Why Choose Knoff Yoga Teacher Training?

1. The Courses are designed so that you will be properly prepared, trained and certificated to teach the Course levels you have studied – providing you do the work and pass the tests.
2. We do not mix styles. Our aim is to simplify and clarify and this does not mean dumbing down. It is impossible to learn, much less understand, more than one style of yoga in a single teacher training course.
3. Upon graduation, you will receive Knoff Yoga certification.  You can automatically apply with the Yoga Alliance® for the appropriate level registration:          
4.  *YOGA ALLIANCE – 200 Hour (Level 1 - Dicovery & Level 3 - Foundation)  
    *YOGA ALLIANCE – 500 Hour (the above plus Level 2- Chair Yoga, Level 4 -Pregnancy Yoga, Level 5 - Yoga Therapy A, Level 6 - Yoga Therapy B and Level 7 - Intermediate)
5. Your name, certificate level and contact details will be listed on the Knoff Yoga website under 'Certificated Teachers'.
6. Any previous training or courses you have successfully completed with the Yoga Alliance will be accredited so that you commence your Knoff Yoga Teacher Training at an appropriate level.
7. You have access to discounted Combined Public/Products Liability& Professional Indemnity Insurance through the Knoff Yoga Association Inc. and OAMPS for those teaching in Australia.
8. We do not believe in gurus! Excellent teachers and helpful guides, yes. But if you wish to grow in yoga (as in life) you have to think for yourself. There is nothing in Knoff Yoga that will interfere with or contravene common-sense. We actively encourage questions.
9. All Intensive Courses are led by Master Teachers, Nicky Knoff, and/or James Bryan. You will not be lumbered with junior teachers. Nicky & James teach all aspects of the Courses including: asana, pranayama, meditation, teaching methodology, anatomy and physiology and yoga philosophy.
10. You have continuing support with Knoff Yoga. We keep in regular contact with the monthly Knoff Yoga e-Newsletter and you are encouraged to submit articles for publication.  You are also welcome to participate in future courses part-time, that is, if you would like a boost to your practice/teaching you can join a course for 1 day or many days - your choice.

13. The Anatomy & Physiology section of the Courses are based on the books of Dr. Ray Long.
14. All Training is based on the Knoff Yoga ‘24 Principles of Practice’. These principles greatly simplify the understanding of the multifaceted science of yoga, to make both practice and teaching straightforward.
15. In Knoff Yoga, unique systems have been carefully designed to help you implement the course information into your practice and teaching, for example, 5 class components and a 5 week rotational theme.
