WHO IS THIS VINYASA YOGA TRAINING DESIGNED FOR:
Vinyasa Yoga is a popular yoga style defined by a linkage of the breath and movement while inhabiting a meditative space – a moving meditation. There are a variety of vinyasa styles ranging from vigorous to a slow flow, but this linking of breath and movement anchors the asana practice.
This interdisciplinary vinyasa training is designed for:
- Those who seek a more challenging and inspirational asana practice and style of teaching.
- Those who wish to immerse themselves in yoga theory, methodology, and philosophy.
- The chronologically young and those of any age who are young at heart and wish to remain
physically active, injuries and physical challenges notwithstanding! Modifications are available
to everyone, making yoga accessible to all. - Those seeking to transform their lifestyle through physical activity (the asanas) as well as
meditative and spiritual practices (8 limbs). - Those with a desire to learn and share more of the wisdom and philosophy of yoga teachings.
Our Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training students have ranged in age from 19-68 and we recognize the immense value of a diverse group of students! Does this sound like you? We hope you’ll join us!
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Our program schedule includes more than 220 hours of training, which meets and exceeds the Yoga Alliance standards for their 200-hour certification and puts any instructor on a path toward a 500-hour certification.
