Join us for our 10th 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified Vinyasa yoga teacher training.  Vinyasa is the linking together of postures with awareness and the potent presence of breath.  The essence of the Kaya Yoga teacher training is infused with the spiritual heart of yoga while diving deep into the alignment principles of the asanas.

You will learn mantra, mudra, and meditation practices that will re-connect you to the heart of your practice. Together we will connect and lay the foundation for personal growth and transformation, preparing you to share this rich practice with others.

Throughout the 6 month training we will cover in-depth: anatomy, tantra philosophy, history, the foundations of flow, applicable anatomy, meditation, mantra, the deities, alignment principles, sequencing, hands-on assisting, ethics, teaching yoga, and the business of teaching.

Theory and Practice of Yoga

This advanced training will emphasize deepening the students’ personal asana practice, which we believe to be the greatest source for creative teaching. In addition to a strong asana practice there will be a comprehensive study of the techniques and mechanics of fundamental yoga postures, while providing the tools necessary to teach yoga to others. To facilitate a more scientific understanding of the body, the training will include the study of functional anatomy and physiology. The training will also give developing and experienced teachers a balanced understanding of yoga by moving beyond the physical with the study of Vippasana meditation, (encouraging students to develop a daily meditation practice at home), a deep understanding of Pranayama, and an exploration of the 7 Chakras, the Dristhi and the 3 Bandhas.
