They believe in the power of self-initiative, self-love, and personal evolution. The only way to truly have an impact on the world is to start with their own vibration. They believe in the potential of the community and that a small group of like-minded people has the ability to change the world. They believe that those who have a position of power have a responsibility to help those in need. They actively reach out to the community and try to improve what they see.
The idea of 'reaching out by reaching within' is at the heart of their teacher training program - equipping you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to connect with others and teach the benefits of yoga, so that others may experience the transformative effects. Even if teaching is not your goal, they know that you are a conscious individual with the desire to expand your practice and embrace a yoga lifestyle. Are you ready to evolve?

Practice
Theory
Workshops
The training starts with a strong physical foundation, evolving into energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual practice. Key principles and rules of yoga are taught, allowing the teachers and dedicated practitioners to gain an in-depth understanding, knowledge, and insight into the methodology and the effects of yoga practice. The approach encourages integration with society in a modern context.
The teaching modules each represent a pillar of the Vikasa yoga method, mind, body, and energy. These three pillars, when taught together, create a well-rounded yoga education with an emphasis on the development of the individual. This unique curriculum has been tried and tested over the years, ever-evolving with lasting results. The approach is further defined by the five shells or layers known as “koshas” physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
They like to think of their curriculum as two “hands” of learning under two structural pillars of practice and theory. The branches of topics vary from asana and meditation through methodology and application. This method of learning has taken decades to refine and now provides a stable platform for learning on mental and physical levels.
