Yoga Teacher Training
Namaste offers level 1 (200 hours) Yoga Alliance Accredited Yoga Teacher Trainings in Bahrain
For aspiring teachers and serious students of yoga, Namaste's 200hr Teacher Training is a comprehensive yoga teacher training program that combines the smooth, breath-centered flow of Vinyasa yoga with precise art and science of alignment. Teacher Trainees will begin each day with an in depth pranayama (breathing) and meditation practice followed by an intense asana (postural yoga) practice that focuses on a different family of poses each session. After a thorough physical exploration of an asana theme, the rest of the day is spent learning how to translate this newly and more clearly understood personal practice into effective teaching. Days often include rigorous classroom inquiry, posture labs, self enquiry and practice teaching. Students in the Teacher Training will also study anatomy and physiology, explore yoga’s philosophy, investigate Subtle Body and Ayurvedic Science.

The Teachers
Weam Zabar, RYT500 and ERYT200 certified Yoga Instructor and Reiki Healer and the founder of Namaste. Weam's teaching style is fluid, creative and fun. Her Yoga journey started six years ago and nothing remained the same. Seeing how Yoga nurtured her life she left behind a demanding corporate job to dedicate her to guiding others and sharing their journey home. Namaste since has helped hundreds of students taste the sweetness of the Yoga practice.
Her enthusiasm, curiosity, energy, compassion and passion are contagious. She believes that everyone has an "edge" and whilst she is a firm believer that this edge is very different for individuals, she enjoys watching people grow from taking themselves to places that both challenge and respect where we are at in our journeys. Weam encourages both the fun that comes with movement and peace that comes with stillness.
