Yoga teacher training is a transformative experience. Especially the hands-on practice teaching. But critical thinking is essential as students to transform into teachers. Active learning promotes critical thinking. Hands Off! 70 Active Learning Strategies was written to provide instructors in yoga teacher training programs with cutting edge learning strategies to engage students and promote critical thinking. Strategies in this book include peer teaching, games, case-based learning, kinesthetic, observational, collaborative, and project-based activities. Study skill activities are also included to help students organize material and retain information. The 70 instructional strategies can be adapted for sessions in the studio, online, and hybrid programs. Activities can be used for informal assessments to help students and instructors recognize progress. This book expands the yoga teacher training toolkit to help make all courses and workshops engaging even when the content is not hands-on.
