Teacher Development Study Program
TEACHER TRAINING | February 2019 - May 2020
Teaching Yoga is an art that requires continuous self enquiry and an understanding of ones personal process. A teacher needs to be established in a regular and intelligent practice, one which constitutes an appropriate response to current conditions and which is good for the whole organism. This implies a thorough knowledge and understanding of the yogic language both in practice and theory and a commitment to the following principles:
•AHIMSA sensitivity and consideration, reducing anger, dread and violence toward ourselves and those around us.
•SATYA truthfulness and the ability to communicate mindfully and honestly.
•SVADHYAYA self-study motivated by the necessity to reflect on our personal process in the light of the yogictexts.
