March 10th - 31st 2011

This is a residential 200-Hour Teacher Training Course officially recognized by the British Yoga Teachers Association and is fully accredited by the YOGA ALLIANCE

This course takes place at the Bedouin Moon Hotel in Dahab, South Sinai. It is a fast-track, residential course. Students should be prepared to work hard.

This Yoga Teacher Training is open to anyone who wishes to study yoga in depth, whether or not they want to become a teacher and regardless of previous experience. The main requirement is an open heart and a willingness to learn this ancient art. The course will tell you if you want to teach and most people who have done it go on to do so very successfully.

 

There will be extensive study of the asanas (postures), in the Sivananda tradition with two asana classes a day, one for your personal practice and one teaching you how to teach.

You will also have a great deal of teaching practice (under supervision) and by the end of the course you will have taught two full classes. The emphasis of the course is that you have an in depth knowledge of the asanas and how to teach them safely.

Most people find it life changing, due to the intensity of it, it is not just about learning yoga but deeply learning about yourself.

There is great emphasis on how to teach safely and a great amount of repetition so you fully understand the basics of teaching and to give you plenty of opportunity to ask as many questions as you need. You will also have a lot of opportunity to teach under supervision.

Dinner is available for a very low cost at the hotel restaurant.

The hotel is right on the sea, with its own coral reef, great for snorkelling and diving on your free days. You can also windsurf, hike and ride horses. Alcohol and Drugs are strictly forbidden.

If you smoke cigarettes it is requested you try to keep it to a minimum and do it away from the group.
