My Yoga Journey Teacher Training teaches the skills required to become effective, confident and inspirational teachers of yoga. Students are encouraged to develop their own style of yoga and focus on their intentions for their future - where and who they will be teaching.
As well as teaching the practical skills and knowledge that will enable students to teach yoga in a variety of environments and set up their own classes, students will refine their own practice and explore other aspects of yoga; including mindfulness, pranayama and meditation.
We believe that teaching practice is the best way to gain confidence and develop the skills that will lead towards a successful and fulfilling career as a yoga teacher.
Our aims
- To teach, develop and encourage students to become professional yoga teachers
- To provide practical knowledge and experience of the physical aspects of yoga to ensure students are equipped to teach, manage and promote yoga to the wider population in a safe and effective manner
- To introduce students to the history, philosophy and different styles of yoga to encourage further development and knowledge in these areas.
This course focuses on the practical skills and knowledge that are required to teach yoga in a variety of environments and set up classes. It encourages students to develop and refine their own practice and explore other aspects of yoga including mindfulness, pranayama and meditation.
There is a strong emphasis on anatomy and alignment in asana and how yoga can be adapted to individual limitations and aspirations. Students are also given the opportunity to study and submit their final assignment on a topic of their own choice agreed with the Course Director. Students from all disciplines are encouraged to develop their potential and individual interests, respecting the diversity and different paths of yoga.
