Posture Correction
- Learn Posture Correction and Alignment at Aadi Yoga Center Bangkok
- A good yoga teacher does more than demonstrate poses. They see what is happening in a student’s body and know how to guide it safely. At Aadi Yoga Center Bangkok, our teacher training course builds this skill, so you graduate able to teach with precision and confidence.
- You’ll study the alignment principles behind each posture across Hatha, Ashtanga, and Restorative yoga. You’ll learn how the feet, knees, hips, spine, shoulders, and neck work together in each pose, and why a small change in one place can transform the whole posture. Understanding the “why” behind alignment lets you adapt poses to different body types, levels, and limitations instead of teaching one rigid form.
