International Sivananda Yoga Teachers' Training Course in Scotland, UK
 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.
