Yoga Teacher Training Course 2012-2013
Registered by the International Yoga Federation and the European Yoga Alliance
Every year there is more and more demand for yoga teachers alongside an ever-increasing interest in learning yoga.
In this third yoga teacher training course of Yoga from Within you will study a contemporary yoga,
suitable for our present-day consciousness. The new course will start in January 2012 and take place over 13 weekends.
The teacher training course will enable you to teach yoga in a responsible and beneficial way, expanding the
traditional understanding of hatha-yoga poses by training your way of thinking and and developing more sensitivity in your feelings. You will learn to teach in one- to-one
sessions as well as in larger groups. You will become familiar with good corrections for the poses and be able
to prepare your classes clearly in relation to your own teaching aims. You will be able to teach
the physical exercises, and at the same time convey valuable ideas which nourish the inner life of your students and bring a beauty of
expression into their poses.
The training is open to all yoga practitioners who want to teach yoga and/or study the deeper aspects of yoga.
It is inspired by the integral approach to yoga of Heinz Grill, Rudolf Steiner and Sri Aurobindo.

The course certifies you with the European Yoga Alliance and the International Yoga Federation as a registered yoga teacher
(200 hours of study) and both meets and exceeds the basic number of contact hours.
Introductory Workshop Saturday November 26th 2011.

Content of the yoga teacher training course
You will learn basic and advanced asanas, how to teach and correct them, as well as how to prepare your
yoga classes in a methodical way. The emphasis will be on understanding the consciousness as well as the body
and on learning how the consciousness can be transformed through different aspects of yoga practice.
During the yoga teacher training course the work will gradually help to develop more clarity in your thinking,
more sensitivity in your feelings and a stronger sense of yourself.
You will become familiar with classical yoga philosophy and some of the fundamental yoga-texts like the
Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Vedas and Patanjali’s Sutras. You will learn the general importance of
spiritual texts and how they to read them in a particular way.
You will learn how yoga helps with relaxation and managing stress, with strengthening the spine,
how wholefood nutrition supports a way of life with yoga. You will understand more about training and transforming
the soul-forces of the thinking, the feeling and the will in the consciousness and about how yoga is a form
of artistic expression. You will learn concentration and meditation exercises and deepen your understanding
of the seven chakras and the subtle energy system. Two of the weekends will be devoted to anatomy and physiology,
so that you will have a clear understanding of the main organs in the body and the nervous system,
the cardio-vascular system, the digestive system and the muscular system.
You will be able to teach yoga to children and adolescents, and to pregnant women after the course,
as there will be specialist training in these different kinds of yoga classes.
In a very practical way you will learn about setting up your own yoga classes,
marketing and establishing yourself as a yoga teacher, within the law and with safe practice.
There will be plenty of opportunity during the course for trial teaching of individual poses,
as well as a short and a full-length yoga class.
It is important to make sure that you have time during the year for study, reading,
asana practice and researching other forms of yoga. You will be expected to be really active in your participation
in the course as well asto attend classes regularly in this approach to yoga!
