A
new online course aims to get more yoga teachers
confident and ready to take their work into the
corporate environment — perhaps the place where
it is needed the most in an era of achey backs and
sedentary living.
Office Yoga Virtual Teacher Training is a stand-alone, online
training package by San Francisco-based yogini Kim Sin.
The comprehensive, 15-hour course is designed to give yoga
instructors the confidence and business skills necessary to deliver
yoga and meditation classes in the workplace.
The founder of Kim Sin Yoga is the right person for the job.
In 2012, she created the Bay Area’s first company to specialise in
teaching office yoga. Since then she’s worked with founders and teams
at AirBnB, Zendesk, Gap, Tinder, and over 100 other companies to
deliver mindfulness-based yoga and meditation classes.
“I’ve been working with my teachers guiding them on how to
teach safe, effective yoga with engaging classes that counterbalance
the effects of sitting and working at a computer,” she tells OM. “We
practice using simple and accessible language while we share the
ancient tradition of yoga and mindfulness to some of the most
forward-thinking companies in the Bay Area.”
In addition to the poses and sequencing, the training provides
students with the business skills necessary to start and grow a yoga
services business. These insights also include templates and a step-
by-step guide for instructors to sell and market their services to large
and small companies.
