Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course

Vinyasa Flow

Get certified in 21 days

In our 200 hours Vinyasa yoga teacher training, we mainly focus on Vinyasa flow (60%), the practise of the primary series of Ashtanga (20%) and restorative/yin (20%) to counterbalance the practice.

Through the practise of vinyasa flow, students will experience the most popular and modern styles of yoga. The vinyasa flow practise incorporates awareness of breath and movement which disciplines our mind, body and soul.

We are keeping the essence of our multi-style course and integrating into this new training. We will cover the most important aspect of yoga by building a bridge between East and West, between science and spirituality, between practice and teaching. Learn, Teach & Change the world!
