Aspiring teachers and serious students will gain an understanding and experience of Yoga and Ayurveda as a holistic practice that affects all levels of being. Participants will be taught the fundamentals of Hatha Yoga in the Vinyasa style. Beyond the comprehensive physical aspects of practice, this month long intensive is structured to be empowering and life affirming, to help participants take a quantum leap in their Yoga practice and life journey.

This 300 hour foundational yoga teacher training program is a process of total immersion and transformation, for serious students with a passion for yoga. Whether you are preparing for your teaching path or simply want to take your practice to the next level, expect to dive into the roots of yoga and open your heart to an intensely transformative and rejuvenating journey. Individuality is nurtured and encouraged, and sensitivity toward your future student's varying levels of yoga ability are cultivated. Asana and meditation are practiced to your unique proficiency. Learn to take and teach classes that combine a consistent therapeutic vision and gain a thorough understanding of the applied principals of alignment that create a safe and effective class for all ages and body types.

CURRICULUM
The extensive teacher training curriculum choices blend the best of Eastern and Western traditions, science and philosophies. The training is a fusion of the traditional Eastern teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda with teachings from highly experienced and dynamic western Vinyasa Yoga masters, offering trainees an opportunity to impart their study practically and relevantly in a global yoga environment.

Through practicing and living Yoga, our holistic approach integrates the science of Ayurveda and the Vinyasa style of Hatha Yoga to form a well-rounded basis for authentic teaching and personal practice development. We will explore essential tools such as alignment, movement, adjustments, sequencing, meditation, yogic lifestyle and philosophy. Our training gives you the support of a like-minded group of people, dedicated to the art of practice and provides a safe and nurturing environment in which to learn and grow. The process is enhanced by the physical location and the power of nature.

Best part of all, learning is experiential. You will experience the power of daily morning meditation from our dramatic meditation deck overlooking the sea and practice asana twice daily from our open air yoga shala set amidst tropical gardens. Additionally, you will participate in Ayurveda workshops and study techniques and receive an individual consultation with Ayurvedic Doctor and prescribed treatment plan, including 4 Ayurveda Spa treatments.
