After the course, you can become a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) with Yoga Alliance International.

Self-development

Everyone is welcome to join this course , no matter your age or which yoga level you have! Although we will be preparing you to become a qualified yoga teacher, you might also pick this course for your own practice and self-growth. The teachers will make sure to focus on each of the student’s needs and progress.

Personalized study and examination

At Blue Indigo Yoga we think it is important that you not only participate in the classes, but we stimulate an active learning attitude. This is how you get the most out of your Yoga Teacher Training Course! And of course we are happy to help you study.

Project

At the start of the TTC we ask you to choose three asanas and a pranayama. Besides doing these asanas and pranayama every day during your personal practice to observe the changes and improvements on a physical, mental and spiritual level, you write a paper with all the information about the asanas: how to perform them, contraindications, physical and spiritual benefits, counter and follow-up poses, and so on.

Daily Journal

The Daily Journal is a summary of your learning, experience, practice and activities which you go through during the whole TTC. Every day you will send an email to your teachers containing a summary of your learning experience on the topics covered in each class, during your personal practice and meditation. If you have any questions, suggestions or difficulties you couldn’t express during the day, feel free to mention them in your Daily Journal as well. Your teachers will read and answer your emails every day.

Exam

There will be a practical and a written component. The written exam will cover highlights of yoga history and philosophy, anatomy and alignment, teaching techniques such as cueing and how to assist/adjust, sequencing, contraindications for certain injuries or conditions and appropriate modifications, and a mishmash of practical matters including the ethics of teaching. We will clearly inform you which topics to study.

In the practical component you will be asked to teach 10+ minutes (longer if it’s a smaller group), it will include one of your asanas chosen of your Project.
