Facilities

Pre-requisites

It is a pre-requisite that you are familiar with basic yoga texts (Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Bhagavad Gita, ‘Light on Yoga’ by B.K.S Iyengar) and have prepared an outline proposal for your final paper, which should be written after completion of the course.

Certification

Students who complete their subsequent training are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®).

Suitability for the teacher training

The teacher training is suitable for those who want to embark on a career as a yoga teacher, teachers who would like to improve their current skills, as well as yogis who simply would like to deepen their understanding and improve their practice. Trainees often start as students and then decide to dedicate themselves more seriously to the study, investigation, and propagation of yoga. Some have had experience elsewhere and have reached a level where they feel ready to consider teaching. Others may have no intention of leaving their current work, but simply want to develop the knowledge and ability to confidently guide others in this rewarding practice.

Course content

The intensive teacher training is 200-hour Yoga Alliance accredited (check out yogaalliance website for more information).  It will cover all aspects of yoga along with detailed instruction in the Quantum Method and how to teach it. Study of Ayurveda, the science of life, will result in an understanding of how this informs not only the emphasis in one’s yoga practice but also the effects of such lifestyle choices as food, recreational activities, creams, and massage oils, etc.

You will explore the roots of the yoga tradition, learning about its history within the socio-cultural context of India from ancient times to the present day, as well as its links to other mystical traditions and its role internationally today. Students will learn about a variety of systems and styles. Using the Quantum Method of yoga, apprentices will eventually gain the ability to assess what practice is appropriate for themselves and their prospective students and learn how to creatively construct balanced flowing vinyasa yoga sequences.

As Quantum advocates Vinyasa (breath-synchronized movement) as a primary mode of practice, most asana classes will be of a dynamic nature. Pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation practice will also form a daily part of the practice.

There will be a variety of modules covering such themes as Anatomy and Physiology, Adjustments, Therapeutic Yoga, Post, and Pre-Natal Yoga, Yoga for Children, Asana names, groupings, and sequencing techniques, ancient scriptures such as the Vedas and Upanisads, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Sanskrit, Ayurveda, Buddhism, Tantra, etc. Where applicable out-of-house specialists will run the modules.

Teaching will be both practical and theoretical on a group and individual basis, and there is a requirement for you to spend your own time reading and keeping a yoga diary. You will work to a full and exciting schedule: all teaching and assessment will take place at Prana and you will then have until December 14, 2021, to submit your 2,500-word essay which will complete your training and qualify you for registration.

If you are interested, please let Quantum Yoga know as soon as possible. They will send you an interview form, which will give you both the opportunity to confirm your suitability for and interest in the program. Participants are limited to 15.

Language of instruction

The course will be held in English, but Nadine and Lara speak fluent German, Lara also has very good French and Spanish skills, so if you are not a native English-speaker, translation can be offered where questions arise.

The retreat will take place at Prana Ibiza, situated in the camp (countryside), but not far from the lovely town of Santa Eularia.

Quantum Yoga is passionate about nutrition, so the food will be healthy, delicious, where possible organic and locally sourced, as well as copious. The delicious and healthy food on the course will be largely, although not exclusively, vegetarian, while individual dietary requirements will be taken into account.

Their talented chef Abel grows and sells his own vegetables, so he will be using a lot of produce straight from his land, often harvested the same day you will eat it! The 2019 trainees absolutely loved his cooking and his kind, relaxed and unimposing presence. Catering for groups involved in spiritual practice, Abel ensures that meals complement and enhance the yoga experience, whilst leaving the group delighted and fully sated.

Lara lives on Ibiza and has been coming since 2002, so she knows the best massage therapists, healers and other specialists, and can easily arrange villa visits.
