WHAT STYLE OF YOGA IS TAUGHT ON YOUR RYT-200 COURSE ?
The Yoga we teach on our Yoga Teacher Training courses is an authentic 'Vini' flow - which connects Hatha Yoga postures in short flowing Vinyasa sequences. The Yoga taught draws from the Sri T Krishnamacharya lineage - a therapeutic and holistic approach to teaching the goal of which is to create healing and wellbeing in mind, body and breath. This builds a strong and authentic foundation for your teaching and practice, ensuring what you teach is safe and effective and from a legitimate source. We teach you how to deepen your own practice and give you the skills and knowledge to be able to teach all levels of Yoga with confidence and understanding.
WILL I BE ABLE TO TEACH VINYASA YOGA?
Yes, vinyasa ('flow') yoga joins traditional hatha yoga postures (Adho Mukha Shvanasana/ Downward Facing Dog, Virabhadrasana/ Warrior etc) together in a series of flowing sequences. We teach you how to correctly teach each individual posture and then move on to sequencing these in a series of flowing sequences, which can be modified to suit all students and combined to create full vinyasa classes.

I HAVE BEEN INJURED, CAN I JOIN THE COURSE?
Yes, at Santosha we passionately believe Yoga is for all bodies! You do not need to have a super flexible or injury free body to join us on the course - or to be a yoga teacher. We offer modifications or alternates for all postures when needed, as all teachers should be able to do. We find that teachers who with injuries or limited flexibility /mobility often have an increased awareness of student's limitations and keeping them safe. So instead of thinking of your injuries as a hindrance to teaching and participating in the course, realise that they can be an asset to your awareness and understanding as a teacher.
I FEEL TO SCARED TO TEACH! CAN I STILL JOIN YOU?
Yes, of course! Rest assured many of our students come into the course feeling fear around teaching, public speaking or just doing something new. We completely understand, which is why we take such care to create a supportive and accepting space like no other you will have ever experienced. We work with you where you are at, to help you gain the confidence and skills to be ready - and eager - to share what you have learned if that is your goal. It is perfectly normal to feel nerves around stepping into something new and unknown and we work to help you overcome the most common blockages standing in your way of being the shining and confident teacher you have always wished to become, in a way that best suits YOUR individual nature and strengths.
HOW LONG DOES THE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING TAKE?
For those who wish to study full-time you can complete the Level 1 RYT-200 online yoga teacher training part of the training in 14 days of in-depth study. For those that wish to self-pace due to family, work and other commitments take as long as you need to complete the yoga course to suit your situation. The in-person training runs over 14 amazing days!
