our students.
Not only will our graduates be exposed to the different approaches of maintaining health holistically, they will also be given the opportunity to manage a Sandhya Maarga Yoga studio in the future (subject to terms & conditions).
