Byron Yoga Centre – they ticked all the boxes for me but doing it in Oz wasn’t an option!…. but several months after they first came to my attention, when i had found another course that i was going to do, i saw them advertise that they were running one in Auckland. Thank you Universe!
i’m doing the part-time option, and have only done the first weekend, but definitely felt from the first moment that it was the right one for me, and the weekend of training absolutely confirmed it )

Hey Michelle,

Great to hear – which course did you end up doing?

“At some stage, as you practice daily, and read yoga books, and go to classes and workshops, you’ll find your own way to the teacher training that resonates with you and it will inspire you and open you up and turbo charge your practice…”
YES! this is exactly what happened to me – after 20 years of irregular practise, the last 18 months has been a time of yoga really “calling” to me, leading me to establish a daily practise and then, at exactly the right time, exactly the right course came to my attention.

Hey Zoe,

I don’t know of any courses in Christchurch. Queenstown, Wellington and Auckland… yes.

I haven’t taken any of these particular courses though, so can’t offer any insight into them… however, there are several interviews with people about these courses on the website, just look under the navigation heading of Teaching Yoga, Teacher Training at the top of the page, under the heading.

Good luck,
KL

Hi,
I live in Christchurch. Once I’ve established a routine of daily Yoga at home I’d like to do a course to become a yoga teacher. Are there any teaching courses here in Christchurch that you’d recommend? I’d like to do a course in 2012. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Zoe

Hey Roger,

Which begs the question – is yoga a career, or is it a calling?

Blessings,

Oh yes, it’s common for people to enquire about ‘becoming a teacher’- like it’s a rational career option- when they’re really at the stage of ‘what the fuck is yoga, anyhow?’

Hey Kl,
Thanks for that =] .. I’ll get onto that asap! I don’t quite know what the yoga sutras are. I think I’ve heard of them though.. Should be interesting!
Thanks for the help

Hey Tash,

Good on you! Next… I’d suggest reading some of the yoga books. There’s a good list of recommended reading on the Yoga Lunchbox’s Facebook page… scroll down and you’ll find it on the Wall. If you’re really keen, maybe even consider diving into the Yoga Sutras…

Blessings,
KL
