Welcome to our 200-hour vinyasa yoga teacher training!
For those who are ready to explore yoga beyond the poses, this 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training is more than just learning how to teach. It is a space for personal exploration and growth, where you develop the skills to guide others with clarity and purpose.
Built on the foundation of yoga's traditions and wisdom, this training is a journey inward, helping you understand yourself and integrate what you learn both on and off the mat.
Guided by a team of experienced teachers, you will gain clear, hands-on tools to teach with joy and purpose. We focus on helping you develop a style that feels natural to you, and share your love for yoga in a way that feels personal and authentic.
This training goes beyond the physical practice. It is a personal development experience, helping you make choices that feel right for you and show up as the best version of yourself.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR TEACHER TRAINING?
In our Yoga Alliance certified teacher training, Yogaschool Noord and I offer you the elements of yoga: asana, meditation, pranayama, mantra, anatomy, chakras, philosophy, history, Ayurveda, and developing yoga classes. But we will offer you a lot more. Our programme is primarily aimed to provide you with tools to further develop yourself as a human being.
Our training offers you in depth insights in yourself and life. We also dedicate time to dance, tantra, self-inquiry, breathwork, ceremonies and to teach trauma-informed. You will receive a wide and deep insight to base your future journey as a yoga teacher, and foremost, as a lifelong student
Personal development
Our yoga training focuses on personal growth and development. Through this journey, you will gain a deeper understanding of who you are, where your strength lies and what makes you unique as both an individual and a teacher. What sets you apart? How can you show up authentically, even in ways that may feel unfamiliar? We will explore how to be open and real as a teacher, sharing your message from the heart and creating a real connection with others.
This training equips you with all the tools and knowledge you need to teach with clarity and purpose. And if teaching is not your goal, this personal growth experience will help you trust in yourself and share your passions, wisdom, and authentic self with others in any setting.
Say hello to a deeper connection with your yoga practice, a clearer sense of direction, and practical tools to support your personal growth. Whether you wish to teach yoga or to enrich your life, this training will help you feel more certain and clear about your next steps.
