Practice
Theory
Workshops
The training starts with a strong physical foundation, evolving into energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual practice. Key principles and rules of yoga are taught, allowing the teachers and dedicated practitioners to gain an in-depth understanding, knowledge, and insight into the methodology and the effects of yoga practice. The approach encourages integration with society in a modern context.
The teaching modules each represent a pillar of the Vikasa yoga method, mind, body, and energy. These three pillars, when taught together, create a well-rounded yoga education with an emphasis on the development of the individual. This unique curriculum has been tried and tested over the years, ever-evolving with lasting results. The approach is further defined by the five shells or layers known as “koshas” physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
They like to think of their curriculum as two “hands” of learning under two structural pillars of practice and theory. The branches of topics vary from asana and meditation through methodology and application. This method of learning has taken decades to refine and now provides a stable platform for learning on mental and physical levels.
