Common questions:

​

I want to do the course, but I don't think I want to teach, should I still do it?

A: Yes! There are 3 main aspects of the training:

Education - INTEGRATION - Teaching Methodology

You will learn through lectures, readings, discussions, presentations etc. history, philosophy, anatomy, physiology, meditation, pranayama, mantra, mudra, subtle body anatomy. But the INTEGRATION is the bulk of the training, where you'll practice practice practice to embody techniques of what you're learning. You will learn how to teach others, which even if you don't plan on teaching, will only deepen your understanding of the practice. Even if you don't plan to teach a 'yoga class', you might (will!) find you can incorporate these teachings into all that you do

​

I don't have 2 years experience, can I still do the training?

A: Yes, I just want there to be a genuine interest and understanding of yoga. I'm not interested in you doing the splits, I'm interested in you being curious about the teachings of yoga.

​

Can I stay nearby for the training weekends?

A: Yes! There are plenty of options for accommodations in Grantown on Spey, I can help with that.

​

Will I learn to teach Yin Yoga? I love yin!

A: No, this is not a yin or restorative teacher training. You will practice those types, along with other styles, but it is a Hatha Vinyasa Yoga Training. You will learn a foundational Hatha Vinyasa sequence that can and will be adapted for different intensities, levels, populations, and different focuses (mobility, relaxation, strength, workplace, etc).

​

Can I teach at my workplace after this training?

A: Yes, you will be a certified yoga teacher after this training, once insured, you'll be able to teach anywhere you like.
