The Training:
Title

3 days of yoga training in Amsterdam to deepen your personal practice and your way of teaching. Plant the seed to master every aspect of your life with yogic techniques.
Understand how to detach yourself from your mental mechanisms, in order to intuitively unleash your potential.
This 20 hours also allows you to maintain your knowledge and diversify your way of teaching, through philosophical learning, Asana lab and precise physical adjustment techniques.

Friday  

Through intensive practice, visual assessment, and hands-on assists, we will explore the principles that build the bridge from a foundational to advanced practice. How do we engage students and inspire them? We learn to teach from the place of knowledge, creativity, and experience.

Saturday

We will examine how the universal principles and the unique wisdom of each style can greatly enhance our understanding of energy flow and balance in our practice. Gain insight into creating classes that are both empowering and challenging for all levels, integrating a deeper understanding of alignment to help your students safely grow in their practice. This immersion is designed for teachers from all traditions of yoga and experienced practitioners (being a teacher is not required). 

​

Finally, we will explore linking the physical practice with the spiritual/inner journey of our students in a way that is accessible to a modern audience. Creating space for self-exploration is perhaps one of the more difficult and subtle aspects of teaching Yoga. Yet, it may be the most most important; allowing students to pass from a purely physical space toward self-inquiry and growth.

Become dedicated to moving away from scripted teaching toward creative artistry… the process of becoming absolutely present with your students.
