Berlin 2019 Yoga Teacher Training
Berlin 2019 Yoga Teacher Training

This 200hr YTT programme is meant for people who have benefited profoundly from yoga and feel a strong urge to take a deep dive into the practice and philosophy.

The teachings in this course are rooted in ancient origins of yoga and its evolution throughout the Centuries, it is also integrated with a modern approach based on intellectual honesty and scientific inquiry. Prepare for learning in a non-dogmatic environment that encourages you to investigate, think for yourself, and understand things at their essence.

Becoming a yoga teacher should not be the main goal although this course will definitely train you for it. The purpose is to give you the tools to follow the yoga path on your own in a meaningful and valuable way that can be shared with others if you're inclined to.

If you wish to become an established yoga teacher it is recommended that you join the mentoring programme after the course ends (you will get a discount). Completing a 200 hour training is the bare minimum required for teaching a yoga class, most people need further guidance as they start their teaching journey.

The course will take place in Bodhicharya (Friedrichshain) once a month for a full weekend (Saturday 9:30-17:30 & Sunday 14:30-20:30). Exact dates will be given on request.

There will be in total 9 full weekends of study and practice, 1 weekend of meditation and a weekend retreat outside of Berlin. You will have homework and tasks to complete between sessions, and will be expected to practice regularly on your own throughout the course.

Oren will be the main teacher of the course, there will also be guest teachers teaching other related topics. Feel free to contact the team anytime throughout the course for any question or concern.

At the end of the course, if you meet all the requirements, you will get a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certificate that will allow you to teach yoga if you choose to do so.

If you would like to take the course for deepening your own practice and knowledge, without the certification, you can join it for a reduced price. You will skip the parts which are specifically related to teaching methodology (about 20% of the course).

About the approach
to yoga and Oren

Hands-on yoga adjustment
Oren Anjali Mudra

The style of yoga taught in the course is - 'Breath-Centered Hatha-Vinyasa Yoga'.

Yoga is essentially a healing methodology. Every human can use some healing, whether on the level of the body or the mind. From the yoga perspective the mind and body are one and most of us hold layers of conditional patterns that are deeply ingrained and cause us discomfort, pain, or any other form of distress. These can be resolved so that we can enjoy our full potential to be a joyful, radiant, happy and peaceful.

Yoga practice should be holistic to be effective, it should access different aspects of experience and guide us through a self healing process, whether through Asana (yoga postures and movements), Pranayama (yogic breathing exercises), Meditation or through changing our perception, choices and attitude in our daily life.

The underlaying concept behind the teaching in this course is that every person is different and therefore there is no one-size-fits-all practice. In order for Yoga to have real positive benefits it should fit the individual's unique needs and goals and not the other way around.

We will learn yoga as a practical and functional method and avoid falling into form and aesthetic traps that usually lead to ineffective or even harmful results. There will be an emphasis on how to avoid causing injury or pain and maximize the many positive benefits that yoga has to offer. This is very useful for the practitioner and even more for the teacher.

Oren has been a dedicated yoga and Dhamma (Buddhist meditation) practitioner for over 15 years and a teacher for about 10. He lives and breathes yoga and tries to teach by self example first and foremost. He is also a passionate student of yoga and Buddhist philosophy and has a vast and rich experience and knowledge both as a practitioner as well as a teacher that he would love to share with you.

.

Oren comes from a family of educators and teachers, he is passionate about the art of teaching and is eager to share some of the skills and insights that he developed along the years of teaching many students. Being a good yoga teacher requires one to be a genuine yoga practitioner but also to acquire useful teaching skills that allow one to convey the profound teachings of yoga in a clear, calm and accessible way. It requires one to have a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter at its essence and adapt a non-dogmatic approach that encourages inquiry and investigation and can be of use to everyone.
