YOGA TEACHER TRAINING 2012

200 HOUR HATHA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

Yoga Teacher Training is much more than attaining certification, it is the beginning of a new way of experiencing your world. This training in particular will take you on a personal journey of physical, emotional and spiritual unfolding.  Thus, preparing you to assist others on their journeys as you move from student to teacher.

5 aspects of this training set it apart from others:

1. a strong focus on self awareness as well as psychological and spiritual growth

2. learning how to teach and educate NOT instruct

3. receiving individual attention and assistance on your journey

4. the length of the course enables you to implement all you learn into daily life.

5. the course structure allows for experiential learning rather than bland theoretical study.

Catherine Rogers has an Honours degree in Psychology and is an ERYT 200 – RYT 200 with Yoga Alliance.
