Contemporary-creative-playful-profound
We believe that yoga is highly personal and that it is from the own experience that a yogi can become a guide to other people. Would you like to dive into your yoga practice? Better understanding of the energetics of yoga? Explore how to apply yoga philosophy to your daily life? Dive into a transformational process? Understand your nervous system and how yoga is of great support to regulate it? How to teach yoga in an uplifting, down to earth, dynamic, and authentic way?
This life changing journey will deepen your connection with yourself and nurture your love and passion for yoga and self-development. In this 200H Vinyasa Teacher Training you get the opportunity to become a confident, exceptional, qualified yoga teacher. We will share many tools (for details keep on reading), but most of all a space where you can develop your very own personal way of becoming a teacher.
You will walk away with a toolkit full of skills. Equally, if teaching is not in your plans, we will support you in living your yoga and gain deep understanding of the physical practice as well as the deeper layers of yoga.
Asana & Alignment
You will learn to understand your own body through yoga asana and read the bodies around you. Understanding and working with alignment, its benefits and contraindications will take your practice to the next level. We will use this foundation to teach you how each body is unique and has different needs.
The skills that will be yours
Embody the Flow
Ever experienced those yoga classes where everything seems to fall into place? Big chance you experienced ’Flow’. As a teacher you can guide your students into a flow. A specific combination of movement, breath, pacing, and transitions will build this. In this training you will learn the foundations of how to create ‘Flow’.
The mechanics of breathing and Pranayama
You will learn how the breath works and how you can make the breath work for you;) Six pranayama’s are waiting for you to be experienced and learned in depth. And you will be guided into teaching them.
teaching Methodology
Unique to this training is that you will be guided into the art of teaching. Through a step by step method you will build the confidence to teach in a clear way. You will gain a deep knowledge of how the body works , and why we move in a certain way. from that place you will be able to create cues and work with different levels.
Art of Vinyasa Yoga
In this course, we will teach you the arc of a yoga class and how to break poses down into groups that have similar movements that complement one another. This allows you to put poses with similar functionality together easily to ensure safety and creativity based on understanding the method of Vinyasa Krama (steps by step progression)
Philosophy
One of our core values is the integration of the philosophy of yoga into daily life. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is the foundational text of yoga. We will read it through the lens of modern living. And you will discover how this ancient book is still very much up to date. You can expect to learn about the history and evolution of yoga in which a lot of wisdom is to be found.
Insight into The Energetic Body
Everything is energy! And so the energetic body plays an extensive role in our training. There will be lots of time for you to ‘experience’ energy. But to fully understand it you will learn about the yoga energy systems. We will explore the chakra’s and the Kosha system. Both of them can support you to travel even more deeply into yourself. And will make it possible for you to work with energy as a (yoga) teacher in your classes as well as in your personal life.
Physiology
The big regulator of our body is our nervous system. In these times of overload it’s often out of balance. A great way to bring this balance back … is yoga! How yoga influences our nervous system directly is one of the things you will discover. And learn to use in your life and teaching.
Applied Anatomy
You will learn anatomy from a yogi! Through our on-line anatomy course you will have to possibility to study with the world known yoga anatomy teacher David Keil who will teach you anatomy directly linked to the yoga practice. You will understand the principles of anatomy and body mechanics, the key muscles, bones, joints and connective structures and alignment principles that foster both understanding and safe application of asana practice.
The Art of Relaxation
Since yoga is all about creating balance, there will be attention for the art of relaxation as well. We will explore the difference between yin and restorative. And make you feel comfortable with teaching restorative poses. As an extra addition, we also offer yoga nidra practices during the training.
Practical
Our Training is divided up into 11 weekends and spans over the course of 8 months, allowing students time to both process and put into practice information from the prior weekends. There will be assigned reading and assignments throughout the training.
