Yoga Teacher Training Overview

Our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training is based on the sequence of the Ashtanga Primary Series, combined with the creative sequencing approach used in the Vinyasa Yoga style of asana practice. Students will use the practice of the Ashtanga Primary series to build a strong foundation, deepening their understanding of functional anatomy, breathwork, and energetic elements within each pose. Drawing upon this strong technical foundation, students will be encouraged to experiment with Vinyasa-style class sequences, harnessing their creativity and authentic voice. By the end of the course, students will be able to confidently teach a modified Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga class suitable for all levels, from beginner through to advanced, and offer modifications for students with injuries or physical limitations.

The daily course outline consists of morning yoga and meditation practice, classes (modules range from anatomy, philosophy, history of Indian yogic culture, and class sequencing), afternoon practice and group teaching. Students will take a hands-on approach, learning the art of adjustments, key pose alignments, the use of basic yoga props, and how to approach yoga as a business. We explore ethical topics such as yoga etiquette, as well as the practical elements of teaching such as marketing, pricing and time management.

An pivotal component of our course is the physical practice of different styles of yoga. Students will practice the Ashtanga Primary series as well as Vinyasa, Yin, Hatha, and Power/’Rocket’ yoga, gaining an appreciation for the many different faces of yoga in the modern world. Upon graduating, students will be able to draw from their own experience of this wide variety of yoga styles to create and enhance their own class sequences, incorporating elements of Ashtanga and Vinyasa asana practice combined with pranayama and yoga philosophy.
