Being allowed to teach yoga is a fulfilling and responsible task. A yoga teacher has a solid yoga practice of their own and precise knowledge of the teaching methodology and pedagogy needed.
Not only theoretical or intellectual knowledge is required to be practiced in order to pass yoga on, but rather one needs to apply and implement what has been learned in everyday life to keep on walking the yogic path.
Through your personal practice, a lot of life-vital energy (prana) is generated, which gives you the necessary radiance to inspire your own students and people in your life, but also inspires yourself to keep on with your own self-discovery and the spiritual life-changing journey you are about to embark in.
Converting what you have learned on your mat within your daily life means that you have both feet on the ground and you stay committed to the responsibility of keeping on walking your own yoga path while keeping on teaching and inspiring your students by example.
Yoga develops the whole personality, and while being on this journey, one can soon notice this increasing feeling of health and joy in life, success in your duties, and fulfillment in relationships and family. With regular practice, contact with oneself and their environment grows.
You can explore and learn your hidden talents and potential and can gradually expand them. Yoga leads to higher levels of awareness and development of contact with one's true self and experience of life in its fullness and wholeness. This training will give you the opportunity to make great personal changes, discover, and explore your full potential.
