Personal 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.

What People Are Saying
“I spent an amazing month doing my TTC at Blue Indigo. It’s a very special place, welcoming and peaceful, with wonderful, talented teachers. I had a fantastic experience and learned so much more than what I’d expected. Whether you come for one session or for one month (or more!) I can highly recommend it.“
“Intense, professional, mind blowing and lovely. It has been a very nice physical, psychological and spiritual experience!
The teachers are great, kind, profesional and knowleageable. The place is peaceful, the food is great. Would recommend it for sure. I feel light and new, I sharpenned myself is the good way.”
“I really appreciate my experience, knowledge and skills I gained throughout this TTC. Michaela and Shiva are very knowledgeable in the subjects taught and I feel like I was easily able to expand my practice with their help. They are encouraging and positive. I would definitely recommend it to others. I would like to give something to improve on, however I think their work is really 100%. My biggest struggle was the long hours, but this is a part of the process.”
