YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

Shantarasa School of Yoga offers among the very finest yoga teacher training programs available anywhere.  These fully accredited Level One and Level Two teacher Training courses are designed to develop and comprehensively prepare their participants impart a range of foundational yoga practices with a high degree of skill, knowledge and inspiration.

Much of what is taught as ‘yoga’ in the West today is incomplete and unbalanced in its approach, with undue emphasis directed only towards the achievement of physical fitness. Yoga is a total life enhancement system, developed over millennia, to address creating vital wellbeing in all facets of human experience.  Yoga methodologies can be applied to successfully address a widely diverse range of health concerns so prevalent in contemporary lifestyles.  Yoga practice was not developed to be segregated to the local yoga studio or gym, or for the elite, but to bring wellbeing and happiness to everyone.

The Shantarasa Teacher Training Courses are designed to expand of what is understood to be yoga in Western societies.  Course participants do receive in-depth personal mentoring in practice and instruction of ‘yogasana’ (poses) that incorporates training of Hatha Yoga and also other beneficial styles and methodologies.  This comprehensive approach creates personal strength and stamina, superb flexibility and acute mental focus and clarity.

 The Shantarasa Yoga Teacher Training method of instruction of anatomy and physiology is quite unique in that focus in directed to the implications of asana practice on the “sukshma sarira” or individual energetic matrix.  This facilitates the development and expantion of the vibrancy quotient that enables one to not only master physical wellbeing but creates an opening to the subtle, refined states of enhanced awareness that are the hallmarks of a potent yoga practice.

No real and sincere study of Yoga would be complete without a deep exploration of the roots and philosophical sources that underpin and serve as the very foundations of fruitful yoga practice. In the Shantarasa Yoga Teacher Training Courses the essential understandings and insights of the prominent and universally acknowledged streams of wisdom schools are met and explored in such a way as to be able to develop one’s own practice meaningfully.  In this sense, becoming a yoga teacher is more of a vocation than a ‘career path’; what is taught must first be lived and loved.

Shantarasa’s Yoga Teacher Training courses are conducted throughout Australia and currently also in India. These programs are the result of over decades of intensive study, practice and assimilation of the principles of yoga by Sadhana and Keval Pezet, whose dedicated pursuit of yoga began in the early 1970s.  Both have spent extensive periods of training with their teachers, in India and also in the West.  Desiring to disseminate the great gifts received through personal practice and the directly guided inspiration of their mentors, these Yoga Teacher Training courses have been created to accurately and faithfully convey the potent transformative experience of the living, vibrant yoga wisdom tradition.
