A "residential"teachers training at our Centre from 2014
Sutra I.21
The
more intense the faith and the effort, the closer the goal
For
anyone considering training as a yoga teacher, the bottom line is – Will this
course give me a sound, thorough, and safe foundation to teach the skills I
wish to offer students? Sometimes
training programs offer popularity by association, but do not offer sound
training. You need to reflect honestly
about your own intension in pursuing your study and act accordingly. (“Teaching
yoga” Donna Farhi)
