Syllabus ; Daily Schedule ;
Location ; How to get there
This 200 hour Yoga Teachers Training course has an interdisciplinary
approach that will draw from several mainstream traditions as well as the instructors own wide experience.
As a teacher you need to guide people so that they can not only do the
poses without injury but do them in a way suited to
their own present condition. Its not only important to know how to adapt any
pose but also to know which alternatives may be better suited. Emphasis is on
getting prana (or energy) to flow while doing the
poses, to understand their therapeutic benefits and for each person to practice
with enjoyment, correct breathing and sincerity.
