The Neo Yoga Teacher Training provides students with a unique opportunity to deepen their personal yoga practice while developing their teaching abilities. As a teacher compassion and love for your students and for yourself is essential. Neo Yoga's unique curriculum teaches students to cultivate their inner creativity and passion, while developing a sensitivity and mindfulness for the practice of Yoga. |
| During Neo Yoga's one-month yoga teacher-training course we will explore different aspects of Yoga. Though the emphasis will be given to yogasanas and Hatha Yoga practice, we also will touch on the main Sutra's of Patanjali, Ashtanga Yoga, Gheranya Samhitha, and Vedanta. During the Practice of Asana, we will learn how to activate the different energy centers [Chakras], connecting all five sheathes [Five bodies] in order to create symphony among them. Unless we connect all the five bodies, five Prana, five organs of action, five senses and mind, we cannot understand the meaning of yoga. Mr. B.K.S Iyengar has given a wide range of knowledge about the Asanas. We use his knowledge in our trainings. Meditation is the seventh step of Ashtanga Yoga, thus we have everyday meditation practice based on Tantra Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Vedanta and from Osho. | |

Teaching brings your inner creativity to the next level, develops sensitivity, makes you alert and watchful while conducting the class.
