In this month-long course you will learn to teach and understand:

• the technology of asana - how to teach beginners
• exploring the breathing body - teaching pranayama
• introduction to Samkhya philosophy and Ayurveda
• anatomy for yogis
• teaching meditation ISHTA style
  
• yoga philosophy
• voice production and teaching skills
• therapeutic yoga
• kirtan (devotional singing)
• the development of creativity and intuition

The program runs 5 days per week, starting with a weekend intensive and includes 1 Saturday in the final week. Each day will start with the ISHTA diksha, a meditation based on the principles of Yogananda’s Kriya yoga, followed by a strong vinyasa practice, combining Iyengar-based alignment with emphasis on the breath.

On other days your practice will be the easy sequence, which by the end of the course will enable you to teach to beginner level students. This easy sequence has an emphasis on modifications and variations.

On completion of this course, you will have a profound understanding of the principles of teaching yoga, however it is important to realise you may not necessarily be ready to teach. If you are already teaching or have experience in related fields this course will give you clear tools and techniques for teaching beginning students. If you are less experienced this course will help you develop the discipline for a meditation and asana practice and further your inquiry into the deeper levels of yoga.

Being a yoga teacher is a vocation of the heart; your skills ripen from years of practice, persistence and inner transformation. Embarking on the journey to become a yoga teacher is an opportunity to discover more of who you are and how to share that with others.
