Yoga and Ayurveda
This one year Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Course is an immersion into the philosophy of Yoga and Ayurveda.

Content of the Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Course in Bilthoven
The content of the teaching programme is a balance between practice and theory. In practice, you will learn all the main Asanas, Kriyas, Pranayama and meditation exercises.
Theory focuses on deepening the foundation of traditional Indian Yoga teachings. Topics covered include historical developments of Yoga, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and concepts from Samkhya philosophy.
A unique feature of the programme is that a lot of attention is given to Ayurveda, which is inextricably linked to Yoga. In this training, we focus precisely on letting you experience how Yoga and Ayurveda are a part of life. The components you learn will help you get better balanced through umong others: Sattvic Cooking, Ayurvedic Massages and cleansing techniques.
Learning theory and practising Asanas is meaningless if you don’t adapt your lifestyle accordingly. After each day of class, you will have time to apply everything you have learnt in your own life.
