Byron Yoga Centre
Teacher Training Course – Byron Bay 6 February – 20 September 2009

Experience makes the difference
Teaching yoga consists of more than simply the skills required to perform asanas correctly or knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Ultimately, the path to teaching yoga with awareness and understanding involves deepening your own practice.
