The classes will bring together the traditional alignment of Ashtanga Yoga and the contemporary wisdom of functional movement.

Yoga Adjustments

Applying adjustments in Vinyasa Yoga has become super popular and takes your students’ practice to the next level. This module is designed to equip you with a practical methodology for applying adjustments in your classes. It covers the do’s and don’ts of adjustments in a yoga class and how to take precautions when teaching and adjusting a yoga class.

Set relevant intentions on a physical and spiritual level.

Yoga Anatomy & Physiology

Remember back with your 200 YTTC where you got the basics down? Well, now it’s time to really dig deep into the anatomy of the body. This module is all about taking a journey through the shoulders, hips, spine, knees, and feet. Understanding them inside out. You’ll also learn about the facial body and explore the concept of biotensegrity. This might sound dense to you… but with our unique way of teaching, you learn about anatomy through experience, experimentation, and functional movement.

Learn in a unique way by combining theory and practical.
Deepen your understanding of the human body and yoga asanas.
Understand the nervous system and how to create balance.

Yoga Philosophy

We’re going to explore the principles laid out in the Patanjali Yoga Sutras. Understanding the philosophy behind your yoga practice is an important aspect to bring into your life. In our classes, we’re encouraging discussions to discover what it means to uphold these philosophies as 21st-century yogis. It’s all about bringing in new ideas to shift your mindset towards a more yogic way of thinking and, therefore, experience more joy and happiness in your life.

Ayurveda

In our Ayurveda module, we’re all about uncovering the connection between how you live and how you feel. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of your unique dosha, learn to recognize others’, and discover how to align your life accordingly. We’ll explore your diet and daily habits, integrating them seamlessly with your spiritual journey. Plus, we’ll dive into how different yoga poses can affect what’s going on inside your body. It’s like connecting the dots between your lifestyle and your well-being, and we’re here to guide you through it all.

Advanced Yoga Workshops

It’s time to play! These advanced workshops are all about keeping things lively and fun while we aim to understand Vinyasa Flow postures and transitions. You will explore postures through a lens of traditional alignment mixed with functional movement. Here you discover how we move from posture to posture with the transference of weight, be present with mind-body-spirit, and find integrity to practice yoga on and off the mat. This is how we develop an intelligent practice.

Shoulder Stability – Supporting Yourself!
Happy Hips – Everybody Feels!
Ashtavakrasana and more…
Handstand – It’s all about the journey!
Backbending – Vulnerability & Transition
Myofascia Release – What keeps us stuck?

The workshops will include mini flows, yogi drills, mindful stretching, partner work and exploration, cuing tips, and playtime. This is also great knowledge that you can take with you back home and develop in your own workshops.

I loved my 300 hours Yoga Teacher Training. The course content & delivery was brilliant. I found the adjustments module very helpful. We learnt loads of anatomy which we then immediately put into practice in the advanced sequencing module. I also loved the workshops. The location was only 5-10 min walk away from the beach. Overall. a great experience. I would highly recommend the experience.

This was an extraordinary month of 300 hour Yoga Training in Goa. I was looking for a serene environment and close to the beach. The yoga resort sits amongst the beauty of countless palm trees, just a short walk from Patnem Beach. Julia Gavin, the lead trainer, is one of the most skilled, knowledgeable, and kind teachers I’ve ever trained with. I cannot recommend her enough!
