Our Motivation
To facilitate a four week intensive program, sharing all aspects of yoga with a group of enthusiastic students is the greatest joy for a dedicated teacher; as such, we find nothing more rewarding than running teacher training courses. Doing so fills us with meaning and purpose.
Yoga has affected our lives profoundly, leading us to take it as our life path to share this timeless wisdom with others. If you are reading this page, you have likely also been strongly affected by yoga. Now is the time to take the next step in your journey. Even if you have no call to teach… if one seeks to really understand any subject, the best way is to learn to teach it.
We deem it of the utmost importance to give you a full understanding of yoga. We strive to transmute the essence of yoga as best we can, putting forth the core teachings and practices, allowing you to reap the full scheme of benefits that yoga offers, hence being able to offer this forward to your students.
Our System
Having explored the majority of yoga systems out there, we found each to have their own merits and limitations. As such, we sought to take the best from each school and create a freestyle system that empowers the practitioner/teacher to be able to create their own practice based on understanding.
Our system works with all layers of the being: asana/vinyasa for the physical body, pranayama and bandha for the energetic layer and meditation for the mind and emotions. Ultimately seeking to go beyond all layers and experience the deepest, truest aspect of our being.
The true purpose of yoga is largely missed today. Yoga originally was a tool for self realisation, based on the notion that our true self is pure consciousness, some essence that simply inhabits a physical vessel. Yoga connects us to that deepest aspect which resides in a state of pure peace, infinite joy and bliss.
Qualification
Gain an accredited 200 hour certification, qualifying you to teach worldwide. The YTT has a limited intake, assuring a small group and therefore plenty of teacher attention.
Our approach to teaching
There is a lot to absorb in a YTT, hence we are mindful to observe modern modes of teaching with a pedagogic approach. Information will be put across in bite sized portions, in a clear, understandable way, so you can absorb as much as possible.
More than a teacher training
A YTT is a life changing experience. 4 weeks of daily practice creates shifts in all layers of our being… nourishing body, mind, emotions, energy and soul. Leave with a new lease on life and shifted perspectives, infused with peace and joy.
