In our 200 hour Yoga course in Germany we will lay a strong foundation in traditional Hatha Yoga, as this is the asana based practice all other Yoga styles developed from. You will learn more than 150 Hatha Yoga asanas and their alignment and how to sequence them in your Hatha Yoga, Hatha Flow and Vinyasa Flow classes. To deepen your own practice we also included Yin Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa lead classes. But Yoga is so much more than just asana, it is a way of living your life consciously and connecting with others on a deeper level. After completing this training we want you to understand the foundation and roots of Yoga, the importance of this ancient philosophy in our daily life and how to bring these teachings into the world.
What are the eight limbs of Yoga? Who is Patanjali? What is the definition of Yoga?
These are only a few of the questions we are going to discuss in our Yoga philosophy classes. We will take you to back to the origins of Yoga, make our way through its history and discover how it found its way to the west. We will clear up common misconceptions about Yoga and will dive deeper into Patanjali’s Yoga sutras and his eight limbs of Yoga to help you understand the ancient teachings and their relevance today
~ Etmyology and definition of Yoga
~ Aims and objectives of Yoga
~ Yoga eras
~ Paths of Yoga
~ Patanjali Yoga Sutras (Yoga Darshan)
~ Ashtanga Yoga and its relevance today
Sanskrit is more than just a language; it is a bridge to the culture and traditions from which Yoga originated. Being open to learning and using Sanskrit terms honors and respects the traditions of Yoga.
We include basic Sanskrit terms in this 200 h Yoga training including:
~ Body parts
~ Animal names
~ Counting
All of that will help you to remember the asana names.
Hatha is the foundation of all physically based Yoga practices like shatkarma, asana, pranayama and mudras. In this module you will learn more about the four limbs of Hatha Yoga and the Saptanga Yoga. We will explain the guiding principles of the Yogic practice and the differences between Yoga and the physical culture, as there are so many misconceptions about the asana practice.
Our 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training course in Germany is designed to help you understand the unique characteristics and commonalities of these three yoga styles. Throughout the course, you will gain insights into the history and evolution of each style and learn the specific teaching techniques for each one. By the end of the training, you will be well-equipped to choose the style or styles you are most passionate about teaching.
~ Hatha Yoga
~ Hatha Flow
~ Vinyasa Flow
Every morning we will practice asana together. Apart from traditional Hatha Yoga we teach Ashtanga Vinyasa and more the modern styles Hatha Flow, Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga. In these classes the main focus is your own practice. Use this training to also deepen your own Yoga practice. A regular self-practice is the foundation of all your teaching. It is your source of inspiration and energy and determines your quality as a Yoga teacher. Never give up your practice for the sake of teaching.
In our asana alignment classes we will then dive deeper into the art of teaching asana. You will learn
~ How to perform more than 150 Yoga postures with modifications and variations
~ The benefits and contraindications of each asana
~ How to use props like blocks, bolsters, blankets and belts correctly
~ How to integrate conscious breathing
~ How to cue your students to get into the postures

In our asana lab we lay the foundation for your future Yoga asana classes. With the asanas you learn during our 200 h Yoga teacher training in Germany you will be able to create Yoga classes independently of the style you would like to teach.
How do you plan your classes? How do you decide the order of the asanas?

We cannot conduct a Yoga Teacher Training without speaking about ethics. Sadly, the Yoga field as well as so many other areas of our life, offers space for discrimination and abuse. We want to make you aware of these topics. We will speak about the student – teacher relationship, equity and inclusion, inclusive word choice and cultural appropriation.

Every evening we will chant mantras together. You might have already experienced the power of certain mantras and how they resonate with you. You will learn the right pronunciation and we will discuss their meaning.
