Yoga foundations Teacher Training
with Advanced Study in Chakra Yoga
Six Senses Yoga Society offers yoga training, knowing there are many paths that lead to the same truth. Thus, we invite open dialogue, self-growth, experimentation, open hearts and an authentic voice in a solid foundation of Traditional Hatha Yoga with advanced study in Chakra Yoga.
“SSYS 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is a dual Teacher Training, training includes: foundational yoga (200 hr) plus an advanced training of (300 hr) in Chakra Yoga.”
“No previous Yoga Teacher Training necessary to apply just a desire for personal growth and an understanding of what yoga is.”
Our training is influenced by the teachings of Shri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya and his son TKV Desikachar. Their philosophy of yoga is what defines yoga as we know it today; their influence is boundless on all styles of yoga. Our premise is that yoga is taught, whether in a private or class setting, with the individual’s needs in mind.
Unique to the Six Senses Yoga Certificate
The approach to facilitating our Yoga Training is a combination of oral, aural, kinetic and written instruction and observation; for assignments submissions you have the choice of the same combinations. SSYS encourages participants to use all their senses and to use the ones best suited to them for learning. You receive all course materials in a combination of DVD, CD and books formats. You have a generous amount of time to complete assignments. The tutors are available via e-mail, chat and phone for help.
SSYS encourages you to join our journey into yoga for a deeper understanding of yourself and the Arts of Yoga exploring of the nature of yoga through the ears, heart, touch, eyes, smells, tastes and through the subconscious and consciousness mind.

The course uses the same materials and practicum as the Yoga Teachers Training with an emphasis on yoga as a study, with the addition of one specialty subject of your choice in the area of yoga general (preferably from the materials supplied), one in chakra yoga, and one in an aspect of yoga you have practiced or wish to practice to study more in-depth.

Advanced Study in Chakra Yoga
Given that the chakra system is an integral part of yoga, it is a natural progression to learn the Chakras in-depth with the SSYS Hatha training.
The word “chakra” is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and signifies one of seven basic energy centres in the body. (Chakra is traditionally spelt “cakra” as c in Sanskrit is pronounced “ch”.) Each of these centres correlates to major nerve ganglia branching forth from the spinal column. Chakras correlate to levels of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colors, sounds, body functions, and more.
Previous Training Credits
Applicants who obtain a 200-hour yoga certification or the equivalent (self-taught, mentor ships, teaching, etc.) can challenge aspects of this training, but are expected to attend the Practicum Retreat as this is the basis of the Advanced study and contact hours earned for the 500 hour training. You may receive a reduction in fees: this will vary with each applicant and is at the discretion of Six Senses Yoga Society.
