Methodology

The methodology for this training is inspired by the Krishnamacharya lineage and incorporates teaching tools derived from both the
Iyengar and Ashtanga styles. 

From the Iyengar style, we follow:

• Guidelines for functional alignment
• The use of props to support and enliven the expression of the pose;
• Clear and sensible sequencing.

From the Ashtanga style, we follow:

• Our practice as a moving meditation
• The use of Ujjayi Breath as a tool for mindfulness and focus
• The incorporation of sun salutations and vinyasa to create a flow-style practice.

From our more contemporary awareness:

• We teach with inclusivity, accessibility, and body positivity.
• We also commit to holding the scope of a yoga teacher’s professional and ethical role including to be of greater service
for our community and in the world.

Curriculum

    • The practice of breathwork awakens the life force and opens the door to profound meditation. Deepen your knowledge and gain mastery in teaching pranayama and explore the philosophy that gave birth to these techniques in a training designed to revitalize your physical and energetic bodies.

  • Yoga teaches us that the pursuit of inner stillness is actually enhanced by periods of physical activity. As you sink into meditation, asana becomes a tool to embody higher awareness.

    Also applying those principles through Therapeutic Ball Rolling: the intersection between Applied Anatomy and Manual Therapy.

  • Exploring and engaging with the subtle body is a a means to self-understanding that leads to self-exploration and transformation. The subtle body is primarily composed of a complex network of nadis, the chakras and also linked to the five Koshas. The study of subtle anatomy allows potential for spiritual awakening, and the ability to positively impact the world around you.

  • Apply effective tactics for using yoga therapeutically. Gain skills to assess, adapt, and support individual injuries and specialized populations of students including: Chair Yoga, Prenatal Yoga and Kids Yoga.
