Yoga Teacher Training 2019

‘The Art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.’ – Mark Van Doren

At Earth Yoga Studio, Yoga Teacher Training is not just about learning how to teach yoga.  It is an all-encompassing approach to learn about yoga as a lifestyle, and more than anything, it is a way to learn about who you really are!

We had an amazing group of students in 2018.  Just as they learnt from us, so have we learnt from them! And we have no doubt that the 2019 students are going to be just as fantastic!

Following our focus of caring for our environment, manuals will now be emailed rather than printed.  YTT students will be required to read and prepare material before each class to allow for deeper exploration into various topics. During lectures we will address key concepts and discuss how the material applies to our lives, not just as yoga teachers, but also as individuals.

The students’ individual needs will be discussed to consider fears and weaknesses, working in ways to get to the root of emotional blockages and limiting self-beliefs. Within a safe environment and through the reflection of fellow YTT students, each student has the opportunity to find their own path to start living as their true selves .

By reducing the printed material, not only are we looking after our environment, but we are able to lower the cost of the 2019 Yoga Teacher Training!
