International Yoga School SYM200 HOUR HATHA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING![]()
Hatha yoga is experiencing the movement of prana through the body, a life enhancing and profoundly therapeutic process.
Principal SYT: Gerry RixenThis 200 hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training is registered by Yoga Alliance International YAI and International Yoga Federation. The course includes accommodation, breakfast and 2 full meals a day (except free days), text books, Yoga Alliance International and SYM Certifications. Course DescriptionThe course reflects an energetic and therapeutic approach to yoga in line with the instructors' wide ranging experience which includes: 30 years experience as a professional shiatsu therapist and teacher. Sequences taught are designed to improve both strength and flexibility as well as bring awareness to the flow of subtle energy through the body. The course emphasizes teaching from beginner to intermediary levels. It therefore concentrates on safety, the use of props, correct breathing and alignment, restorative asana, relaxation and meditation as well as more dynamic and strong asanas to improve strength, endurance and will power. Students need to respect their own limitations and are not expected to exercise beyond their own physical capacities. However all students should be in general good health both physically and emotionally, in order to complete this course with the focus and dedication it requires. Course ObjectivesThis program will enable future graduates to teach with confidence. The sequences taught are designed to provide an excellent foundation to all the basic poses, to teach avoiding any injury and where necessary adapt poses and sequences for differing physical levels and needs. Emphasis is on getting prana (energy) to flow while doing the poses, to understand their therapeutic benefits and for each person to practice with enjoyment, correct breathing, correct alignment and sincerity: Ultimately harmonizing mind, body and energy. The spiritual notions of yoga can also be found in other philosophical/spiritual traditions such as Buddhism or the Western traditions. This will be looked at more closely in the yoga philosophy classes.
