Our philosophy
InYoga's Teacher Training programs provide complete pathway of training with an integrated approach to yoga practice and philosophy, giving you the tools to make lasting changes in your life. We draw from the timeless teachings of Ayurveda, Tantra and Hatha Yoga, and blend this traditional information with Western science and a modern understanding of the human body and energy system.
Yoga has reached new heights of popularity in recent years, as many people are actively seeking ways to create and maintain optimal health and wellbeing that don't involve pills or prescriptions. - it's a well known fact that yoga is good for you!
The goal of yoga is simple: to create awareness in our bodies and in our minds that support a natural flow of energy and allow us to reach our fullest potential. We do this by:
- Nurturing the physical body (our vehicle) through healthy movement practice (yoga asana), balanced breathing (pranayama), nutrition and hydration;
- Creating a balanced flow of energy by regulating the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, bringing both the stress response and the relaxation response into harmony;
- Harmonising our mind and emotions through meditation, movement and an uplifting outlook on life;
- Creating better relationships with ourself, others and our natural environment through yogic knowledge.
Yoga is a complete system of wellbeing, and InYoga's Teacher Training programs will inspire you to take charge of your own physical, mental and emotional health through simple yet powerful practices. We acknowledge the traditional roots of yoga, and present the knowledge in an accessible and practical way, allowing you to embark upon your own journey of personal growth.
More than just a teacher training course, this process encourages you to be a living example of health and vitality, and from this solid foundation you will be inspired to share your experiences with others.
