teacher training
The Heart Yoga Teacher Training is primarily concerned with helping practitioners to become thoroughly and fruitfully established in their Yoga practice. The impetus to teach Yoga then flows naturally out of this orientation if it is right for the individual concerned. We do not believe that teachers can be produced like clones.
The educational model, so prevalent these days on planet Yoga, cannot be cogently
applied to the deepening of Yoga practice. Our approach to teacher training therefore
is organic and not conducted through the artificial straight-
If you find you want to teach, you will be assessed on your teaching practice. You will also be required to demonstrate a real involvement with your own practice by completing a project which creatively expresses it . This requirement is very free and can take any form. You will have ample opportunity to discuss this and work out what you want to do. You will also be asked to keep a practice journal
Other themes covered will include Teaching Methodology and how it relates to your practice, Heart Yoga anatomy [which is not like A and P!], The Anatomy of Escapism, Letting Go and Time, Isness: Meeting What Is, The Practicality of Ease, Clear Mind and Open Heart, The Phenomenology of Hatha Yoga. All themes are engaged with experientially, i.e. they are not academic and dry. At every turn, you will be invited to discover your amazing actuality!
On successfully completing the programme, you will be eligible to register as a teacher with the Yoga Register and take out the IYN teachers’ insurance.
Weekends are payable at the usual rate of £170 per weekend. Upcoming weekends: See the weekends page.
