Welcome to Yogayama’s Yoga Teacher Training!
Yogayama offers a well-rounded yoga education program where students have the opportunity to pursue in-depth studies of yoga whether you wish to become teacher or take your personal practice to a deeper level. Upon graduation, those of you who continue to teach yoga also have the possibility to apply for international certification through the Yoga Alliance.
Yoga is growing rapidly in Sweden and our understanding of how yoga can help us feel healthier has also increased, whether it is on a soul level or in the physical body; whether it is recovering from burnout or healing sports injuries.
As a result of yoga’s current popularity, there is a strong need for well-educated yoga teachers. With a focus on Hatha Yoga, Yogayama aims to offer the best and most thorough yoga teacher education in Scandinavia through its unique training program taught by experienced teachers.
We look forward to meeting you!
During nine intensive days, we lay the foundations for the entire training. You establish a daily practice consisting of chanting, pranayama, asana and meditation and begin your studies in some of the main subjects of the education. During the introduction, we mainly focus on anatomy (adapted specifically for yoga teachers), the history and philosophy of the yoga tradition, practice and technique, as well as an introduction to pedagogy for yoga teachers and what it might be like to start teaching yoga.
Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the text that forms part of the foundation from which many of today’s forms of yoga are inspired, was written in the 15th century and describes how, among other things, movements (asana), breathing exercises (pranayama) and purification techniques (kriyas) can “purify ” both body and mind. During the weekend we will become more familiar with these techniques. We develop the instruction and go through both common injuries and how to adapt training for beginners. We also delve further into both anatomy and injury prevention. We develop the technical skills in the asana practice, discuss the yoga teacher’s pedagogical tools and go through how to build up a yoga class in a constructive way.
The origins of today’s yoga classes can be traced back thousands of years. Texts such as the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika contain material that has inspired thousands of practitioners over the centuries. By studying these texts, yoga practice becomes a broader tool that includes everything from physical training to spiritual development. During the weekend, we focus mainly on the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita and discuss how these works are relevant and useful for today’s practitioners.
According to yoga’s sister philosophy, Ayurveda, all beings have a unique composition of character traits and qualities, “doshas”. By adapting diet and our way of life according to body type, we can achieve optimal balance for the individual according to this health system. During the weekend we meet Yogayama’s Ayurvedic doctor, you learn the basics of Ayurveda and what distinguishes the different body types. We also take a closer look at other aspects of the relationship between diet and yoga. For example, what does “yogic diet” include and what are the benefits of making our food choices more conscious?
How do I integrate yoga into my life in a natural way? Is it just training or are there other aspects to consider? How do I bring the feeling from Savasana to work or home to the family? We meet some of the Swedish leading experts, who tells us how yoga has affected their lives and discuss the role of a yoga teacher and the responsibilities (and benefits) that come with the task. The weekend begins with you writing your theoretical exam.
During one weekend, we summarize what we have learned during the training in written, oral and practical tests.
