The practice and study of Yoga proivides wide ranging benefits in terms of physical well-being, mental and emotional clarity and ease and psycho-spiritual self-development. Through years of practice and the living of Yogic principles, students often become inspired to share or pass on some of these learnings to others.
For dedicated Yoga practitioners who feel the calling to teach others and in so doing also further their own Yogic development, The Australian Institute of Yoga, in conjunction with the CAE, offers Australia's premier training program in Yoga teaching - the Advanced Diploma of Yoga Teaching .
Unlike the teaching of most other arts and sciences, Yoga teachers embark on a profound journey of discovery, wherein they raise their own study and application of Yogic principles and practices to a new level, bringing forward their 'inner light' and sharing it with others to help guide their steps upon their own path of discovery.
In the past there was little in the way of structured training for Yoga teachers and often a person would simply start teaching without training, based on many years of their own practice. While a person's personal practice is an important part of the mix, the Yoga community has become far more professional and thorough in the training of teachers and proper training is essential in order to teach.
Yoga teaching can be a beautiful, noble and rewarding vocation, whether it be simply a part-time pursuit of a full time occupation.
