Course Objective
This foundation program systematically deepens your experience and understanding of the philosophical roots and diverse practices of the classical Ashtanga* and Hatha Yoga traditions. All aspects of Yoga are taught as a physical and spiritual discipline, uniting body, breath and mind. Develop skills to teach a beginning yoga class in the three areas of pranayama (classical breathing practices), meditation and asana (postures). Through the interactive nature of this program, you build a supportive network, learning from one another as well as from the experienced faculty. * This program is not the same as Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga as taught by students of K. Pattabhi Jois.
Who Should Attend
Serious Students
Our yoga teacher training program offers instruction in beginning and intermediate levels of pranayama, meditation and asanas. It is ideal for people of all ages and abilities who want to immerse themselves in a residential program to deepen their understanding and practice of yoga. It is also ideal for those who want to develop the foundation skills to become a yoga teacher. A flexible body free of injuries is not a prerequisite for this training nor is it essential that you want to become a yoga teacher. Due to the intensive nature of this training it is not suitable to anyone new to yoga.

“A tree is inside a seed in a subtle form.
When the seed is sown
the tree comes out in its gross form.
In the same way, all knowledge is already
in our mind and by doing Yoga
this knowledge comes out like a tree."
- Baba Hari Dass
