29 Day 500-Hour Quantum Yoga Intensive Certified Yoga Teacher Training in Ibiza, Balearic Islands

Facilities

Suitability for the teacher training

The Teacher Training is suitable for those who have completed a 200-hour training and would now like to develop their teaching skills further, deepen and intensify their understanding of the knowledge gained previously, and gain additional insight into the spiritual science of yoga.

Certification

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

Course content

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 500-hour program will run alongside the 200-hour Intensive Teacher Training, and as such you will act in the role of the mature student, able to support and advise the less experienced trainees. You will therefore be working very closely with Lara and Nadine, thus acquiring the practical, pedagogic and psychological skills to guide students through stressful and pressurized situations.

The content of the course will be a further development and deepening of your understanding of the history, philosophy and application of yoga. In order to substantiate your knowledge of Quantum Yoga, you will be expected to further explore the teachings of Ayurveda and the significance of Quantum physics in the framework of asana-vinyasa, pranayama and meditation practice. There will be a chance to recap the subjects covered in the previous courses (see 200-hour TT content), and thus expand your knowledge on these from a solid foundation. You will be expected to develop from simply taking in information to now displaying the skill of clearly and succinctly imparting it to others, as well as relating it back to and integrating it into the realm of asana teaching. Thus part of the 500-hour course work will include a lecture prepared by you on a chosen subject. This may then also form your subject for a written thesis of 5000 words. You will be expected to have prepared an outline proposal for your final paper, which will be written after completion of the course (the final submission date is 30th December 2021).

The assessment on the 500-hour course will consist of a written preparatory outline with handouts, to be approved by Lara, followed by the actual teaching of the class. The structure will need to follow the Quantum Yoga Grouping and Sequencing laws. There will have to be an explanation of the Assessment methodology, as informed by Ayurvedic principles. The sequence will have to have a clear theme, a peak pose (if appropriate), as well as the application of linking mechanisms beyond half-vinyasas.

Over and above the 200-hour classes, all of which the 500-hour trainees will attend, there will be an additional Practicum before the main morning asana-vinyasa class, as well as Quantum Yoga's own Q&A session before the lectures in the afternoon. There will be regular meetings with Lara to review the study, practice, and events of the course, in order to clarify their relevance and significance, preparing the 500-hour students’ ability to construct and execute their own elaborate yoga programs in the future.

This course will take place in Ibiza, Balearic Islands.

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.
