Major Subjects Undertaken During Yoga Teacher Training in Mysore, India

You acquire strength combined with the flexibility in your body and mind needed to complete your transition into a complete Yogi.
Ashtanga Vinyasa literally translates to the eight(Ashtanga) limbs(Vinyasa). During the Ashtanga Vinyasa immersion, we focus on synchronizing your breath with the asanas to perform a series of poses in continuous rhythm while gaining fluidity and motion. Yoga Chikitsa or Yoga Therapy shall be your core during the 200 Hour Yoga TTC in India during which we perfect the primary series of Ashtanga with the aim to acquire finesse in standing and sitting asanas along with the inversion poses. The teachings are based on the origin of Ashtanga Yoga, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
