Our School conducts 500 Hours of Yoga Advanced Teacher Training Course in 2 Yoga Styles as given below
- Classical Yoga – “RYT-500 Hours YTTC in Classical Yoga”
- Vinyasa Flow– “RYT-500 Hours YTTC in Vinayasa Flow”
General Information about the 2 Yoga Styles
1. Classical Yoga
Patanjali composed the Yoga Sutras which consists of 195 Aphorisms. They expound the Raja Yoga or the Eight-fold path, which are meant to be memorized, as it is not in written form
As per Patanjali, each individual is composed of matter (prakriti) and spirit (purusha). He further said that yoga would restore the spirit to its absolute reality, a teaching that saw a transformation from dualism to non-dualism
Our Teaching is according to Yoga Sutra & Hatha Pradipika (Hatha Yoga)
We follow Classical Yoga from the Sivananda tradition with lots of variations
2. Ashtanga Yoga (Vinyasa Flow)
Vinyasa means “Connection”. In terms of Yoga Asana, we can interpret this as a connection between ‘Movement’ and ‘Breath’
In Vinyasa Yoga the movement is synchronized to the breath (Ujjai). This style is also called Flow or Dynamic Yoga, because of the smooth way that the poses change one by one but in such a manner that it is moving altogether and appears like a dance. The breath becomes an important component because the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale.
