- What is Asana? Asana means pose or posture. What makes any physical posture a yogic posture? Many of the postures we perform in yoga are also performed in areas of motion that have no spiritual touch, such as dance or acrobatics. For a posture to be considered an asana, it must be performed differently than any other physical activity. It must be balanced, relaxed and performed out of quiet consciousness, with a connection to breath and deep awareness. An asana does not insist that your yoga pose be perfect. Quite the contrary—it insists that your approach to the practice is what counts (Sutra 2.46).
- Teaching vinyasa flow. Understanding the essence of yoga. What are the essential steps for sequencing and leading a successful yoga class? How can you open students to proper and intelligent work with the body? Depending on the needs, which postures to choose, which postures to give up, how to maintain a proper balance in the time frame for exercises, breathing, and meditation.

With the help of CGI (computer generated imagery), we created an in-depth learning experience about the anatomy of the human body and its relation to yoga poses.

2. What’s the difference between the 200-hour and 300-hour yoga teacher training?
The 200-hour training is the foundational course that certifies you to teach yoga as an RYT 200. The 300-hour is an advanced training for teachers who have already completed a 200-hour course. It builds on your skills with deeper study in anatomy, subtle body, sequencing, and philosophy, leading to the RYT 500 designation when combined.
3. Do I need to complete the 200-hour before enrolling in the 300-hour or 500-hour program?
Yes. The 300-hour course requires a 200-hour Yoga Alliance approved certification. If you choose the 500-hour option, you’ll begin with the 200-hour course and unlock the 300-hour once it's complete — all bundled at a discounted price.
