2 year course: ‘The science of Life’, March 2024 – December 2025

Yoga as Life Management

About the Course

Many things in life we learn by trial and error. Not everything is handed down to us in our upbringing and education. On the contrary. In order to participate in our community, to keep our environment and family ties in balance and to stand up for ourselves in this individualistic society, we learn manners and defence mechanisms that are actually not natural. We survive, but we lose who we are inside and run into the same difficulties again and again.

The life philosophy of Yoga contains all the knowledge and guidelines you wish you would have learned from your childhood. They are the stepping stones that lead you to happiness, health and success. It reconnects us to ourselves.

In this two-year course, you will have classes once a month. This way, you have the opportunity to practise at home, in your own rhythm, and integrate everything you learn into your life. You will personally be guided in a step-by-step growth process. The course is an accredited 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course, which allows you to start as a yoga instructor.
