There are many yoga teacher training courses available in Israel using different approaches with a range of requirements. 

I would specifically like to recommend Zohar Shapira Mansura's two-year certification course based on personal experience. 

I have studied and practiced yoga on and off for over a decade primarily in the Jerusalem area. I have taken classes with various teachers from different traditions and methodologies here and outside of the country. 

Regardless of the "branding" of the yoga styles, I personally prefer teaching that is anatomically sophisticated, has a flowing structure to the class, and pays acute attention to the safety and comfort of all students.

Clear and calm instruction, challenging but logical pose (asana) series, and a concerted effort to help students master the material are qualities that I look for in yoga teachers. As a professional dancer, I am particularly sensitive to responsible teaching. I have been in many classes that were lacking in attention to students' limitations and capacities. 

 Zohar has unique experience and skills accumulated over years of learning and teaching. Her explanations, guidance, and example have brought me to a place where I am fully independent in my practice and able to begin my journey as a teacher.  Her profound love and understanding of movement infuse the classes. Over the course of the training, I witnessed my own development and that of the other students. 

The training is holistic and well-planned with the added benefits of anatomy, philosophy, and independent studies. 

I would highly recommend the course to anyone who is looking to really practice yoga and incorporate it into their lives. 

I would specifically recommend the course for dancers. Yoga is excellent complementary training to dancing no matter what style you are involved in. Yoga improves breathing, stamina, stability, balance, concentration, coordination, control, and conscious presence in the movement. I have incorporated all that I learned from Zohar in my teaching, performing and training. I pass on the gifts I received in Zohar's course to others. I believe that my experience in the course has deepened my investment in my work and given me a more positive and healthy approach to dancing. 

With Total Respect and Appreciation.
