This course is approved by The Yoga Alliance. The course curriculum meets and extensively exceeds the minimum standards set by the Yoga Alliance.
Teacher Training Courses with The Yoga Academy are designed for those who wish to embark upon the rewarding and challenging journey of teaching others, while it is also open to all serious students of yoga who wish to significantly deepen their knowledge and understanding of this ancient tradition and its deeply relevant offerings for everybody, today. All students are required to participate in all aspects of the course, including all ‘teacher’ orientated activities.
Not specific to any one contemporary school or style of yoga, the intention of this course is to offer a broad and thorough foundation for the teaching of Classical and Hatha Yoga, from which teachings the majority of yoga practiced today is sourced, while integrating functional anatomy and physiology. Significantly deepening your well of knowledge and experience in yoga theory and practice, you will develop your ability to understand your students and your role toward them, communicating these teachings in a clear, safe, and confident manner.
It is Simon’s (Yoga Academy Principal) belief that a teacher reaches his or her full potential by developing a teaching style that is a reflection and a manifestation of the teacher’s heartfelt and authentic experience. After establishing a solid foundation of knowledge, this course will endeavour to help students unravel, understand and evolve their own uniquely personal teaching style. Simply becoming a mouthpiece for all you have learned is an option, but not one to be considered on this course. As yoga teachers we need to be a guide, an inspiration and a catalyst for our students personal development and integration.
