YogAyur Life Teacher Training 250h Yoga Alliance

YOGAYUR LIFE TEACHER TRAINING 2023-24: MUCH MORE THAN A TEACHER TRAINING

Yoga is a discipline whose practice is not limited to hours spent perfecting asana and pranayama. Yoga is a way of life, an inner journey, a way of dealing with everyday life, social relationships and the relationship with oneself. 

Practising Yoga means to live it every day and in every moment, letting yourself be guided by the wisdom that the Masters have codified and transmitted to the present day. Yoga is the corollary that embraces and brings a deeper meaning to one's daily life.

A leap in the quality of life for every enthusiast of this marvellous discipline takes place when one takes Yoga out of the practice room and incorporates it into one's own life: this is why we have created YogAyur Life Teacher Training.

The course is recognized by Yoga Alliance, and qualifies for the RYT 250h certificate

 

COURSE PROGRAM:

The course will take place from October 2023 to June 2024 with one intensive weekend per month: Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 19:00.

To complete the number of hours, at least 8 hours of practice per month are required at YogAyur centres (also accessible online) as well as participation in an intensive 4-day retreat in April in Umbria, location and dates yet to be determined.

The training course includes an in-depth study of all the theoretical/practical aspects of yoga and meditation, which will be taught through the themed workshops, in-depth study of theory, as well as numerous hours of practice to perfect the technique.

The yoga style taught will be Hatha Yoga Flow, a traditional style complemented by a dynamic that makes it similar to Vinyasa. Classical positions (Asanas) as well as more dynamic sequences will be learned. Sun Salutation, Pranayama, Mantra, devotional Bhakti Yoga and Karma Yoga together with meditation and mindfulness techniques will be among the teachings that the participants will learn.

In order to better assist students on their journey, we have included a biweekly subscription to our Yoga Centre in Rome in the Piramide area, with the opportunity to benefit once a month from a counselling consultation to monitor and evaluate performance during the training.

The topics covered during the lessons will focus on:

  • Philosophy and history of Yoga: origin of Hatha yoga, the 8 limbs of yoga according to Patanjali, man, chakras and harmonisation

  • Asana: basic asana and Sanskrit nomenclature; rooting and balance; dynamic sequences of asanas; twists and inversions; variations, modifications and practical adjustments of asanas; potential risks that may arise during practice

  • Meditation techniques: Vipassana, mindfulness meditation, listening to silence, techniques of sense withdrawal, division of attention and concentration

  • Pranayama and Breathing: breath, mantra and devotional chanting; pranayama techniques

  • Diet and purification techniques

  • Sexuality: managing sexual energy, introduction to Tantra

  • Self-confidence, inversions and balance positions

  • Spirituality, channelling of Kundalini, freedom from one's limiting patterns

YogAyur Life Teacher Training is much more than a course for yoga teachers: it’s the authentic opportunity to rediscover your potential and begin living each day with awareness and new guidance.

At the end of the course, after having completed the hours of class practice and passed the exam, the Yoga Alliance RYT250 certificate will be awarded, valid for the conversion to CSEN diploma (body recognized by CONI) with the Yoga Gymnastics Instructor qualification.
