Windfire Yoga Teacher Training
Established in 1999 the residential WINDFIRE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING is a profound exploration of the Yoga Method taking place in Tuscany, Italy. It usually takes at least two years to complete, though in exceptional cases may be done in one year.
Our Teacher Training programmes is approved by the Yoga Register. Certification entitles you to Yoga Register Membership at the appropriate level (500, 1000, 1500 hours) which further endorses your competence to teach yoga. Accreditation of attendance is given upon completion of each training module. However, embodiment of the principles involved, rather than attendance only is required for Certificate and Diploma matriculation: which are entirely at Godfri's discretion, and may require further study.
WINDFIRE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING penetrates to the very heart of the hidden simplicity of yoga. It provides a relevant, applicable, essential and practical grounding in the dynamics of integrity underlying the yoga method. This is based on a clear understanding of the nature of body, action, mind, perception, cognition, volition, self, consciousness and their interrelationship. This understanding, and its pragmatic implications, can then serve as a safe and effective basis for teaching yoga in any style and tradition of integrity. The training is as much about how the body, mind and awareness function as it is about yoga.
We explore in depth over 300 postural techniques (asana, vinyasa, ullola, namaskar), seven bandhas, ten pranayama techniques and seven meditation techniques. They are explored in groups to clarify their shared principles and inherent inter-relationships. In this way the simplicity of the yoga method is revealed: while the intrinsic unity of body mind and spirit is clarified in its functional expression. Having discovered the organic keys to integrity, the mechanical, functional, structural, energetic and spiritual aspects of all yoga postures becomes transparent. This will empower you to extend your teaching skills and curriculum indefinitely.
In order to facilitate your teaching we present eight Dynamic Yoga Training Series that allow your students to realise their full potential while establishing their practifce and life within the healing dynamics of integrity. These eight series are infinitely variable and provide a basic template for developing a curriculum for teaching yoga dynamically, effectively and safely in any style of practice.
