Module 1: 200 Hour. This introductory module is geared towards the development of a thorough understanding of how to use the body safely. We thoroughly investigate the principle postures that would be taught at a beginner to an intermediate level (which includes sirsasana and sarvangasana). We also incorporate daily meditation and basic pranayama practices. Students get an opportunity to find their voice and express themselves using the tools of yogic practice.
Module 2: 300 hour. Here we take most aspects covered in the 200 much further. It is not just more of the same. Our focus shifts more towards pranayama, meditation and how to more effectively direct what you learn towards a specific goal. Our intent is the cultivation of energy as a preparation for deep and meaningful exploration of a various meditation and breathing techniques.

You don’t need to bring all of them with you to the training. We’ll send you specific instructions for what sections to read before you come to Bali. The content of the books will be covered in detail during the training. Afterward, you’ll be required to read the books more closely in order to write essays on your chosen topics.

A big thank you for the inspiration, kindness, professionalism, but especially just for who you are.” -Melanie, NL
