TRAINING

YOGA TEACHER YAT500 training is for 112 half days with a total of 500 hours of in-person studio or online zoom training. On successful completion you will receive a Yoga Awareness certification.

LEARN: Develop your professional skills as a Yoga Teacher with the authentic teachings of Raja Yoga by Patanjali as taught through the Krishnamacharya-Desikachar lineage. The training focuses on self development using:

1. KRIYA YOGA, which is the study of our action and the 'right attitude' of Yoga and Ayurveda. Kriya Yoga describes the five 'colorings of mind' (klesa / klesha) and patterns, habits (samskara) that we habitually repeat. Karma is the sum total of either useful or un-useful actions and we have the choice of acting from a colored mind or a clear mind.

2. ASHTANGA YOGA, the eight parts of Yoga in your yoga practice. This practical study develops your understanding and integration of social relationships (yama), the relationship with 'self' (niyama), having a healthy respect for your body (asana), your lifeforce (pranayama) and senses (pratyahara). As we master our external practice (sadhana) then we naturally experience the internal practice of meditation (dharana, dhyanam, samadhi).

3. SAMKHYA YOGA, which is the self inquiry "Who am I?" This profound question has been meditated on throughout the centuries by spiritual seekers, giving us insights of our 'true Self' (dharma) and our self purpose (svadharma) in this life.

CURRICULUM: Asana practice, Asana theory and demonstration, Patanjali Yoga Sutra study (KRIYA YOGA, ASHTANGA YOGA), Pranayama breath introduction, Chanting practice, Meditation theory and practice, Ayurveda theory, Yoga Teaching theory, Verbal Yoga teaching instruction, Asana sequence drawing, Student Yoga teaching practice, Anatomy and Physiology.
