QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

What if I just want to learn a bit more about yoga, but don’t want to necessarily qualify as a teacher?

This course has been designed in such a way that even those who simply want to immerse themselves in the ancient wisdoms and philosophies of yoga can do so without the pressure of exams and assessments.  If you just want to understand yoga on a deeper level, modules 1 &/or 2 are perfect for you.

 

I am new to yoga – is this a problem?

Not at all.  Anyone can do Modules 1 & 2, and beginners will get a lot from the training. However, to qualify as an ISHTA Yoga Teacher, you need to be fully committed to the training, and even after you have completed you exams and practicals, you may only certify once you (and your facilitators) are confident in your fluent understanding of the terminology, physical, philosophical and other integral aspects.

Do I need to do ALL the Summer or Winter Module together?

Not at all. Students could do (for example) Module 1 in Summer, and Modules 2 and/or 3 in Winter – you receive credits for all modules done, but they do need to be done in order (over any period of time).

What is ISHTA Yoga?

ISHTA is a school of yoga that was formed in South Africa several decades ago by Kavi Yogiraj Mani Finger.  The system is a lineaged school of yoga, drawing from direct teachers of ancient sources. ISHTA yoga hold a proud direct line of teaches going back thousands of years. The name is special on many levels, but it also stands for Integral Hatha, Tantra & Ayurveda (or Integral Hatha & the Tantric Arts).

 

Who would I be certified with as an ISHTA Yoga teacher?

Your certificate is signed by ISHTA Teacher-Trainer, Ryan Edmonds (Sevak Hari Singh), endorsed by YTF Chairlady, Marina Contardo, and you are registered through the International Yoga Fellowship (IYF).

 

How many hours?

This is a 200HR yoga teacher certification module – that is 200 contact hours (in-class time), and 50 signed-off classes.

There will be a later option to do an additional 300HRS Advanced Teachers Certification

 

50 signed-off classes?  Where do I do these?

Anyone doing the first two modules, or the full TTC, will qualify for complimentary studio access at LIFE RETREAT STUDIO for the duration of their module/s.  Classes may be done during this time. If students wish to do classes at other studios, that is their prerogative.

 

What if I miss a lecture/weekend?

The 200hours are critical for the completion of the course. Should you wish to certify, these hours must be made up in private sessions with the lecturer/s – at a nominal fee.

Does one need to belong to any particular spiritual/religious path to become a yoga teacher?

Not at all. Yoga means Union.  No matter what your personal beliefs, yoga will enrich these… and open your mind and heart to exploring other paths – even if only for the duration of the course. 

Will students be required to do homework?

Students are encouraged to implement the tools and teachings into daily life. Certain creative assignments, readings, and journalistic reflections will be called for. This will be especially relevant for those pursuing the full TTC.

 

What benefits will this course have?

That depends on your intentions… whatever you need, this course can be a catalyst to deliver that.  Spiritual growth. Healing. Learning. Self-awareness & personal confidence. A new career.  Going deeper into a positive relationship with your body. Learning the ancient wisdom, and breathing fresh new life into a lineage of thousands of years.
