FROM KNOWLEDGE TO CAPABILITY

What you will be able to do.

Adults wishing to discover yoga or bring more structure to personal practice. Previous experience, movement options and learning goals are discussed beforehand; individual medical questions require appropriate professional assessment.

  • Connect movement with natural breathing
  • Choose suitable variations and supports
  • Plan a realistic personal practice sequence

YOUR LEARNING JOURNEY

A structured programme. Room for your priorities.

These modules form the core programme. Where useful, we refine the emphasis, examples and learning activities to reflect your professional context, starting point and objectives.

01

Breathing and attention

Learn to notice natural breathing during simple movements. The introductory approach avoids forced breathing techniques and responds to your comfort. Short observation exercises help you adjust pace, effort and pauses while considering how different instructions influence your understanding of the movement.

02

Foundational postures

Explore selected positions with clear explanations of stability and movement direction. Practice allows for individual differences and suitable supports where needed. The objective is not to reproduce a perfect shape, but to understand the movement and manage the demands appropriately.

03

Mobility and range

Explore your available range gradually without forced stretching. Distinguish active movement, assistance and rest. Feedback supports the choice of an appropriate variation; pain or other warning signs are reasons to stop and, where necessary, seek assessment rather than push through.

04

Concentration and rest

Short attention and rest periods complement physical practice. Choose positions and durations that are suitable for you. Discuss the distinction between general relaxation and medical or psychological treatment, without promising a particular health outcome or suggesting that rest exercises address every difficulty.

05

Building a sequence

Combine individual postures into manageable sequences with clear transitions. Plan preparation, changes in demand and a suitable ending. Examples show how to adapt a session to space, available time and day-to-day circumstances rather than pursuing the same intensity on every occasion.

06

Making practice sustainable

Create a personal plan with realistic time slots and clear opportunities for rest. Swiss physical activity recommendations provide general context for a varied active lifestyle. Yoga is considered one possible component, not automatically a replacement for all other forms of physical activity.

GOOD TO KNOW

Your questions, answered.

Who is this programme for?

Adults wishing to discover yoga or bring more structure to personal practice. Previous experience, movement options and learning goals are discussed beforehand; individual medical questions require appropriate professional assessment. The programme is available to private individuals and organisations, including company teams. OSAM welcomes learners living or working in Switzerland as well as international participants joining live online.

How is this qualification recognised?

OSAM is an eduQua-certified continuing education institution. An OSAM certificate documents the learning agreed for your programme; eduQua is a quality label for the institution, not federal recognition of every individual course.

OSAM’s work connects individual professional development with the needs of companies in Switzerland and internationally. Client references and learner reviews below offer a practical view of that work.

What are the benefits of this programme?

You develop skills you can apply in real situations, with guidance from experienced practitioners and access to learning materials on the OSAM platform. The programme focuses on these outcomes:

  • Explore introductory postures with control
  • Connect movement with natural breathing
  • Choose suitable variations and supports
  • Plan a realistic personal practice sequence
Can the programme be personalised?

Yes. We start with the established programme and refine the emphasis, practical cases and learning support where useful. Adjustments take account of the individual or company’s professional context, existing skills and goals. The agreed programme is confirmed before enrolment; federal examination requirements remain binding where applicable.

What are the entry requirements?

For the OSAM certificate, contact us to review your current level, prior experience and objectives. We will confirm the appropriate entry requirements and any recommended preparation.

Is this a yoga teacher qualification?

The programme described here supports personal practice and continuing education. It does not automatically confer a teaching qualification or professional association recognition. A vocational teaching goal requires a separately agreed pathway and review of its requirements.

Can I participate if I have physical symptoms?

Suitability depends on your circumstances. Adaptations are discussed before training; pain, medical conditions or uncertainty may require professional assessment. This course is not a substitute for physiotherapy or other healthcare.

Can sessions take place online?

Delivery is agreed with OSAM. Remote sessions need suitable space, a useful camera position and clear feedback. In-person teaching may be appropriate when it better supports safe instruction, observation and the agreed learning objectives.

Where could these skills take you?

Depending on your experience and qualifications, this subject can support development in the following professional directions.
