I did not expect the course to be so thorough and in so much detail. It is fairly complex and one tends to think that distance learning is easy – you really need to give it time and put a lot of effort into it. Adding Anatomy & Physiology course in with Yoga Teaching made it so much more understandable and approachable for me – as we’re learning one, we can always brush up on the other – they are integral and should be taught as such. 

A Diploma Course in Yoga Teaching

What is the aim of the Yoga Teacher Training course?

This exciting Yoga Teaching course has been designed for students of Yoga who wish to formalise their knowledge. The course takes you on a fascinating journey that will prepare you for your role as tutor and guide. It aims to remove much of the mystique and thereby open yoga up to wider participation. On this diploma course you will also investigate the use of chakras, different meditation techniques, the use of pranayama and how to set up and run a class. You will also learn about positive thinking, nutrition, fasting, the healing breath and a small section on yoga for children.

This course is designed to teach the student of Yoga how to pass the benefits on to others - it does not set out to teach yoga postures to those with no experience.
We require students on this course to have been studying the asanas for at least 2 years and to have reached at least intermediate level. It is also compulsory to continue to attend a local yoga class while studying.

As with all our diplomas we strongly recommend the students attend at least one tutorial at the Centre for assessment and support.

The Course comprises 12 modules and covers:-

* Background: Outline of the background and philosophy of yoga.
