Take the next step with your practice

Byron Yoga Centre
Teacher Training Course – Otford 27 February – 11 October 2009

Experience makes the difference
Teaching yoga consists of more than simply the skills required to perform asanas correctly or knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Ultimately, the path to teaching yoga with awareness and understanding involves deepening your own practice.

Byron Yoga Centre’s 7 month Teacher Training Course in Otford is a combined Level One and Two course fully accredited with Yoga Alliance and YTAA. It is designed to deliver holistic training that encompasses the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the yogic path.

Training Location – Govinda Valley, Otford (1 hour south of Sydney)

Accommodation
All accommodation included. The style is clean and simple, similar to yoga ashrams in India, usually two to a room. There are some simple guidelines to help create a Satvic environment, conducive to study and learning.

Trainees in residence are expected to be cigarette, drug and alcohol free and are asked to maintain silence (where practical) in the mornings before 9am and after 9.30pm. Generally to be mindful that the centre is a place of study and learning, that socialising can be done at the local café or beach. We also ask trainees in residence to be vegetarian on site.
