HATHA YOGA
PRACTITIONER CERTIFICATE


1 Year Part Time 500 hours
 
 
This course is comprised of 500 hours which is a combination of course contact time and home study. There are no formal requirements for this course, however, it is desirable that applicants show a high level of maturity and have a genuine interest in deepening their knowledge and experience of yoga. Applicants should also have an interest in total health and wellbeing together with a commitment to personal growth, they should have a sincere interest in working towards their own spiritual development and a willingness to journey into the deeper mysteries of life.


About the Course
The Yoga Studies Hatha Yoga Practitioners course has been designed to allow practitioners of Yoga to receive quality education and training without the need to undertake extensive studies leading to a Yoga Teaching qualification. At VIYETT we understand that not all people seeking education and training in the field of Yoga want to teach Yoga as a profession. Often the need for further studies and training comes about when a student reaches a certain level of maturity in their practice and thus begins a journey to uncover the deeper meaning of Yoga.
 
 
When the student reaches this level of maturity in their practice they often need guidance and training to assist them in broadening and developing their understanding of Yoga and to help them move forward on their life path.
 
 
Yoga is a science of life and a path of personal development. Through the study of yoga one is able to gain deeper insight into life itself and equip oneself with the necessary skills to achieve lifetime goals. The Yoga Studies Course presents yoga as a complete system drawing on the classical teachings and traditions of Hatha Yoga and the ancient traditions of Tantras esoteric and philosophical teachings Patanjali's eight limbs of yoga are also studied and integrated throughout all practices. Participants will gain knowledge in all of the theoretical and practical aspects of Yogic discipline.

Aim of the Course
Over recent years yoga has become recognized as a mainstream modality of health and wellbeing. Due to this increased interest and demand for suitably qualified professionals The Victorian Institute of Yoga Education and Teacher Training (VIYETT) has developed the Advanced Diploma of Yoga Teaching to train and develop individuals to meet this demand.


The aim of the course is to develop competent and highly skilled Teachers of Yoga who are equipped to guide students safely and effectively through all disciplines relating to the practice of yoga. The course is designed to guide trainees through the basic foundations of a classical yoga system to the more advanced practices and philosophies ultimately leading to Yoga teaching principles and practices that will equip the trainee with the necessary skills to instruct others in the practice of yoga with a high degree of confidence and sensitivity.
 
 
The VIYETT Advanced Diploma of Yoga Teaching is designed in such a way that you will gain all the necessary skills to plan and conduct yoga classes and deliver these classes in a number of different settings to a diverse range of people seeking the benefits of yoga.
 
 
On completion of the course graduates will have attained a high level of competency in all aspects of yoga teaching and philosophy based on in depth experience and understanding of the meaning and processes that constitute the practice of yoga.
 
 
The teachings are deeply embedded in the classical systems of Yoga with emphasis on the major paths, the philosophical and scientific methods and the different styles of Yoga. These teachings are integrated into a contemporary style of Yoga yet maintaining all of the classical elements of the Yoga tradition.
