About our 200-hour Certification
We conveniently offer 3-month courses and 4-week intensive courses. And in 2012, we are offering a 1-month intensive in Costa Rica. You will learn to teach & embody Vinyasa Flow Yoga. This style of yoga aims at aligning and sequencing every element of the practice in a method we call “creativity bound by a framework of therapeutic intelligence.” Translation – have fun, let your muse out, but keep it safe and healing. We’ll dive into modern anatomy, physiology and kinesiology in a highly-experiential and often-times, eye-opening environment. Experience the subtle-body by moving prana or lifeforce and teaching deeply-transformative techniques. We don’t stop at the modern body, you’ll also learn about the subtle “energy”which includes chakras, nadis, koshas, vayus, pranayama (breathing exercises to “free lifeforce”), meditation, chanting, mudras, ayurveda basics and so much more.
