‘After many years of intense asana practice, I was disillusioned and left yearning for more. Michael (course director) is guiding me through the deeper aspects that yoga has to offer. Highly qualified, he has the under-standing of the psyche that is crucial to teaching yoga, as it was traditionally meant to be taught.’ - Taryn P

self-paced training

Study At Your Own Pace

If completing the course within 12 months is not practical for you then our self-paced training approach might work.

In essence, you simply need to successfully complete all the course elements (listed on page 6) and then you can apply to graduate. You will be provided with a course checklist (sample below) and when you complete a module or component, you get the form signed. This gives you maximum flexibility so your yoga studies can conveniently fit into your life.

You can either pay the course fees upfront, by the monthly installment plan or pay for each module individually.

“Teach what is inside you, not as it applies to you, but as it applies to the other.”T Krishnamacharya

Each student will be assigned a mentor. Typically the mentor is a senior teacher who is a Level 2 member of Yoga Australia. Each student will meet regularly with their mentor (ideally monthly) who will guide them in their personal practice for the duration of their training and also provide them with general support and direction in their studies.

WHAT WILL YOU GET FROM MENTORING?

Professional yoga mentoring is designed to provide yoga teachers and trainee teachers with ongoing guidance in their personal and professional yoga journey. While it is always customised to meet the specific needs of each teacher, the key areas explored include:

• Personal Yoga Practice: Development and review of an appropriate home yoga practice • Continuing Education Guidance: Supporting the ongoing education of the student. This might involve further discussion into an various aspect of yoga e.g.: pranayama techniques, review of an assigment or practice plan. It is based on the needs of the student• Practicum Guidance: Support through out the practicum component of the course to maximise the learning opportunity

mentoring

What Style of Yoga? There are many different styles of Yoga available today. Many styles

(including Iyengar Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa and Power Vinyasa Yoga)

come from teachings that originated from one of the greatest Yoga

masters of the modern era, T Krishnamacharya. Considered an

outstanding teacher of yoga and healer, his conviction was that yoga

practice should always be adapted to suit the individuality and par-

ticular situation of each practitioner. The breath and various breathing

yoga techniques (pranayama) are also central to his teaching. Today

his approach is sometimes referred to as “viniyoga”.

The Yoga Institute Teacher Training Course has been developed by

senior yoga teacher, yoga therapist and counselling psychologist

Michael de Manincor (Course Director) from years of study in India

with Krishnamacharya’s son, TKV Desikachar, who offers the most

authentic continuation of these teachings available in the world today.

“In daily life we see people around who are happier than we are, people who are less happy. Some may be doing praiseworthy things and others causing problems. Whatever may be our usual attitude toward such people and their actions, if we can be pleased with others who are happier than ourselves, compassionate toward those who are unhappy, joyful with those doing praiseworthy things, and remain undisturbed by the errors of others, our minds will be very tranquil.” Yoga Sutra 1.33, Translation by TKV Desikachar
