Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga in Daily Life
Commencing: Sydney, May 2008
Study Commitment: 2 years part time study Course Overview The Teacher Training program is a two year professional course conducted by the Australian Association of Yoga in Daily Life (AAYIDL). The Association has been conducting yoga teacher training in Australia for more than 15 years. AAYIDL’s training programs are accredited with the International Fellowship of Yoga in Daily Life which establishes the International standards for all teachers of the YIDL system. The training program is also recognised by the Yoga Teachers Association of Australia. The course provides the opportunity to develop teaching skills and personal yoga practice according to the Yoga in Daily Life tradition and classic yoga philosophy. There are two core strands of study that run through the program:1. Yoga Philosophy, Lifestyle and Meditation
2. Yoga Teaching Skills (including Asana, Pranayama, Relaxation & Meditation) Throughout the course, these strands balance each other ensuring a solid foundation in theory, personal application and teaching practice. Thus Yoga in Daily Life teachers are not simply teachers of Asana, but are also able to offer support and inspiration to people wishing to pursue an interest in yoga lifestyle, philosophy and spirituality. Tuition and guidance are offered to course participants by a range of dedicated facilitators and teacher mentors. Our facilitators are amongst the most experienced Yoga in Daily Life teachers in Australia and are inspired to share their understanding, teaching experience and specialised training with all.
