Slow yoga is a meditative approach to yoga developed by Janne Kontala. Using asana, movement and breath in a deliberately slow fashion, it leads the practitioner to experiencing inner silence. This slow yoga training offers a possibility for personal growth both as a teacher and as a practitioner. Welcoming diversity, Slow yoga is open to practitioners of all yoga styles. You will learn to develop your own practice in a meditative way and also will receive the skills to teach and share your knowledge with others!
Although the program certainly is designed to help you share what you learn, the most important aspect of the training is your own inner transformation. Asanas can be directly used as tools for meditation, not only as an exercise for physical fitness. You will learn to regulate the breath as a method to promote inner peace, as well as learn some of the most effective yogic meditation techniques for inner transformation. As a teacher, you will be able to use what you have learned to teach a broad variety of classes based on the students needs.
The online platform offers you a possibility to study at your own pace. The extensive material bank will be at your disposal both during and after the course. In this way, you will have all the time you need to get acquainted with and internalize all components of the training. In addition, there will be several weekly online sessions, allowing you to get to know your teachers and fellow students, and get real-time guidance.
The examinations take place online. After completion of the course, you are eligible for a Slow yoga teacher certificate. In addition, the program entitles the practitioners for RYT 200 certification by Bhaktivedanta college Hatha Yoga teacher training program, provided you complete program within the timeline set forth by Yoga Alliance.1
