HATHA YOGA
Hatha Yoga is the very origin of Yoga. The teaching of yoga postures, Hatha Yoga style, is demanding because the postures are kept longer from 9 to 12 breaths. It is not a slow nor gentler practice unlike what we can read, in order to differentiate it from other styles of yoga. The postures are the same as those visited during a “vinyasa” practice. We must also understand the importance of the term vinyasa which is nothing other than the movement combined with breathing. Therefore Vinyasa is found in the practice of Hatha Yoga, because there is a number of breaths to follow to get in and out of a yoga posture.
This training will allow the student to be able to understand and differentiate between the different styles of yoga, and to teach yoga postures (asanas), in the manner of Hatha Yoga. As the sessions progress, the students will no longer be guided in their practices in order to create independence, this to bring them towards a verbal teaching, including direct and effective instructions.
YIN YOGA
“ Yin Yoga is simple, but simple does not mean easy . »Bernie Clark
Yin Yoga is a practice stemming from Taoist Yoga, which focuses on long-term passive stretching, combined with slow, deep breathing.
Yin Yoga was made popular by the American Paul Grilley, a former practitioner of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. It is a style of yoga that can be described as therapeutic. The postures are done with the help of cushion, straps and bricks to allow the practitioner a deep and comfortable relaxation. Yin Yoga is a gentle practice complementary to Yang practices such as Hatha or Vinyasa.
It aims to work in depth at the level of connective tissues (such as fascias, ligaments, tendons …) while applying the know-how of traditional Chinese medicine with precise work on the meridians.
This training will give students the opportunity to be able to teach this practice in a safe way with a framework and an understanding of the body from an anatomical point of view.
ANATOMY & PRANAYAMAS
The anatomy will include the different parts of the body and will be based on the work of meridians, using a holistic approach.
The practice of pranayamas or yogic breathing exercises is intrinsically connected to the organs of the human body.
This training will allow the student to understand the basic principles of the functioning of the human body, through different practices and theoretical courses. It is important to note that yoga teachers are not therapists, therefore they are not empowered to give diagnoses.

Yoga Philosophy
Yoga philosophy is an integral part of yoga practice.

Pranayama
Benefits of asana practice will be minimized without regular practice of pranayama. Daily pranayama session should be included in the regular practice of Yoga. ‘Prana’ is the Universal Life Force Energy and ‘Ayama’ means Balancing, Controlling and Expanding of the vital energy. During 200 hours Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course, we will discuss the philosophy of Pranayama and it’s application. Eight major pranayamas will be examined and practiced in depth. Students will learn correct methods of practice and teaching of Pranayama from beginner to advance level with contraindications and benefits. In the beginner level of practice, regulation and duration of the breath will be focused. In intermediate level, Kumbhakas(Retention of the breath) will be practiced. In advance level, Bandhas(Muscular locks) will be adopted with retention of the breath. Students will experience important Pranayamas such as Vibhagiya Pranayama, Viloma, Bhastrika, Nadishudhi, Ujjayi, Bharamari, Shetali, Shatakri and Sadanata Pranayamas.
Kriya- Yogic Cleansing Techniques
Because of our hectic lifestyle we accumulate lot of physical, mental and emotional toxins. Yogic kriyas are really helpful to remove gross and subtle toxins. Our Physical and Mental bodies are interlinked. If either one will become unstable which will create impact on another. Practice of Yogic cleansing techniques will be helpful to purify our gross and subtle bodies. Purification will make body lighter, which will be helpful for asana practice. During the course students will gain theoretical and practical knowledge of important Kriyas. TTC students will learn all six major kriyas theoretically such as Kapalabhati, Trataka, Neti, Dhouti, Nouli and Basti.
Asana Adjustment
Each yoga posture has it’s own structure and principles of practicing in methodical order. Improper way of practicing any asana as a practitioner or correcting an asana as a teacher may bring injury to the body. Each body is different from other and it’s teacher’s responsibility to understand the need of adjustment accordingly. During the yoga course student will learn and understand the correct method of posture adjustments from beginner to advance level. Lead teacher will be guiding and assisting each student to learn hand placement, pressure and movements to adjusting different postures. There are different category of the asanas such as Standing, Sitting, Arm balance, Closing series. Students will explore different techniques corrections of many asanas in each category.
