The Purpose of the Course

Throughout your yoga teacher training, you will be led through several 'asana practice' where you will get to fully dissect different postures - and how your body expresses them. In regular practice you will have much better understanding of what your body can do, and what adjustments you should make for yourself in a practice that will serve your body. With your newfound body awareness, you will be so much better able to move through your life without getting hurt. You will walk more mindfully, run more mindfully. You will become better able to predict the abilities of your body and thus will be able to stay strong and limber for life. In your yoga teacher training, you will be tested; your will, your ability to hold postures, your ability to focus, your ability to speak in front of people will all be strengthened and stretched. You will come out of the other side of your training feeling physically stronger, but also mentally and emotionally stronger too. There is nothing quite like going through the experience of a yoga teacher training - and those you meet in your training will forever hold a special place in your heart. You will understand each other in a very unique way at the end of your course, and there is a good chance that you will make friendships that last a lifetime.
