What can you expect to take home from the Course

  • A thorough understanding of the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system
  • The true value of teaching lies on the sharing of the practice with others, through experiential learning and continuous discovery.  Your teaching cannot be effective without the assimilated digest of the imperative information given in the great system.  The course will unfold your potential to infuse the fundamental teaching through the process of individual exploration and observation.  
  • You will be given guidances and comprehensive resources to learn how to teach, to cultivate compassion for your students and fellow practitioners, and most importantly, the environment to commence the real work of teaching
  • To develop new spaces for ourselves over the pre-existing perceptions and conditions which hinder growth and changes.  Understanding what is “present”, you will be prepared to evaluate, discover and reflect, then new roles come along – the stewardship and captain of your vessel of Yoga
  • To create a safe and non-judgemental environment to teach and develop the community in your surroundings through skilful physical and verbal adjustments, extensive observations and of course, the consistent and persevere attitude to practice and share.

The true Spirit of what you say you are doing – ‘Yoga’ – you become the messenger of Yoga for the benefits of self and others with humility and passion.  Namaste
