You will acquire the foundations for the practice and teaching of yoga, including asana, pranayama, Yoga nidra, meditation, meditative arts, philosophy, and mantra chanting.

Our teaching methodology has been refined over many years of research, practice, and exploration of different parts and schools worldwide. It integrates Yoga Iyengar, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Krama, traditional Tantra, and Tibetan Buddhism.
