THE TRAINING
This training program provides a precious opportunity to study yoga in the tradition of T. Krishnamacharya. A tradition where the approach to healing is holistic, treating the mind, body and spirit as a whole, and each person as an individual; where yoga is uncompromisingly adapted to the student, and not just the student to yoga.
The student-teacher relationship was always at the heart of his teaching, in this course it lays the foundations for learning. Each student has a mentor, who provides support and advice throughout the training. The course equips students with the tools to teach group classes and general individual sessions. It is appropriate to those wishing to become yoga teachers, and to those who teach already but wish to change or perfect their methods. It also applies to those simply seeking to deepen their knowledge of yoga for their own personal practice and evolution.
On successful completion of the course, a certificate is issued by the KHYF, valid for five years, and the student may register as a yoga teacher affiliated to the Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation. The student's name will be listed on the official KHYF website, and he/she will be allowed to use the KHYF logo.
