About the Course:

A Yoga Foundation Course in the tradition of T Krishnamacharya and TKV Desikachar lasting 6 weekends and a total of 72 hours. Completion of the course will lead to The Society of Yoga Practitioners (TSYP) Certificate in Yoga . The aim is to provide students with a solid foundation to this approach to yoga which is based on the concept of ‘Viniyoga’. This means presenting yoga techniques according to the needs of the individual, taking into account such factors such as age, sex, culture, interests, therapeutic needs, amongst other individual requirements.

There is an emphasis on learning how to create home practices which can be adapted to meet individual needs as circumstances change.

The course is appropriate for anyone interested in taking up teacher training, or for someone who wishes to have a more in depth idea about the tradition and how it is relevant to their life. There is a balance of theory and practice and an introduction to the yoga ideas of the Patanjali.
