Program Highlights

Yoga is so much more than asana. It is a way of living. A journey of self-development. A path to discover who we truly are. Yoga asana is only one of the eight pillars of Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga – the eight limbs of Yoga; guidelines to live a meaningful and happy life. After completing our training we want you to understand the foundation and roots of Yoga, the importance of this ancient philosophy in our every-day-life and how to carry on these teachings. To ensure the quality of our course and to help you track your progress we will have weekly quizzes, one final written exam and a practical exam in which you are going to teach a Yoga class of your choice.

You will learn the benefits and precautions of all the Shatkarmas and how to perform them in a safe way to clean and purify your body.

Mudras as powerful gestures that change the flow of prana in our bodies. During the practice we can use them to balance the energy. They can either increase or decrease the energy and vitality in certain areas of our body, helping us to come back to a state of equilibrium.

Every day of our 200 hours Yoga teacher training we are going to chant different mantras together. You might have already experienced the power of certain mantras and how they resonate with you.

Nutrition plays a major role in the yogic lifestyle. The food we consume has a tremendous effect on our health and the quality of our yoga practice.
