What's Not Included

Who is This Training For?

Perfect for students of yoga, whether they are wishing to step into the wonderful and rewarding world of teaching, or simply deepen and evolve their own practice. We normally ask that students have at least one year of practical yoga experience of around 3-5 hours per week before joining. However, if you have attended an immersion course/retreat, or have less experience and feel that you are ready, then we are happy to discuss each individual case.

What Our Students Say...

“A month of truly inspirational teaching, wisdom, insight and shared knowledge as well as laughter, joy, tears, release… It is hard to articulate what I received on this beautiful training for it is so much more than words can convey. My heart is full of gratitude and I am ready to share it with others… May the light that I received ignite the light within all those whose path crosses with mine…” – Tanya Marie Green

Yoga Teaching Program

Each morning, you will start the day with three hours of practice consisting of asana, pranayama, and meditation, followed by a healthy breakfast. You will then move into lectures on a variety of topics ranging from philosophy to anatomy and sequencing. In the afternoons you will go deeper into the methodology of the techniques and practice how to teach and better understand them. 

Syllabus

An exploration of the classical traditions and their core philosophies, including Hatha, Tantra, and Vinyasa yoga. Learn about where the roots of yoga first took hold and how it has branched into where it is now.

The anatomy of movement and study of the key body systems. You will explore how the body works, and apply this important knowledge in safe and effective practice and teaching.

Daily study and practice of postures and their alignment, adjustments, energetic and health benefits, modifications, and effective teaching cues.

Ancient yogis described and revered the anatomy and potency of the energy body, which lays beyond the physical form. There are many layers to understanding and experiencing prana, this vital life force, and how it moves through the Chakras or energetic centers. These teachings are at the very core of what makes yoga such a potent and timeless practice.

The breath is the connection to life and the foundation of all classical Hatha yoga practice. The breath has a profound influence on the nervous system and a deep effect on life quality, both on and off the yoga mat. Many practices will be offered from basic breath awareness to “advanced” pranayama.

You will learn how to use the toolkit offered in the yoga system to create meaningful sequences. A good class is not just anatomically sound but also meaningful on more subtle levels.

Understanding your own mind and its makeup is an important part of being a guide in any practice. The power of meditation is significant. You will study and practice a variety of techniques that are aimed at the development of your own personal meditation practice and being able to hold space while teaching.

A fascinating and practical science of life from ancient India, which offers tools to better understand yourself and others therapeutically through the context of the doshas, gunas, and prana.

The necessary skills to confidently lead a yoga class is an important part of taking a teacher training course. There will be plenty of practice teaching: one on one, in small groups, and in front of the whole class coupled with the art and science of teaching and presenting.

Yoga has become a bustling market for teachers and students alike, and there are a number of ways to you can stand out from the crowd and jump-start your teaching career. Path of Yoga will show you how.
