Ashtanga Yoga - a challenging Yoga practice.
This advanced training course focuses on teaching traditional Ashtanga Yoga on an individual "one-on-one" basis within a group setting (Mysore style). The aim is to deliver a Yoga practice that corresponds individually to each student. It is the best method to ensure that everyone learns Ashtanga Yoga in a safe way, regardless of age and previous knowledge. This way of teaching requires a reliable and sound knowledge of Ashtanga Yoga, human Anatomy and Physiology, verbal and nonverbal guidance and support of students, as well as a profound analysis and understanding of Yoga itself with all its aspects.
One of the key aspects will be to learn how to give safe and helpful adjustments as well as how to "read" the body. The anatomy class will support us in gaining a better understanding of the movement mechanisms and the movement abilities of the body. It will focus on the functional anatomy and the teaching will cover both theoretical as well as practical approaches. Particular attention will be paid to "Living Anatomy". Feeling the structures on a living body will establish a connection to its practical relevance and hence provide a firm basis of the adjustment training.
The training focuses on: Yoga practice, Yoga technique, teaching methods, adjustment training, Anatomy, Living Anatomy, Physiology, Yoga philosophy, the history of Yoga in India, basic principles of a healthy and balanced diet, Ashtanga Yoga during pregnancy and after giving birth.
