You&#8217;ve been to a few classes but crave more insight to other parts of yoga that there never seems to be time for in class? Roots of yoga is the perfect platform to begin your yogic adventure and inspire you to dive deeper, beyond the mat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be feeling hungry to start your teacher training but not convinced you know enough, not sure about the big commitment? Unsure of which teacher training to take, or what brand or style to train in? For most, it\u2019s a life changing decision so it\u2019s not surprising it can feel a little scary. We hear you, and have created this amazing online course that guides you through a practical process. It helps you understand how your yoga practice works and fills in the gaps you require in order to progress to where you want to be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>F<em>or you, if you&#8230;.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Struggle to find that one book or course that will teach you all there is to know about yoga<\/li><li>Enjoy practicing yoga but a part of you is hungry for more<\/li><li>Want to emphasise your unique experience of yoga<\/li><li>Hear weird words sometimes in yoga classes but aren\u2019t sure what the teacher is talking about<\/li><li>Question if yoga philosophy is relevant to you today<\/li><li>Feel that asana classes only take you so far<\/li><li>Curious about practicing at home, but don\u2019t know where to start.<\/li><li>Want to feel confident adapting postures and sequences to suit your own needs<\/li><li>Interested in designing your own self practice and creating your own sequences<\/li><li>Want to inquire further how your yoga practice makes you feel<\/li><li>Want to know more about the breathing practices and meditation<\/li><li>Need guidance on evolving your yoga practice on and off the mat<\/li><li>Are thinking about teacher training but are unsure if it\u2019s for you<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In these current times of growing uncertainty, more and more of us are experiencing a longing for more, a clearer sense of purpose and direction. You may be craving change, but unsure what this might look like. What you do know is that you love practicing yoga and it provides a deep sense of connection, and you want to try and understand this more. There are so many yoga books out there, but reading about something and actually feeling and experiencing it are two different things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of our previous students have shared with us about not knowing where to start and sometimes finding the thought of a yoga teacher training intimidating. Perhaps social media images of yoga have put you off, or make you feel inadequate? Yoga should be doing the opposite! Yoga should leave you feeling confident and competent! It can help you awaken the best version of you, that is able to look at things in multiple ways, that is able to make choices based on your individual needs, and embraces you for who you are. Yoga should inspire you to want to keep learning more and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is designed to help you make change through choice. Change always starts with you. If you look after yourself, you are more able to look after the world. If you change your relationship to yourself, the world around you magically begins to change!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>This transformative 6-week course includes:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>24 hours of online tuition and practice sessions<\/li><li>Downloadable PDF worksheets to help understand your practice<\/li><li>4 x group coaching sessions<\/li><li>Recommended reading list \u2013 books we love!<\/li><li>Introduction to the key yoga texts<\/li><li>1:1 mentor session (optional) to discuss if Teacher Training is for you<\/li><li>Accredited certificate once successfully completed<\/li><li>30 hours of study hours towards our teacher training upon enrolment<\/li><li>1 year access to all recorded videos and classes<\/li><li>Invitation to be part of our supportive and fun Facebook group for all CSY movers and changers!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><em>6 Modules to be completed over 6 weeks<\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This in-depth certified course will comprise of six modules.
