The initial emphasis will be to give you the inspiration to take your practice to a much deeper level, and to create an environment that is conducive to learning.

First will be a self evaluation, making it clear where each student stands, as to make the next step possible… to a conscious evolution. The principles learnt will be basic to asana but they are also fundamental to such approach as dance and martial arts.

Yogic Philosophy as the basis or inspiration to your approach.

Breath & Vinyasa – Learning the mechanism of breath and its affect on the physical body, on the emotional body, and on the mental body.

Bandha & posture – Optimizing and understanding bandhas and their effect on one’s body. Bringing this understanding to the various asanas with a clear purpose of circulating the energy flow in the body.

Drishti – Bringing the state of mind that makes yoga a transformative process.

Nutrition/ayurveda – Mixing ancient and modern views on this subject.
(Guest speaker)

Anatomy – Learning very specific anatomy that goes along with the course content. Basic anatomy will be part of the suggested readings. (Guest speaker)

Esoteric anatomy, to understand how this practice is beyond the physical body.

Chanting – Studies of some mantras & chackra chanting.

Meditation – Bringing a meditative state to all our practices, various approaches will be explored.
 
The second aspect of the training will involve gaining the confidence and developing the skills that will allow you to transmit your own experience through:

• The use of adequate phrasing to give concise and progressive teaching instructions
• Advice to implement safe and clear adjustments
• Guidance to read into the posture of the students on a physical and energetic level.

At the end of the course, if the student has fulfilled all the requirements required, he will receive a 200-hour Certificate of yoga training which is recognized by the Yoga Alliance of North America (RYS).
