The Ayurveda & Yoga Teacher Training is one of the best trainings I have done. The knowledge and passion of the two instructors shone through in everything they did. They are both an inspiration on what we can achieve in our health, well-being and personal life on this amazing journey of Ayurveda and yoga. I cannot thank Vivian, Marjorie and Byron Yoga Centre enough.
Marjorie and Viv are amazing teachers, so full of knowledge with the ability to impart the learning. Their passion for yoga and Ayurveda really translated in their teaching styles. They were both very open and willing to answer all questions. Two beautiful people to spend a week with!
This 50 hour training can be counted as your CPD (Continuous Professional Development) as required by Yoga Alliance (YACEP) and Yoga Australia.
You will receive a certificate of completion and this can be counted as 50 hours towards Byron Yoga Centre’s 300-hour Teacher Training Program.
Byron Yoga Centre’s 50 and 25 hour Specialty Trainings are designed to be stand alone courses as well as being applicable to part of your 200 or 300 certificates.
They fit particularly well as part of a Level 2 300 hour course. To be counted as part of a Level 2, the modular course must be undertaken after the residential intensive not before. These modular course hours can also be used for the ongoing professional development required each year by Yoga Alliance and other professional bodies.
Or you could just do one because you want to learn more about yoga and yourself.
The path to becoming a certified yoga teacher can be life-changing, and choosing the right yoga course is a big decision. One decision you will need to make is whether to complete your yoga teacher training course in person or opt for the online route.
