Purpose:

The purpose of the Teacher Training Course is to let you acquire the knowledge of Yoga, the ability to practice Yoga correctly in accordance with the traditional method and that you become a true Yoga-teacher.

Recognition:

You ask for a deep personal conversation with your master at the end of the Teacher Training Course. Obviously you first have to be convinced yourself that you have reached the level of a Yoga-teacher. How can someone else otherwise be able to recognize the reality of this fact?

Recognition as a teacher and assessment of the quality of knowledge then take place according to tradition: A true Yoga-teacher can be recognized by his or her knowledge of the secret energy seal's (Mudra's).

When another, second Yoga-master has recognized you as a Yoga-teacher, you finally can consider yourself to be a Yoga-teacher, whose quality is personally warranted by those two Yoga-masters. This is the tradition since many centuries.
