If you are looking for a deeper connection with your inner self, to elevate your knowledge of yoga practices and philosophy, or to create a new career path that’s aligned with your beliefs and values, this course is for you.
The training is truly unique, with each content and practice created with pure love and nourishing intention. The curriculum and philosophy focus on traditional Hatha yoga, diving deep into the eight limbs of Hatha philosophy.
You will learn how to integrate the empathetic and spiritual practice of Hatha into your life, learning not only how to exist, but how to flourish and elevate in both your inner and outer world.
Vinyasa is a modern form of yoga that comes from the Hatha asana practice and focuses on harmonizing breath with every movement in the yoga flow. No two Vinyasa classes are the same and La Casa Shambala will teach you how to sequence beautiful Vinyasa flows that will embody your unique teaching style.
This course also explores the teachings of traditional Ayurveda like the ayurvedic diet, your Ayurvedic profile (the doshas), and using Ayurveda for preventative health and wellness.
As a yoga teacher, it’s important to understand human anatomy and how yoga influences your bodies from an anatomical level. La Casa Shambala's course teaches anatomy from a traditional and biological standpoint as well as the conjunction between yogic philosophy and biological principles. This is so that all students can understand, from a biological level, why asana practice makes everyone feel better.
This yoga teacher training certifies you in Hatha and Vinyasa styles, however, during your training you will get a taste of other types of yoga, especially Yin / Restorative yoga.
200 hours is just that, 200 hours taken from the infinite knowledge and wisdom that the path of Yoga has to offer to you, so what you will learn during these 18/21 days with us is the groundwork. You will cover the areas and topics that are required by the International Yoga Alliance, like philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, asana clinic and different practices such as Kriyas, mantras and asanas, to show you the big change that can happen inside when you strictly give yourself to this practice. We take our training very seriously, we want you to learn and get the best out of your time with us, but at the same time we empower you with your right to choose your own path, meaning that we honor every master, every lineage and every path. We will never tell you that there is only one truth, because we believe you will find that in your heart.
When you train with us, you can expect 18/21 days of healthy food, ups and downs, unimaginable growth and an unforgettable experience surrounded by like-minded beings in a beautiful and nature-hugged paradise. We are here to support you in the path that walks you back home, the home within.
