Professional

Even though the Yoga Study and Practice teachings and techniques developed in the Foundation Course can enhance any Yoga Teachers professional skills there is no requirement to teach or to intend to teach Yoga. This is not the role of the course.

In fact not everybody wants to or actually needs to become a Yoga teacher to further their practice and study. Here the priorities are towards personal development and thus questions relating to our personal practice and study are the priorities. The Foundation Course reflects this viewpoint.

The aim is that we are all here in this course as students and it offers an opportunity for all teachers to step back from their teaching role and re-enhance their personal study and practice path.

In addition it is a pre-requisite for those interested in training to teach Yoga, or develop existing teaching skills. In fact the content in this and the Introductory Course are also invaluable and essential training for the Yoga teacher and the 200 pages of material in the IW and FC manuals interweave into and add to the 800 page teacher training manual.

Thus the Foundation Course also forms an essential part of the preliminary prerequisites necessary before moving on towards further professional Yoga teacher training offered through the Yoga teacher and Yoga therapy Practitioner Training Programme.
