The teacher training is based on Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, so that upon completion of this program the trainees can include any kind of audience and adopt the teachings according to the student’s needs. Directed by Tanya Popovich ERYT-500, Yoga Acharya (Master of Yoga), this teacher training course is a combination of years of experience, expertise, and thousands of hours of training in various systems concentrated into a 3-week long transformational experience.
Training is based on tradition and classical yoga at its core as it draws from ancient yogic texts such as the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Tantric Yoga, and others. At the same time, modern teachings are incorporated into the methodology such as the biomechanics of the body, therapeutic alignment, intelligent sequencing, etc. This ancient and modern science is embodied in daily practice, on and off the mat.
Asana, pranayama, and meditation: The morning lesson is dedicated to your personal practice. The afternoon practice consists of your practice and learning how to teach.
The daily in-depth practice includes:
Philosophy and yogic lifestyle:

Satsang means “to be in the company of truth and wisdom”. As such it can mean study, contemplation, group discussion and sharing, sound meditations and chanting, Karma yoga, and other activities that raise your vibrations, lift your spirits, and open your mind. You will study, read, and contemplate on scriptures of ancient enlightened beings and modern teachers while also discussing how you can transfer their essence into your daily lives.
