What You Will Study

The training offers in-depth study across the major pillars of advanced yoga, including philosophy, asana, meditation, pranayama, Hatha yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, shatkarma, and human anatomy. Each subject is explored in greater detail so you can build on what you already know and teach with greater clarity and skill.

Asana and Alignment

At this level, practice becomes refinement. You’ll work with advanced Hatha Yoga balance and adjustment methods, along with deeper study of Ashtanga Vinyasa so you can teach safely and with precision.

Meditation and Mantra

Develop a steadier inner practice through mantra chanting, Om practice, Guru Vandana, and guided meditation techniques that support awareness and calm.

Pranayama

Study the pranic body and learn advanced breathwork techniques such as Nadishodhana, Sheetali, Sheetkari, Bramari, Ujjayi, Bhastrika, Kapalbhati, and Surya Bheda, along with the bandhas: Mula Bandha, Jalandhara Bandha, and Uddiyana Bandha.

Shatkarma and Anatomy

Learn traditional cleansing practices such as Agni Saar, Jal Neti, Rubber Neti, Sutra Neti, and Dand, while also studying bones, the skeleton, the circulatory system, heart blocks, and the role anatomy plays in safe yoga practice.
