Welcome hOMe to the ISFYT Community!
What if those who never quite fit were destined to build much more inclusive alternatives?
What if being or feeling a little too much, too complex, actually came with the gift of seeing - seeing different perspectives at first perhaps, but more importantly seeing the meeting points between worlds that for too long have remained separate?
Do you dream of a world where accessible, inclusive, and individually-tailored yoga are the norm rather than the exception? And are you ready to be instrumental in building that world?
Itโs a different kind of teacher weโre interested in training.
If you are already walking your own individual path, but are looking for a community of wholehearted and courageous fellow travellers, if you embrace your inner work as a pre-requisite for holding masterful space, and if you are passionate about aligning your inner truth with your outer reality, the International School of Functional Yoga Teachers welcomes you with open arms.
Commitment to Mastery in Yoga Teacher Training
ISFYT Yoga Teacher Trainings are for you if you are interested in guiding students โoutta their headsโ and into their feels. There is no pulling shapes around here, only feeling the experience, and using it as the gateway to a much deeper connection to ourselves. Functional to its core, catering for all biologies and biographies, with a trauma-informed approach and emphasis on integration, this is where person-centred yoga practice an teaching begins.
World-class teaching is much more than delivering content or demonstrating knowledge. Great teachers embrace their personal practice and their inner landscape, and understand the value of great questions - both when theyโre asking them, and when theyโre contemplating them. This is the true integrity of masterful teaching and space-holding. Great teaching can be encouraged through self-reflection and meditation, and ultimately is dependent on how willing you are to meet your whole self; no striving, no holding back.
โGood teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher.โ - Parker Palmer
Technique = How? skilled & effective are you as a teacher
Identity = Who? are you as a teacher
Integrity = Why? are you teaching
Are you ready to experience, integrate, and embody Functional Yoga as Therapy?
Are you ready to first dive deep into the What so that you can share it effectively, with integrity and depth of presence.
