100 hours Ashtanga Training

Yoga Styles: Ashtanga Vinyasa

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga integrates three fundamental elements, known as the Tristhana – breath, asana (posture), and drishti (gaze). These components demand a high level of focus and concentration, which helps in clearing and calming the mind.

Ashtanga Yoga consists of six fixed series and is part of the Hatha Yoga system, with its roots in the ancient text, the Yoga Kurunta. It is the foundation of all vinyasa, power, and flow styles that are popular in the West today.

If you're interested in delving deeper into this vigorous Hatha Yoga practice, join us for our 100-hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in Bali.

This course is embedded in the YACEP program of Yoga Alliance and you can add the 100 hours of this course to your continuous education hours.

We genuinely value direct bookings with us as they help us provide you with the best possible experience.

What is Ujjayi breath and why is it important? What is the difference between Ashtanga Vinyasa and Vinyasa Yoga? How and when do you engage the bandhas? Only three questions we are going to answer in our Ashtanga course. This course consists of practice and theory modules to give you a deeper understanding of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system. We are trying to provide you the best Ashtanga Yoga course in Bali and hope you will trust us to guide you on your Ashtanga Vinyasa journey!

In our Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training, we will engage in daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga, encompassing both Mysore style and led classes. 

The Mysore style allows for individualized instruction, enabling practitioners to progress at their own pace while receiving personalized adjustments and guidance from the teacher. This self-paced practice fosters a deeper connection to the asanas and encourages self-discipline and independence. 

Led classes, on the other hand, provide a synchronized group experience, where practitioners follow the teacher's cues, increasing collective energy and rhythm. 

These sessions help refine alignment and ensure a comprehensive understanding of the sequence. Both styles complement each other, offering a balanced approach that enhances flexibility, strength, and mental clarity, while also cultivating a dedicated and mindful practice.

In our Ashtanga training we will introduce you to both teaching styles – Led classes and Mysore style. You will learn

To learn more about the foundation of Hatha Yoga, from where all asana-based Yoga practices emerged from we focus on the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Gheranda Samhita.

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika is one of the oldest and most influential texts on Hatha Yoga. Written by Swami Swatmarama in the 15th century, it is a comprehensive guide to the physical and spiritual practices of Hatha Yoga. The text is divided into four chapters, covering asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), mudras (gestures), and bandhas (energy locks), as well as meditation and samadhi (state of oneness).

The Gheranda Samhita is another seminal text on Hatha Yoga, attributed to the sage Gheranda and dating back to the 17th century. This text is structured as a dialogue between Gheranda and his disciple, Chandakapali, and it provides a detailed, seven-step path to yogic purification and self-mastery known as Sapta Sadhana.
