200 hour Pine Rivers Yoga Teacher Training and Yoga Immersion Program

Study at the “retreat style” setting of the Pine Rivers Yoga studio, nestled in tranquil bushland in Cashmere, QLD. Feel at peace with your surrounds and immerse yourself into the ancient art of Yoga whilst gaining your teaching qualification.

Your principal supervising trainer is Ruth Campbell, a Registered Senior Teacher and trainer with Yoga Australia. Ruth is supported by highly experienced Trainers for specific subject areas and also 2 of our own graduates, Heidi Richards and Nicola Smith.

Heidi is currently completing a 2 year Yoga Therapy training, is a qualified meditation teacher, a qualified Restorative Yoga teacher and has been running our Yoga for Beginners programs for a number of years.  

Nicola has done a Physiotherapy training and is our in-house Anatomy expert. She has a deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology and the philosophy of yoga.  

Join us for a journey of exploration into the 8 limbs of yoga. Enjoy the process of this ancient philosophy grounded in modern day life. Find connection with your fellow students in learning how Yoga is a tool for living well. 

This course evolves through the physical practice of yoga to the moral and ethical standards that the ancient yogis used to keep themselves “on-track”.

You do not have to be ‘great’ at physical yoga to benefit from this training. We learn the techniques of effective breathing (pranayama) and study the fascinating material of the Yoga Sutras, the Energy Systems of the Body, Anatomy and Physiology, the benefits of Meditation, and the Methodolgy and Techniques needed to pass this information effectively on to others.

In addition to the mandatory contact hours, students need to complete assignments, study yoga for the ageing population and become familiar with using yoga as a therapeutic practice.. A log book of all personal study hours should be maintained.

Current First Aid Certification is also a requirement before completion of the course.

The Subject Material for this training includes:
>    History and Traditions of Yoga, including Ethics and Lifestyle
>    Philosophy including Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga and the Yoga Sutras
>    Principles of practice
>    Yogic Physiology including the Yogic Energy System of the Body
>    Yoga Anatomy and its relationship to Energy, Alignment and Bodily Systems
>    Pranayama (Breathing Practices)
>    Yoga techniques incl: Asana, Bandha, Mudras, Mantra, Relaxation & Meditation
>    Yoga Asana and its related Teaching Methodology and Skills, including the use of Sanskrit
 

Practical Teaching Application is an important part of this training, however, it is not necessarily the only reason students of yoga wish to take on some more in depth study of this vast subject. If you do not want to teach yoga but do want to increase your knowledge and understanding, this course offers plenty of insights into yoga and the study of the “Self.”   

A minimum of 1 year of weekly yoga practice is recommended before considering a Yoga Teacher Training.
