Curriculum

This teacher training course is divided into three parts: In the first cycle, you will concentrate on the fundamentals of yoga practice, which is the philosophical aspect as well as the adjustments that will help to refine your practice. The second part is about applying the alignment techniques that you learned during the first cycle and developing your practice. The third part is about integrating all this into the practice and also developing a teaching methodology and settings. Students begin to integrate teaching with their personal practice.
