TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS
DeafYoga Foundation plays an important role as a liaison between the Deaf and yoga communities. For years we have been acting as a bridge & advocate for the union of the Deaf & Yoga communities. There are three main ways we are involved in training Deaf & ASL-fluent yoga instructors & Deaf-friendly yoga studios:
-
1)Provide ASL interpreting during Sivananda Yoga Ranch’s Teacher Training Course (TTC), every June.
-
2)Provide training for ASL-fluent yoga teachers and ASL interpreters on visual nuances, signs and deaf yoga etiquette.
-
3)Provide training course for yoga studios, educating the staff & teachers about the Deaf culture & our community’s yoga requirements. (i.e. ASL-fluent instructors, interpreter needs, etc.)
