Hari Om & Welcome to Gayatri Yoga Tenerife, Spain

If your dream is to become a yoga teacher, do not worry too much about difficult asanas, the ideal body shape nor extreme flexibility. We often have a misconception about being a yoga teacher and what that really entails. Yoga is much more than asanas, they are just a tool to control our mind. The discipline and mind work are the difficult parts. It is very important to understand that Yoga is a non-stop development and learning process. A yoga teacher training is just the first door we open to deepen this knowledge. Everyone has personal limitations and difficulties to reach certain postures. Being a yoga teacher does not mean practicing with the students throughout the class or showing them how nicely you can do the asanas. The aim of becoming a yoga teacher is to give knowledge, guidance, correction, and provide help for your students whenever needed. To become a good teacher it is important to have discipline, a strong will and the desire to learn and absorb the teachings. 

Sometimes beginners have greater levels of discipline than more advanced students, as they grow constantly, are more open minded and tend to absorb the new information. Often, more advanced students think that they already know everything, and do not give their full attention, or have difficulties handling any given feedback or corrections. As you can see you don’t need to be an advanced or “idealistic” yogi to become a great teacher. You need to be humble and full of positive energy. You need an open mind, and the power to motivate your students. You need confidence to lead classes, and have the ability to offer adjustments and corrections in the right way. All these points are important and will make you a great yoga teacher. Gayatri Yoga was the very first school at the Canary Islands and one of the very first schools in allover Spain, offering their Intensive Yoga Teacher Training Courses, following the traditions of classic Indian Yoga, being member of Yoga Alliance. They offer three formats of yoga teacher training courses: 3 Weeks Classic, 2 Weeks Hybrid, and Full Online, all following the same Yoga Alliance Syllabus. Based in beautiful Tenerife, Spain, the school has specialized in yoga teacher training for over 20 years.

This course is ideal for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of classic Indian yoga while choosing the format that suits them best. You will strengthen your personal practice and gain the skills to teach yoga confidently. What sets Gayatri apart is the quality of training and the dedication of its experienced teaching team. As a small, supportive school, they focus on individual attention rather than large groups. Their two decades of experience and glowing student reviews speak for themselves. The quality of their training courses, are much more important for them than any hip location or having the school at the first line of a beach. This actually allows them to keep the prices after all these years low, allowing students to become excellent yoga teachers for a fair price. For the Gayatri Team it’s all about the love and dedication towards yoga.
