Teacher Training

6th Teacher's Training program

Learn Yoga and Ayurveda
The 6th Teachers Training Course starts from May, 2012!

Be your own doctor

This is the aim(goal) of Nirmal Yoga's teacher training course.

Everyone has a different purpose in practicing yoga. If you ask 10 people, you will have ten different answers. Even though they may say it in different terms, it can be said  that there is only one thought behind them all, "I want to be happy"

It is essential to be healthy in order to be happy. To take action, to be rich, stand in your belief, or to have a peaceful mind... All of this can only be possible when you have a healthy body and mind. So, in our teacher's training course, you will learn how to keep your body and mind healthy 

The key word is the five elements, the basis of Ayurveda (*1).  Five elements make up our body and mind.  The knowledge of five elements is vital to keep a healthy body and mind. In the teachers training course, which last for 2 years, you will study in depth about the five elements by the changing process of your own body and mind. 

Through these studies, students will be able to assess the status of their body and mind, like finding out which element is not enough to you, and to know how to improve it.  In this way, you can always be your own doctor even after you finish the teacher's  training course. You will gain strength to stand up in your own feet, without leaning on anything. 

You do not need yoga experience, or any qualification to apply. Everyone, anyone who wants to be healthy, live a happy life, study yoga deeply, to become a yoga teacher, are welcome. (*2)

(*1) In Nirmal Yoga, we define yoga as "Science which first helps us to understand and then control body and mind" which is a part of Ayurveda, the learning system of life philosophy.  That is why it is in studying Nirmal yoga it is important to know the Ayurvedic philosophy. 

(*2) If you have any health problems please let us know in advance.
