At Ashtanga Yoga Shala we are interested in presenting the Ashtanga

Vinyasa Yoga practice in its fullest context as a spiritual practice,

and cultivating a teaching method consistent with that of Sri K

Pattabhi Jois. To this end, we are very excited to be offering a

teacher training which is unique in that it is specific to Ashtanga

Yoga, and in support of the traditional teaching method. There is a

strong emphasis on personal practice as the inner guide for teachers.

 

This 200 hour Teaching Intensive* will offer a comprehensive overview

of Ashtanga Yoga, in a small, intimate group - personally guided by

AYS directors. The training meets the Yoga Alliance 200 hour

standards, and may be applied to registration as an RYT 200.

 

All contact hours are with the primary teachers with extensive

experience. We have carefully assembled a faculty comprised of

dedicated practitioners and teachers of Ashtanga Yoga. Each one has

spent one to two years studying directly with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in

Mysore, India, and returns regularly to continue that study. In

addition, each one has studied his/or her area of specialty for 10 or

more years with senior teachers in that field.

 

The training will cover the following areas:

 

* Deepening Personal Practice

* Precise Vinyasas and Drishti

* Ashtanga specific Alignment

* Ashtanga Yoga Philosophy

* Ayurveda for a Yogic Lifestyle

* Introduction to Pranayama

* Sanskrit Foundation

* Ashtanga Mantras

* Anatomy and Physiology

* Mysore Style Adjustments for Primary Series

* Mentored teaching

* Teaching Beginners and Led Primary Series

* Practice Teaching in a Public Setting

year and must demonstrate reasonable proficiency.
