advanced yoga teacher training

This is a Sad­hana and an Education/Teacher Train­ing for Yoga teach­ers and expe­ri­enced stu­dents that want an in-depth explo­ration, edu­ca­tion and per­son­al growth in the tra­di­tions of Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga is the gen­er­al term applied to any prac­tices of Yoga that involve Asanas, Pranaya­ma (breath­work), Med­i­ta­tion, Kriyas (inner cleans­ing), Mudras, Devo­tion and the under­ly­ing Philoso­phies for approach­ing an inner and
out­er life. 

The Svarū­pa Advanced Yoga Teacher Train­ing gives stu­dents a Con­tin­u­ing Edu­ca­tion Pro­gram in prac­tices of the Mod­ern and Ancient Hatha Tradition.

Asana is pre­sent­ed in dynam­ic form but with a deep­er under­stand­ing of align­ment, mod­ifi­ca­tions and adjust­ments. One can expect to see growth in all the prac­tices of Yoga but also to learn the deep­er sub­tle aspects of the prac­tice. How to make it more com­plex and advanced is only one aspect. Allow­ing the work to be sim­ple but to move into deep­er lay­ers of the con­scious is another.

Ther­a­peu­tic Asana, Pranaya­ma, Breath­work, Yoga Nidra/Prana Vidya and Med­i­ta­tion sup­port this Train­ing.
The con­tent of the course, final assess­ment and cer­tifi­ca­tion gives stu­dents a chance to take a deep
Sad­hana over the length of the course, to have a sang­ha (a group of ded­i­cat­ed stu­dents work­ing togeth­er)
and to improve in teach­ing and facil­i­ta­tion skills, plan­ning and hold­ing space in group and 1 – 1 settings.

The con­tent of this Train­ing covers:

• Lev­el One + Lev­el Two Syl­labus of Asana (Dynam­ic Asana and Restora­tive Asana)
• Foun­da­tion and Lev­el 2 Pranaya­mas and Kriyas
