This 10-week practical Yoga philosophy course will dive into the profound teachings that derive from the Yogic tradition. This course was designed for those with an interest in Yoga who have a desire to understand the principles as well as develop ways to use them into their daily lives. Through Yoga philosophy, we begin to understand the way this ancient tradition weaves into our selves, our habits and in turn, our lives.
This course isn’t only a way to learn more about Yogic philosophy, it is primarily a way to create connections, to discuss how we can transform our lives and realise our potentials as human and spiritual beings through the lens of Yoga.
Included in the course
- weekly live online sessions with our two senior teachers
- time for Q&As before each live session
- access to replays to review what we have learnt
- unlimited & lifelong access to our private Facebook community to ask questions, share, learn with each other and our teachers
- continuing education credits with Yoga Alliance & Yoga Australia
The teachers
Valerie Fimat-Faneco – Senior Yoga Teacher Trainer and Yoga Therapist
A French citizen, Valerie lived in Singapore from 2004 to 2021. She recently relocated to Perth with her Australian husband and two children. Valerie started to practice in 1994, has taught in the USA, the Netherlands, Australia and Singapore since 1999, and conducted teacher training courses in Singapore since 2008. She still mentors many graduates of past courses who now live all over the world, from the Americas to Europe and Singapore.
Valerie completed more than eight years of training with her mentor Frans Moors in Belgium and at the KYM in India with Mr Desikachar and other senior teachers. Through these long studies and decades of personal practice she has gained expertise in the following areas: postures and their modifications (āsanas), breathing techniques (prānāyāmas), energetic seals (mudrās), the use of sounds and mantras in yoga practice, visualisation techniques, meditation, counselling, Yoga philosophy, and the pedagogy of teaching people of all ages and abilities, including seniors, pregnant women, children and athletes.
As a Teacher Trainer certified under the direct supervision of Mr. Desikachar in 2007, she has been conducting teacher training courses and mentoring yoga teachers.
She has lectured for various schools and organisations in Singapore such as the Singapore Air Force, the Singapore American School, True Yoga, and Touch the Toes.
