About Our Curriculum:
Getting your 200-hour Ashtanga Yoga certification is like laying down the groundwork to become an awesome Vinyasa Flow teacher. We believe Ashtanga Yoga is the building blocks of Vinyasa Flow so this will be the foundation of our practice.
Now, we won’t sugarcoat it – this course will push you physically, and we’ll dive deep into Western anatomy. But it’s not just about the poses or the physical body. We’re all about being true yogis in the real world we live in so there’s plenty of philosophy discussions throughout the course; we believe it’s like a big puzzle – the physical stuff helps with the spiritual side, and the spiritual stuff makes your physical practice better.
