By Barbara Walker


Exercise, meditation, weight loss, most people have been told that these practices can help balance body, mind and spirit. In recent years, different types of yoga have become popular in the United States and around the world. As a result, there is now a need for hot yoga teacher training DC and other areas.

If interested in leading classes or joining the Original Hot Yoga Association or OHYA, approval is required before starting a program aimed at future teachers. For, the organization has a strong commitment to promote the ongoing practice of hot yoga. As such, those training others how to lead these classes must have a clear understanding of the different forms of the practice.

The primary purpose of OHYA is to train new leaders which can excel and integrate at current and future studios sponsored by organization. As a result, individuals seeking to lead courses need to meet some specific standards as defined by the organization. Whereas, students whom have graduated are required to complete an internship at an OHYA studio.

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.

If an individual has completed a training program in hot yoga outside the OHYA and is not clear if one is qualified to teach a teacher oriented program, the individual can email the OHYA to inquire as to whether the courses taken qualify one to teach at OHYA studios. In most cases, those having had some training in the area can complete a bridge training program in order to qualify to lead such classes.

When looking to teach at OHYA studios, it is important to note that individuals must first obtain approval from the organization. In addition, those interested must also adhere to specific standards as laid out by the OHYA. Most standards refer to teaching methods such as providing instructions in a concise and clear manner, directing activities which are related to the topic and connecting with students on a professional and personal basis.

Assuring students feel welcome, comfortable, safe and stable, performing evaluations and testing students on the ability to accept constructive criticism, teaching from the front of the classroom using a podium, encouraging beginners and connecting with students during and after class while controlling the air flow, oxygen and heat in the environment on an ongoing basis are essential to successful leadership.

Individuals desiring to teach others need to be of strong mind and strong will. Whereas, individuals also need to have completed all steps necessary to become a teacher and lead classes. Whether leading a class to train future teachers, or leading a hot yoga class, these training sessions can often be beneficial on a personal and professional basis.
