Ashtanga Yoga
The eight limbs of the Ashtanga Yoga primary series—yamas, niyamas, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, Dharana, dhyana, and samadhi—are the highlight of this multi-style yoga course. K. Pattabhi Jois developed a set of asanas known as Ashtanga yoga that feature stronger and longer stretches, deep breathing exercises, and techniques for stress management. The purpose of asana alignment sessions in the program is to correct your posture alignment for a deep impact.

Hatha yoga aims to build physical strength and a conscious relationship with the body. The name “Hatha” is a Sanskrit term that means “discipline of power.” Hatha Yoga is the foundation of yogasanas. We will constantly encourage you to infuse your teaching methods with creativity.
You will also have the chance to learn about Yin and restorative yoga as part of our 100 Hour Yoga TTC, which will enhance your experience and knowledge of other yoga practices and traditions.
