Experienced students may find that the training offered on the course will stand them in good stead to begin teaching yoga classes. Less experienced students will gain a deeper insight allowing them the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and build the foundation towards the teaching of yoga. Shades of Yoga holds firm in the belief that it=92s only when we have developed a true understanding of the potent effects of the practice of yoga on the body, mind and spirit, that we can then effectively share these practices with others. Until we have cultivated an understanding of the inner self, we are not equipped to be a catalyst in the transformation of our students. Shades of Yoga offers a comprehensive practical training program in how to teach yoga. This course is suitable for experienced practitioners who would like to teach yoga in the future and also those who would simply like to deepen their yoga practice. Included in this course is a mixture of Hatha yoga where we incorporate styles such as Iyengar and Ashtanga. We will learn how to combine a variety of postures (asana) into a Vinyasa flow, with specific focus on principles of alignment.
