Benefits of the One on One Approach:

This style of training is very flexible and personal, allowing the student to set their own schedule, hours and pace to acheiving certification. Also, the program is focused on the student creating their own Vinyasa (flow) yoga teaching program and Manual.

Program Components

The Core Program is based on a standard 200 hour teaching certification that takes most students between 3 to 6 months to complete, depending on their own personal  time availability and commitment. The course is based on Vanda Scaravelli's gentle hatha approach.

The curriculum consists of reading, practice and teaching time. The homework is pre set and is done on your own time. Through intense one on one time, the student learns the dynamics of all root poses as well as the benefits, cautions, modifications, prenatal aspects, restorative aspects, advanced techniques, verbal cueing and  hands on correcting.
