200-hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training
Available In-person, Online & Hybrid
The objective of the 200+ hour training is to give you a deep understanding of the Ashtanga Primary Series asanas, so you can teach them in a safe precise manner.
When you complete the training, you should:
- Know the primary series backwards and frontwards.
- Understand the alignment of all the asanas.
- Have better observation skills to use to teach different body types.
- Know yourself better through self-observation techniques.
- Be able to comprehend the anatomical aspects of the asanas.
- Know what the foundations of the Ashtanga practice are and how to teach them effectively (i.e.: bandha, breathing, drishti, vinyasa).
- Know the 8 limbs of yoga and a couple of the most relevant sutras to our practice and daily life.
- Know the lineage and history of Ashtanga Yoga.
- Have a foundation to build upon to feel comfortable with verbalizing the instructions for the primary series.
- Have a foundation to build upon to feel comfortable giving hands-on adjustments.
- Have an understanding of what it means to cultivate a yogic lifestyle and how to apply this when becoming a yoga teacher.
- Be able to cultivate a regular pranayama practice.
Then the bonuses we like to peek into – to perhaps spark some interest in topics other than Ashtanga are:
- Pranayama
- The Chakra System
- Self-Observation
In short, we want you to have a STRONG foundation for a beginner teacher in the most important skills needed to grow in your teaching life while inspiring you to investigate further into the other limbs of Ashtanga.
