London Yoga Teacher Training Group (LYTTG)
Introductory Course 2015
London Yoga Teacher Training Group invites applications for their 2015 introductory course from serious yoga students wishing to develop their personal practice and explore yoga in more depth. The aim of the course is to provide a thorough grounding in the approach to yoga inspired by Vanda Scaravelli and Mary Stewart. Their teaching emphasises the relationship between gravity, breath and the spine. This approach to practice and teaching has produced a diverse community of highly individual yoga teachers, two of whom will be present at all sessions.
The course will consist of eight full day sessions taking place between January and April 2015 (see below for dates). The course will be lead by Sarah Linsey and Bridget Thornborrow and will encourage students to develop an intelligent and sensitive individual yoga practice. There will be an in-depth and exploratory approach to asana, with a solid foundation in breathing practices and pranayama. The course will include an introduction to functional anatomy by Peter Blackaby in a series of practical sessions and Neville Cregan will provide an introduction to yoga philosophy. Visiting yoga teachers Giovanni Felicioni and Christiane Kerr will bring their individual teaching styles to intensive asana classes and meditation practice. For further information about any of these teachers use the Teacher Search (hypertext link) facility. The course will encourage students and teachers to work together in a collaborative and discursive way, with an open exchange of ideas and approaches to practice.
The course will prepare students for the London Yoga Teacher Training Course, should they wish to pursue their yoga studies, and will provide an introduction to key tutors on the course. The LYTTC is devised and led by Chloe Fremantle and Anne-Marie Zulkahari. Course directors on the 2015 – 2017 training will be Anne-Marie Zulkahari, Lisa McRory and Cara Bowen. This two-year teacher training will commence in the Autumn of 2015 and is fully accredited by the BWY.
Taster workshops with Sarah Linsey and Bridget Thornborrow will be held on the following dates:
