Sampoorna Yoga Goa 100-hour Yoga Teacher Training course is based on the traditional Ashtanga Yoga system established by Sage Patanjali more than 3000 years ago. The asana part is mainly derived from the Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary series and Vinyasa Flow.
Sampoorna Yoga comprehensive curriculum covers asana practice, pranayama, meditation, and philosophy classes. Apart from the Modified Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series you will also practice Vinyasa Flow and some Yin Yoga classes (as a bonus!) Although we are traditional in our teachings but modern and unorthodox in our approach.
Sampoorna Yoga Goa strongly encourage you to bring your own creativity, intuition and spiritual experiences into your learning. We don’t follow any religion or dogma in our teachings.
