Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, often referred to simply as Ashtanga Yoga, is a dynamic and rigorous style of yoga.

Throughout this training, you will gain expertise in:

Chakra meditation is a practice that involves focusing on the energy centers within the body known as chakras. Each chakra is associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of human existence. Chakra meditation involves various techniques such as visualization of colors associated with each chakra, chanting of specific mantras corresponding to each chakra, or focusing on the sensations and emotions associated with them. By bringing awareness to the chakras and working with their energies, practitioners aim to remove blockages, release stagnant energy, and harmonize the flow of prana (life force) throughout the body.

In this 300 h course you will learn more about the seven main chakras and different techniques of Chakra meditation.

We will introduce Sujok therapy, a unique healing modality that combines elements of acupuncture, acupressure, and reflexology. You will learn how to utilize the body’s inherent healing mechanisms through precise stimulation of specific points, promoting holistic well-being and vitality.

Patanjali compiled and structured Yoga knowledge, condensing it into the “Yoga Sutras.” Emphasizing a hands-on approach, this method focuses on personal exploration and experimentation with diverse practices. In our course, we expand our exploration of the sutras beyond the traditional eight limbs of Yoga.

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Gheranda Samhita are two important ancient texts that provide comprehensive insights into the practice and philosophy of Hatha Yoga. We will explore the different chapters and included yogic practices hold significant importance in the tradition of Hatha Yoga.

Pranayama

Both the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Gheranda Samhita discuss pranayama (breath expansion) as an essential component of Hatha Yoga practice. Each scripture dedicates an entire chapter to pranayama and in this training, you will learn these traditional techniques.

Daily meditation improves our focus and concentration, reduces stress, regulates our emotions, increases our self-awareness and allows spiritual growth. These are only a few reasons why we incorporate a daily meditation practice in this 300 hour Yoga training in Canada.

We will focus on Ashtanga Vinyasa and Arm Balancing specific anatomy like arm and shoulder anatomy and anatomical patterns in arm balances, as well as the effects of Yoga on the nervous system, other body systems and how different posture groups affect our body and how the knowledge of the underlying anatomy can help us to utilize this in our practice and classes.

Mudras are considered as essential components for the regulation of prana (vital life force) and the facilitation of energy flow within the body. In the Hatha Yoga scriptures mudras are described as techniques for redirecting energy, achieving mastery over the mind, and awakening higher states of consciousness.

A mantra is a sacred sound, word, or phrase that is repeated silently or aloud during meditation  or spiritual practices. Mantras can be simple syllables, single words, or longer phrases, often drawn from ancient scriptures or teachings. Mantras serve as powerful tools for focusing the mind, connecting with the divine, and deepening the spiritual practice. 

Shatkarmas are integral components of Hatha Yoga practice and play an important role in purifying the body and balancing the energies. Together we are going to practice jala neti, sutra neti, nauli, kapalbhati, trataka.
