Findhorn Bay, Scotland, UK
April 25 - May 24 | 2009 |
• Intensive 4 week course
• Certified by the worldwide Yoga Alliance for the 200 and the 500 hours standard
for Registered Yoga Schools (RYS) |

The four-week
intensive course covers practical, theoretical and philosophical
aspects of yoga.
Participants receive a thorough exposure to the essence and
teachings of yoga. The Teachers’ Training Course is
based on the ancient gurukula teaching system, which integrates
the yogic disciplines into the student’s daily life.
By the end of the course the student will possess a firm foundation
for teaching others, in addition to strengthening his or her
own yoga practice through self-discipline and awareness of
the nature of body, mind and spirit. Upon graduation students
receive an internationally recognised teaching certificate
from the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres.
You will have an opportunity to study with some of our most
accomplished and inspiring senior teachers, long-time disciples
of Swami Vishnu-devananda who have had many years of experience
teaching yoga in all its aspects. The gurukula system of teaching
allows daily contact with the teachers in an atmosphere of
mutual trust, learning and growth. There
will also be special programmes with international guest speakers
during the course.
