The aim of this training is to explore the practices and philosophies of yoga, as well as their influences and background. These are taught in two modules of two weeks each, which build on each other and give time in between to practice and deepen what has already been learned.

We will explore the inner forms of yoga, study the scriptures, will practise pranayama and kriya, thereby allowing teaching to become a natural outcome of the practice.

The method taught is vinyasa, strongly influenced by the traditional Ashtanga Yoga method. 

The ‘eight-limbed path’ (Sanskrit: Aṣṭāṅga = eight-limbed) of Yoga according to Patanjali is the base of the teacher's practices and teachings.

Who is this training suitable for?

For students with several years of uninterrupted, regular yoga practice who would like to deepen their knowledge or start teaching.

We strongly believe that the foundation for teaching should be based on one's own experience and that further study can complete this knowledge.

स तु दीर्घकाल नैरन्तर्य सत्कारा असेवितो दृढभूमिः
sa tu dīrghakāla nairantarya satkārā āsevito dṛḍhabhūmiḥ

Practice becomes firmly established when it has been cultivated uninterruptedly and with devotion over a prolonged period of time.
