Yoga Teacher Training
YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
I have been involved with Yoga Teacher Training Courses since 2003 with my primary role being teaching the history and philosophy of Yoga, though I have at times contributed in other ways.
I currently teach on Intelligent Yoga Teacher Training and in the past I have taught for the London Yoga Teacher Training Group, Still Flowing Yoga Teacher Training in Devon and The Vinyasa Teacher Training in Paris which no longer run.
Typical Syllabus
For Yoga Teacher Training Courses the syllabus for the module I teach on the history and philosophy of yoga could include all or some of :
- Overview of Yoga History, Culture and Development to the Modern Day
- Introduction to Indian Philosophy and it's relationship to Yoga
- Theory and Practice of Meditation
- The Upanishads
- Buddhism
- The Bhagavad Gita
- Patanjali's Yoga Sutras
- Tantra and Hatha Yoga
- Modern Yoga
All of these would be a fairly comprehensive introduction , though as with anything it would be possible to focus on any one of these for a long time. They can be covered in shorter forms or longer forms depending on the needs of the course and students.
If you are interested in having me teach this on your Yoga Teacher Training or for a day or half day workshop please get in touch by email or call/text/WhatsApp +44 7915 650106.
