Commonly asked questions
I don't want to be a Yoga teacher, is this course suitable for me?
There is absolutely no focus on the teaching of Yoga to others on this course. It is a personal development course that will introduce you to all the different aspects of Yoga stated in the syllabus.
I want to be a Yoga teacher, is this course suitable for me?
It is ideal if you are considering teacher training and an invaluable preparation for what lies ahead. You would develop your personal practice and all round knowledge of Yoga, so you will be sure of what your stepping into when it comes to teacher training. The course includes guidance and support for choosing and moving onto teacher training too.
Will the physical Yoga be advanced? What level do I need to be?
We ask for people to have around 2 years or more experience of attending Yoga. This is not because the physical postures on the course are difficult, it is because we need to be sure you have a genuine interest and commitment to Yoga, for you to get the most from the course. The postures covered are basic ones such as downdog, triangle pose and so on, but we look at the fine details in each of them in a workshop style. In a regular 6 hour day, there is will be approx 90 minutes physical practice, the remainder will be the other subjects covered.
I have an injury at the moment is it suitable?
If you were unable to do the physical practice on any given day you would still benefit a huge amount from the rest of the course. Plus the physical class is always as a workshop would be, so there are plenty of notes and observations you could take down for your personal use later.
I can't make all the dates, will that be a problem?
As long as you can attend 80% of the course there is no problem at all. Regardless of if it is the 1st or final session. 80% would mean attending 8 out of the 10 sessions in total.
I am worried about the cost, can I pay in instalments?
We ask for an initial deposit of £260 after that you can pay in instalments in whatever way is convenient to you. The remainder should be paid by 13th July.
Is there a lot of homework and assessments?
There is just small amount of reading homework and a home practice diary, which could take 10-15 minutes each week. There is no formal assessment.
