40h Teacher Training

This  Training for teachers and everyone who is deeply interested in the original method, Ashtanga Yoga was taught by Sri K. P. Jois, the founder of this method.

This training will focus on the practice and teaching of the Primary Series in a Mysore Style setting.
Andrea will support your own practice and will give you profound insights in all the different aspects of the teaching of traditional Ashtanga Yoga.

The participation is for yourself, to learn and refine your own practice and for your own teaching of Ashtanga Yoga.
This Training will provide you with the information to experience the practice of Ashtanga Yoga from an energetic point of view and how to practice for a transformational healing process on all levels.

We will explore in practice and theory all the different aspect of traditional Ashtanga Yoga. There will be an exploration of each Asana of the Primary Series, with the performance of the asana and the transitions between them. You will learn how to adapt the Ashtanga Yoga practice to different levels of experience and what each students brings to the practice. We will study how to give variations of the asanas to each individual’s needs and circumstances.

 

The main focuses in the training will be to provide safe and supporting adjustment according to the individual level of the student. We will explore in depth and detail hands on adjustments on each other and explore different variations for all Asanas of the Primary Series.
You will gain an understanding how to communicate with your hands on the students’ body, and you will experience how to realize energetic blockages and how you can support to release them.
