Achieve a 200-hour yoga teacher training of inner transformation and deep immersion in a peaceful yogic lifestyle, all with the guidance and support of seasoned practitioners.
The aim of the training is to develop qualified and inspiring yoga teachers who are capable of imparting the yoga experience to others by drawing on their own practice and personal discipline.
The curriculum is based on five points of yoga;
which can be thought of as the practical application of the traditional four paths of yoga.
All aspects of the course require a high level of self-motivation. A basic understanding of yoga postures and philosophy is beneficial but not essential. A genuine desire to learn and an openness to yoga’s teachings are necessary. Yoga practice, and particularly yoga teaching, require a high level of self-discipline and purity.
