PRACTICE & TEACHING
Sajeeva's Yoga Teacher Training course is comprehensive. You will learn multiple styles of yoga and techniques with George and the assisting teachers. The course is supported with an incredible manual which includes hundred of pose photos and details on asana alignment, technique, and adjustments, yoga sequences, breathing exercises, mantras in Sanskrit and English, yoga theory and philosophy, anatomy, and principles for teaching effectively and ethically. Anatomy is supported by projection of 3-d images and we'll also enjoy different video and music media throughout the course.
You will practice teaching from the first week of the course. First the individual elements and skills that make a yoga class, then whole classes. Each teaching element will have examples, objectives to aim towards, and also come synchronized with what you are practicing and learning about in techniques, anatomy, or philosophy. After teaching practice we make group dialogue on aligning the knowledge base, intention, delivery, and presence of your offering for the students benefit.
Progression theory teaches you how to give options throughout your classes so that everyone feels included and engaged. There will be workshops on using props, giving intelligent adjustments, teaching large groups or private lessons.
Yoga philosophy will inform you about how to teach ethically, respecting the journey of your students, while expanding your understanding of how to point people towards freedom.
Everything is about connections, so let's spread Yoga to more people. Get inspiring ideas to spread the knowledge, reach out to new students, expand your network, coordinate with yoga studios or venues that could benefit, and learn about creating workshops or bigger events.
Teaching yoga can provide more purpose to your life and others. With dedication to the practice and a service heart it can also become an amazing career of freedom, blessings, and love.

Patti Mitchley, New ZelandYoga & Dance TeacherI met George at Vikasa Yoga during my first TTC in 2013. I had a strong feeling that I had more to learn from him so decided to do my second TTC with Sajeeva last year. George is an incredibly warm and gracious teacher. He is super skiled at delivering yoga philosophy and values in a way that is accessible and relevant to now. He lives what he teaches, so you get a true sense he is the real deal and doing the work - daily. His physicality, strength and execution of asana is just beautiful.
He is a movement artist. |

Stan Weaver, 3rd planet from SunIT Project ManagerI met George at his yoga workshop. I had been a stressful person, busy with lots of computer work and not really having a healthy life style. George's vision and methods of yoga inspired me to get into daily physical discipline and meditation. I'm impressed with how quick the knowledge of yoga transformed everything in my life for much better.
George taught me my first headstand and now it is my meditation. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much Yoga practice experience do I need to join the course?
Having at least 1-2 years of sustained practice is ideal before taking a teacher training in a 1 month full immersion. First, being familiar with yogic terms and the basics of practice will make the course a much deeper experience. You will be able to focus more easily in practice, and use your familiarity of terms to make learning to teach more natural. Those who do not intend to teach Yoga or have less experience are also welcome to join the course with their genuine curiosity, interest, or devotion. By practicing Yoga, we are also sharing a way of life that shines through people just by the effects of practice on our relations, and this too is a kind of teaching.
Is the style of Sajeeva Yoga practice more "hard" or "soft"?
Both! All physical yoga practices are called Hatha Yoga...which means merging the opposites. To do so it will be useful to have an experience of the two ends of the spectrum. Some sessions will be yin, some yang. Most will be a balance of both. The world of experience is open to us! Different types of practice suit different needs, moods, and objectives... which as with all things...will change throughout your life.
How does Yoga Alliance registration work?
Yoga Alliance is a certifying organisation. They set standards for courses and different levels or types of experience for teachers. Sajeeva 200 hours teacher training is registered with Yoga Alliance for meeting it's standards for a 200 hour course(and exceeding them). After graduating Sajeeva Yoga teacher training, you will have the blessings of Sajeeva Yoga School to teach yoga, but if you want to use a Yoga Alliance "200 hours yoga teacher" mark you will need to register with a yearly fee, and answer some questions to verify that Sajeeva Yoga teacher training has fulfilled Yoga Alliance's standards. Some Yoga studios look for, or require this registration as a way of proving you have been adequately trained. Other places will just look for knowledgeable and professional teachers or hire through networks. YA also provides services and resources to registered teachers. You can find out more about it at their website.
