Who is this course suitable for?

Our Approach

This course provides 56 CPD (Continuing Professional Development) points for the whole course and 28 CPD for the 2nd term. Equally important, this course is dedicated to Continuing Yogic Development. Yes, you can add this course on your yoga teacher qualifications, but our priority is to help you BE YOGA. Our focus is on personal development. We’ll provide you with information, but our intention is for transformation. The aim of this gathering is to share yogic values and practices, along with the deep benefit of community/satsang with like-minded souls.

Mentoring

As yoga teachers, it is important to have physical, mental and spiritual support from an experienced mentor. Mentoring can help us adjust, re-orient and inspire our teaching and our personal awakening. Having a strong bond and deep faith in yoga and your mentor will decrease suffering and increase grace. Therefore, mentoring is a vital and valuable part of the Beyond Teacher Training course, and for those who purchase all 4 modules, you will also be provided with 4 personal mentoring sessions with either Ginny or Greg (one session per month).
