Core elements of the training

This is a comprehensive program designed to immerse students in the method and philosophy of traditional Ashtanga Yoga. Centered on the Primary Series, the training develops disciplined personal practice alongside in-depth study of alignment, adjustments, breath, bandhas, and drishti, while also introducing key elements of Sanskrit terminology and chanting.

Beyond the physical practice, the program integrates anatomy, teaching methodology, and the philosophical framework of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, preparing students to teach with clarity, safety, and integrity. Rooted in lineage-based instruction, the training emphasizes both technical precision and inner understanding, offering a balanced pathway into teaching and living the Ashtanga method.

The Ashtanga Second Series, Nadi Shodhana (meaning “nadi cleansing”), focuses on purifying the subtle energy channels that allow prana—the life force—to flow freely throughout the body. When these channels are clear, we feel vibrant and balanced; when blocked, we may experience fatigue or mental fog. Complementing the healing foundation of the Primary Series, this 35-hour training explores the energetic significance of the chakras and offers a safe, intelligent breakdown of the Intermediate Series postures. Through personalized adaptations, anatomical alignment, props and modifications, hands-on adjustments, and guidance on readiness for the series, participants deepen both understanding and practice.

This series explores how the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali shape the way we approach physical yoga practice — not as performance, but as a path toward inner steadiness and self-awareness. Each session includes learning asana related sutras, self-inquire, integrated embodiment in asana practice and a closing meditation.

The 4 live classes explore the Primary Series as a moving meditation, where breath guides the practice, steadiness stabilizes, and ease is cultivated within effort. Over four progressive classes, the sequence is built from foundational postures to the full arc, emphasizing breath continuity, intelligent pacing, and mindful receptivity rather than depth or performance. Developing sensitivity to the flow of prāṇa, learning where to ground, soften, and maintain clarity throughout the practice, experiencing the series as an integrated, meditative movement.

Pre-recorded sessions complement the classes, offering a complete immersion in the precision and progressive development of the Primary Series. Designed to build strength, flexibility, and endurance while remaining gentle on the joints, the course develops your practice layer by layer in a way that feels stable, inspiring, and healing. With mindful guidance, pose variations, and adaptable options, you’ll learn to deepen or soften the practice according to your body’s needs—encouraging sustainable growth and long-term self-discovery.

This is a 12-class pre-recorded program that helps you understand the Ashtanga Primary Series by focusing on shared core actions across poses. By grouping postures that use the same movements, you’ll see how one pose prepares you for the next, making the practice feel more familiar and less effortful. Each class highlights a key action and demonstrates how recognizing it in multiple poses reduces strain and confusion, deepening both understanding and ease in your practice.

In this series you will be instructed on the practical anatomy around the given topic and how to better perform the asanas to respect anatomical alignment and movement in the body.

The four sessions are: Safeguard my Knees, Safeguard my SI Joints & Lower Back, Safeguard my Shoulders, and Safeguard my Neck
