1 Year Training (Level 1)

The main component of our teacher training are the tuition classes. For the 1 Year or Level 1 Training, tuition will take place fortnightly on Saturdays from 1.30 to 4.30pm. Throughout the training you will be required to revise the material presented and be proficient in it on the next tuition day. Your tuition days will be held either by Gregor Maehle, Dr Monica Gauci (Chiropractor) or Carmela Lacey.

After the appropriate tuition trainees may assist a Certified 8 Limbs' Teacher in class. This gives hands-on experience in adjusting students in specific yoga postures. Inexperienced students may first need to establish themselves in the Ashtanga Yoga practice before they commence assisting. Assisting comprises of a minimum of 1.5 hours (1 class) per week and is done in the 6am Intensive and selected evening classes.

Another component of the training consists of observing a Qualified 8 Limbs' Teacher instructing beginner students. This is followed up by supervised teaching where individual feedback is given. Both come into play only after a certain proficiency in the previous sections has been achieved.
