The Spiritual Yoga School teacher training is conducted in English, so in order to attend, you must be proficient in the language. They also require of their students:
This course is highly demanding physically, spiritually, and mentally. You will be working very closely with other students, and it is expected that you will enhance one another's learning experiences, and encourage one another throughout the learning process.
Students who sign up learn under the most qualified instructors. They provide you the training you need to pass on practical yoga techniques to your students. Each 200-hour yoga teacher training course is headed by the qualified staff of trainers.
They recommend practicing yoga and working on your body strength regularly right up until you attend the course. It will help you get the most from your training and successfully complete the course. It will allow you to concentrate on the corrections, lectures, and in-depth adjustments your instructors will give you and not just on your asana practice or lack of stamina.
So you have ended up on a course and realize you either have incorrect alignment, are not as fit as you thought you were, or just have plain bad yoga habits! Don't worry. The instructors have seen it all before and will be keen to help you.
The worst thing you can do is fake it, hide it, pretend you are injured each time you are called to demonstrate. Be honest. It's okay. But if you cheat in a pose, the tutor cannot actually work with you and you will not be getting valuable knowledge that you can apply to yourself and to your future students.
A 200-hour intensive means many weeks in close proximity to other people of all backgrounds and personalities. If you haven't been in such a situation since college, it can be hard to adjust to.
Apart from the wonderful friends you are going to make and keep for life, there are challenges too which can bring up all sorts of hidden things in yourselves, emotionally and mentally. Allow the process to shine a light on your inner self. Intense full-time courses can be far more potent as self-development tools than long term part-correspondence courses for this very reason.
A teacher training course is not just a yoga intensive or a self-improvement holiday. It is specifically to train you to teach and is intense. It requires discipline, commitment, and self-awareness. You will, of course, develop and grow as a person and a practitioner.
The Sanctuary's vegetarian restaurant
The Sanctuary's vegetarian restaurant is well known for its delicious vegetarian cuisine and its restaurant offers a panoramic view of the bay with a bar set just behind. The sunsets at night are a spectacle and many guests gather at this time to watch and enjoy a few drinks in this relaxing haven.
Why veggie diet?
A vegetarian diet has been found to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, obesity, and more. Plant-based foods are generally easier to digest. Food that comes from animals, on the other hand, can create a sluggish immune system, drain your energy, and weigh you down overall.
Yogis want to feel good. They know yoga is one way to do that and a healthy, vegetarian diet is the other side of the equation. One of the many reasons people practice yoga is for what it does on a physical level.
Beyond toning the arms and tightening the body, yoga cleanses the internal organs, keeps the digestive system moving, improves blood flow, strengthens the immune system, and the list goes on. Having a vegetarian diet add to the many health benefits of a yoga practice.
