My body isn’t flexible enough, can I still be part of the Training?+

Every body is a Yoga body. As Yoga teachers, we learn how to find the right variations and modifications for every type of body or injury. We must be able to do exactly the same for ourselves. Flexibility is something that can be a result of practicing Yoga, it is not the aim of Yoga.

What style of Yoga does Yogalife teach?+

Hatha Yoga is the mother of all Yoga styles. It is the most authentic Yoga to teach as all existing Yoga styles are derived from Hatha. Yogalife teaches the foundational principles of asana (postures) and unique ‘hands-on’ adjustments. From here on, each student can develop their own teacher personality and style. We feel limiting a student to a particular sequence is limiting the growth of a would be teacher.

Who are the teachers and what is their experience?+

Yogalife teachers are a family of unique individuals and inspiring teachers, each with their own expertise in the field of Yoga, philosophy, anatomy, psychology.Each teacher is trained average at least 5 years before being included in the teaching team. Each weekend is delivered by an expert lead teacher and 4 assistant teachers. Read all bio’s here and find out who we are!

What if I miss some training hours or a whole weekend? Yogalife students are asked for their full commitment and presence throughout the training. Of course life happens and something might get in the way of your attendance. In that case, we look for the best solution together to make up for the hours. You will get the opportunity to do the topic in another training (also possible in one of our other locations) or do an online version of this topic. We might give you an extra assignment to make sure you have understood the material. In short, we are always here as teachers to give you extra wherever it is needed. If you are genuine and hungry to learn as a student, there are always solutions! How much time is required for homework and assignments? Throughout the training, you will be preparing your classes. In the beginning creating your sequences might take up some extra time. Next to that, you will complete two written assignments that will take a couple of hours to complete. Your own Yoga practice at home ideally takes up some time every day. The schedule of completing different tasks is shared on time so everybody can plan accordingly.
