Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga
Intensive Teacher Training

with Gerald Disse & Linda Munro
July 1 – 26, 2024

200-HOUR TEACHER TRAINING,
SELF-DEVELOPMENT & DEEPENING YOUR PERSONAL PRACTICE


We have developed a special program for those interested in becoming yoga teachers or deepening their personal interest and knowledge of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga.

We are very excited to be offering this since 2008, in support of guiding students to cultivate their inner growth and self development through a committed practice and self reflection and then using this inner guide to share their knowledge with others.

A bonus to your learning: you will have 6 months access to the online videos of all the topics we cover during the 4-week intensive. An amazing tool to refresh your memory or update your notes once the training is complete!

This teaching intensive will offer a comprehensive overview of Ashtanga Yoga personally guided by Gerald Disse and Linda Munro.

The training is recognized internationally. Every year there are people from all corners of the world coming together to share and go deeper in their mutual passion for yoga in this beautiful city, Paris. We also have a 300-hour intermediate training.

The 200+ hour training is based on the Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary series, which gives a solid base to any dynamic asana practice since most forms of contemporary flowing yoga styles have evolved out of Ashtanga.

We go over every asana in strict detail; discovering the basic movements which are universal alignment techniques one can apply to all the Ashtanga series, exploring different ways to modify each position with and without props, learning the contraindications for each asana and alternatives to achieve a similar outcome, how to do hands-on adjustments and especially exploring the anatomical understanding to keep each yoga student safe in the poses to encourage a life time practice.

In addition, what is unique in our training is that all the practitioners will finish the training with a solid kriya and pranayama practice. Every morning we add on to the pre-asana practices so that these highly effective and deep practices are taught correctly and safely. They appear subtle however, their subtleness is deceiving therefore, kriya and pranayama need to be taught with intelligence and awareness. Lastly, as the ‘real’ yoga is beyond the physical aspect there is a great emphasis put on yogic philosophy and daily living to ensure that we all remember to put in that “1% theory” and apply it to all aspects of our lives; on and off the yoga mat and meditation cushion!
