Monday 24th February, 2020
Saturday 29th February, 2020
This course is comprised of 500 hours of training which is a combination of course contact hours and home study. The Hatha Yoga Practitioner Certificate forms the first year of the 'Advanced Diploma of Yoga'. 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 health and wellbeing together with a commitment to personal growth, they should have a sincere interest in working towards their own yoga practice and spiritual development and a willingness to journey into the deeper realms of spirit and the mysteries of life.
The Yoga Studies Hatha Yoga Practitioners Certificate 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 and life.
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 chosen 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, Ayurveda and the ancient traditions of Tantra, together with the esoteric and philosophical teachings of Patanjali's system of the eight limbs of yoga are also studied and integrated throughout all practices. Trainees will gain knowledge in all of the theoretical and practical aspects of yogic discipline.
