Vinyasa 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
WELCOME
Welcome current yoga teachers or dedicated practitioners wanting to teach or explore, to dive deep into the roots of the tradition of Vinyasa Yoga, and take a modern approach to master the art of purposeful, poetic movement. Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic, breath-synchronized practice rooted in the Sanskrit translation "to place in a special way". It defines a style where physical postures (asanas) are seamlessly linked together using the rhythm of the breath, moving fluidly from one position to the next rather than holding poses statically.
In this 200hr, YA approved training, structural alignment will blend seamlessly with classical modern vinyasa yoga, while influenced with the creative, fluid power of Prana Vinyasa® sequencing created by Shiva Rea. Grounded in my decades of experience as a Yoga Therapist and Prana Vinyasa® Flow Teacher— students will be immersed to unlock the profound mental clarity and vibrant physical vitality that true Vinyasa offers.
This certification course includes hands-on in-person weekends with online study, you will walk away knowing how to craft intelligent, purposeful and creative sequences that honor both the body's science and the spirit's flow, while letting go of the performance based athletic practices that fuel the ego negatively. Vinyasa, when taught with purpose and meaningfulness, can be a practice for every "body".
