Let us
teach you the basics of yoga and what you should know before you start.
Yoga has an
ancient history (more than 3000 years) and a deep spiritual connection. Yoga
teachers have been passing on the unique knowledge of yoga and yoga philosophy
for centuries. During a yoga teacher training programme, you get to know
yourself and you learn to listen inwards. You gain in-depth knowledge of the
yoga philosophy, which is so much more than just physical movements and
positions.
Becoming a
yoga teacher means not only getting a professional training but also starting a
fascinating journey within yourself. During this programme, you will acquire
the basic knowledge of yoga. You will learn all the fundamental positions, how
to create yoga sequences (Vinyasa) and how to build a successful and appealing
yoga class.
Furthermore,
you will understand how to effectively teach your interested students, modify
positions, and deal with the emotions that may arise in your students when
performing different positions and exercises.
You will
also develop verbal communication skills to help your students maintain focus
during class.
You will
learn how to teach from a place of deep calm and confidence so that your
students leave your yoga class with a sense of peace, inner strength and
personal success.
To
strengthen your teaching skills, you will receive a solid theoretical
background covering yoga anatomy, yoga philosophy, the teachings of the eight
branches of yoga, the teachings of Chakras, Nadis, subtle energy, breathing
techniques, meditation, mindfulness, acceptance and self-compassion. You will
learn how to receive your students, communicate with different communication
styles and how body language and behaviour can reveal imbalances in your
students' bodies.
After
completing the programme, you will be fully prepared to teach based on your own
understanding and experience of yoga as a philosophy and method of life.
The style
of this programme is Vinyasa Yoga based on Asthanga Yoga. The movements in
Vinyasa Yoga are coordinated with the breath and flow from one pose to the
next. This is a yoga style that can be varied in intensity depending on the
skills of the participants and thus is a great broad style to start with. You
can later expand to other yoga styles.
The training covers about 6 weeks of full-time studies.
You can study at any study pace.
