For many, yoga begins as a practice on the mat.
But what if it’s so much more than just physical poses? What if there’s a deeper "why" and "how"? The history, the philosophy, the breathing techniques. So much of yoga exists off the mat! The great news is, you don’t need to be “advanced” to start exploring it.
Yoga is more than just a physical practice. It helps you feel good in your body, think clearly, and stay calm when life gets challenging. If you're looking to deepen your practice, this 10-hour pre-teacher training of Yogaschool Noord and Selma van der Graaf offers a chance to explore yoga in a way that leaves you feeling energised and at peace every day. Whether you're curious about what lies beyond the mat or thinking about becoming a teacher one day, this training is the perfect first step.
The Pre-Teacher Training is for anyone who
- Wants to explore the history, philosophy, meditation, asana, and pranayama that make yoga so much more than a physical workout.
- Loves yoga and wants to deepen their connection, whether or not they plan to teach.
- Feels curious about yoga teacher training and wants to see if it’s the right fit.
What you will learn in this training
- A brief history of yoga
- What yoga truly means
- The philosophy of the 8 limbs of yoga by Patanjali
- The families of asanas: the foundational yoga poses
- Meditation and meditation techniques
- Pranayama and the power of the breath
Who is this training for?
This training is for anyone curious about yoga. Are you looking to take your yoga knowledge to the next level? Or perhaps you're a regular yogi thinking about yoga teacher training? Then this training is perfect for you! Although our focus is on the Vinyasa style, the skills you'll gain are applicable to many different styles of yoga.
With this training, you take an important first step in your personal transformation. You’ll not only gain a deeper understanding of what yoga truly means but also discover how to bring this wisdom into your daily life.
After the training, you’ll go home with a new sense of calm and clarity. You’ll feel more connected to yourself and your practice, equipped with tools to breathe more consciously, relax, and meditate. You’ll also gain more insight into your body and learn how to practice poses safely and effectively.
In short, you’ll finish the training with greater confidence in your yoga, a fresh perspective on your personal growth, and the inspiration to deepen your practice. Whether that’s for yourself or maybe one day as a teacher. This transformation happens not just on the mat but ripples through all areas of your life.
