Frequently asked questions

 It is possible but we strongly recommend you to do attend some classes before joining the TTC. Navakaraṇa is quite different from other method in terms of both practice and teaching. The curriculum is vast and  you need to be seriously committed and dedicate to learn Navakaraṇa. We  can connect you with a Navakaraṇa studio or teacher near your place so you can have direct experience before joining the TTC.

Yes,  but you have first to complete the Essentials Workshop. This will also help you to understand Navakaraṇa methodology and faculties before you commit to Navakaraṇa teacher training. 

Master Teacher Trainings are taught by our Senior Faculty team of Master Teachers while Alumnus Teacher Trainings are taught by our team of Navakaraṇa Alumni and reviewed and examined by Grand Master Dario Calvaruso over the last three days of the course. 

Post training follow-up and Continuous Educations are important parts upon the conclusion of the training, you will be mentored by the faculty you are graduated by.

Yes, it is possible and we strongly recommend start teaching Navakaraṇa immediately after completing Module 1 otherwise you may forget many of the things you have learned in the training. Learning Navakaraṇa required several skills which can be developed only with practical teaching experience. You will be guided how to start teaching and how to implement teaching skills in your classes progressively.

You can teach Navakaraṇa only if you are Navakaraṇa graduated and authorised teacher. The training focuses on empower our teachers so they can teach and earn from their profession starting from module 1. We have  developed community and system where your teacher,  graduated students and classmates  can help you in developing your career or eventually become partners of your professional activity.

The training will cover both practice and teaching skills. So the training will definitely help you  in improving your practice. Anyway the main purpose of the training is to make you a Navakaraṇa Teacher and you may become teacher even without an original  intention. Please, make sure that you inform the teacher about your main focus before starting the training.

You should check with your doctor and follow his advice. If your doctor considers you fit to join the training programme, you can register. In this case you have to inform us at the time of registration.

Yes, you can do first Module 2 then Module 1.  Yet the optimal conditions for learning Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa it to proceed in order from Essentilas Workshop to Module 1, Module 2 etc. If you start with Module 2 you may feel behind other students who have already completed Module 1. If you can deal such feeling it is perfectly fine.

Yes, but you have to write and inform the faculty  with minimun of 180 days advance notice. 

 In order to register to Module 3 and/or Module 4 students are requested to have completed The Essentials Workshop, Module 1 and Module 2. Anyway if for some reason you cannot follow the sequential order you can send us a request explaining the reasons. We will consider case by case. 

Navakaraṇa is a sophisticated practice and methodology. In order to maintain high-standard in the learning process it is important that you allow time to assimilated what you learn in the training. You also have to consider that, Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa Teacher Trainings are intensive programme; and can be very exhausting joining more than two trainings a year.  It is important you allow time for recovery between trainings. We advise to start with Essentials Workshop then proceed with Module 1 and gradually with Module 2, 3  and 4.

If you ask this question is probably because you are confused with the newage  idea of  Yoga and you are relating Yoga to “body-mind training”

This mean that you have been a good student during the course and that you have gather all the necessary informations, knowledge and tools to become a teacher.  Graduation does not mean that you are a teacher. To become a teacher requites plenty of experience. Start teaching to your family members and friends. From there if you put efforts, dedication, time and consistency one day you will find yourself in a small studio, then doing workshops in the leading studios across the world and then into international conferences or media. It takes some time. Enjoy the journey of sharing with others all way through!

 The objective of the teacher training is to pass  to you all  the necessary information  to master the practice and teaching of all the series you have learned during the courses. If you are committed, you should be able to practise and teach all  the Navakaraṇa Series in full form or personalised way. However, it really depends on your efforts, receptiveness and commitment.

You will be trained in Naṭṭuvaṅgam in the Navakaraṇa Śikṣā Paddhati (Teaching Skills) Teacher Training Course.
