As per Yoga Alliance standards, 40 hours are delivered online on Moksha Yoga's website in the members' area. These lessons and lectures are to be completed at your own pace before arrival.
Moksha Yoga Amazónica prepares you to become a yoga teacher specialized in Vinyasa Flow and Yin yoga. This combines the energetic flowing movements of Vinyasa with the stillness of Yin yoga.
This training is composed of theoretical and practical knowledge presented in an interactive and experiential way in order for you to become confident in leading mixed-level safe and creative classes to the public, all while gaining tools to deepen your personal yoga practice and advance to the next level. You will learn all this in the idyllic location that is the Amazon rainforest and jungle of Moyobamba, surrounded by nature, flowers, and wildlife.
The teaching team focuses on forming yoga teachers who teach more than simply asanas to their students, but who also and live a life that is consistent with yogic values, off-the-mat.
The Sanskrit word ‘Hatha’ means force and alludes to a system of physical techniques comprised of asanas, pranayama, kriyas, mudras, and meditation. As such, Hatha yoga is actually an umbrella term for most types of yoga teaching physical postures, meaning nearly every yoga style is Hatha yoga. With ‘Ha’ meaning the sun and ‘tha’ the moon, this practice aims to balance these two energies, bringing peace to the mind and body, to prepare the body for deeper spiritual practices like meditation. As ancient asanas were not merely postures but instead mudras, they were intended to seal and channel prana within the body.
Hatha yoga asana practice is relatively gentle, slow, and characterized by longer static posture holds than most other styles. In spite of this, however, the practice can still be physically and mentally challenging. Classes will typically start with a gentle warm-up and then progress to more physically challenging postures.
During this training, you will learn the Hatha yoga Pawanmukta Series (a warm-up that connects breath to movement, awakens your muscles and joints, and opens up your body) and foundational asanas such as serpent, eagle, bow, cow face, crocodile, fish, lion, camel, the warriors, and many more.
The Sanskrit word ‘Vinyasa’ translates as “to place in a special way”, and Vinyasa yoga is thus characterized by fluidly stringing asana postures together, with each movement synchronized with the breath. Vinyasa yoga is a vigorous and movement-intensive style based on continuous flow from one asana to the next and offers a wide variety of postures which means that, unlike the rigidity of Ashtanga yoga sequences, no two Vinyasa classes are ever alike. Faster-paced than Hatha yoga, Vinyasa yoga classes involve progressively increasing body heat - and sweat - and building strength. It teaches us to cultivate an awareness that links each action to the next, both on the mat and in our lives.
During this training, you will learn Vinyasa yoga methods to assess the needs of individual students or groups, and then build a complimentary, step-by-step practice to meet those needs. In addition to the postures you will learn during Hatha yoga classes (many of which transpose in Vinyasa), you will practice Ashtanga sun salutations A and B, plank pose, four-limbed staff pose, cat-cow stretches, side plank, cobra, grasshopper, as well as many other and more advanced asanas such as arm balances, headstands, inversions, and handstands techniques.
The instructors are always present during classes and practice, observing and making recommendations for pose modifications and adjustments into proper alignment. You will learn the fundamentals of yoga, its philosophies and ethics, and how to deepen not only your physical but also mental, spiritual and emotional practice. There will be observations and feedback on your personal practice and practicums by the lead trainers so that you learn areas of improvement specific to you.
The physical component of this training consists of morning kriya cleansing techniques, two asana postural practices and two meditations daily, a daily body-alignment practicum where you will learn hands-on adjustments, pose modifications and verbal cueing, and special clinics on arm balances and headstands. You will learn proper hand placement and weight distribution for foundational postures so that you develop good habits to avoid injuries and find more ease of movement and balance as you progress towards more advanced postures.
You will also learn proper sitting positions to activate your root chakra during meditation, and exercises you can practice to make sitting for long periods of time not painful but instead enjoyable. You will take part in peer-to-peer class observations and assisting others during their practicums in addition to teaching your own classes so that when you complete the training you have advanced your practice to a much higher level and can apply both the theoretical and practical knowledge to your personal practice and teaching.
The theoretical component of this training covers both traditional Indian yogic knowledge on shatkarma and pranayama’s effects on the body, a study of yoga philosophy through discussing ancient Vedic texts, a study of Ayurveda and nutrition, the aims and effects of deep breathing and meditation, and a study of the subtle body, but also modern anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics.
This 200-hour yoga teacher training program incorporates training hours in the following educational categories and topics:
Themed workshops will cover a wide range of key asanas and body parts, such as standing, balancing, and seated postures, forward bend, back-bends, hip openers, downward-facing dog, chair, the moons, the warriors, hip openers, twists, inversions, headstands, handstands, wrists health and conditioning, and core strengthening.
Constructive feedback about your teaching will be given by both fellow students and trainers to allow you to hear students’ perspectives, improve your technique and cueing, and find your unique voice and style as a teacher. Some of the things you will learn and practice include:
Shatkarma is the Sanskrit term for the yogic purification techniques (kriyas) of the body as outlined in the "Hatha Yoga Pradipika." The purpose of these cleansing techniques is to keep the body clean and healthy and to prepare for the main work of yoga towards moksha, or liberation. Shatkarmas are said to remove toxins and impurities blocking the flow of prana in the body, making pranayama and meditation practice easier. Some of the Shatkarma techniques you will learn and practice include:
As breath is linked to energy flow, moods and even longevity, breathing theory and practice will be studied in various classes, from pranayama, meditation, asana, anatomy, philosophy, and workshops. You will learn the different types of prana, breathing, and techniques to cool or warm the body and calm the mind, and practice the following:
You will learn foundational mudras and their applications, such as various hand, but also head, postural, and perennial mudras. You will also learn and practice the 4 main bandhas energy locks: throat lock, root lock, abdominal lock, and great lock.
Through the study of ancient Vedic texts and open discussion, philosophy classes will touch on many important and interesting points that deal with human existence and how the practice of yoga can help us reach higher states of consciousness and happiness.
You will learn about the ancestral trilogy of yoga: Bhakti or the yoga of devotion, Karma or the yoga of selflessly performing actions and service without expecting anything in return, and of Jnana yoga, an analytical self-inquiry into one’s own true nature through self-observation and conscious attention. You will discuss how to experientially apply these principles to your yoga teacher training experience together, as well as beyond in your daily lives. Some of the other topics you will learn about include:
Classes will cover both physical anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics such as bodily systems, organs, muscle groups, and the major joints, but also subtle body anatomy such as the chakras, nadis, and koshas. This includes both the study of the subjects and the application of their principles to yoga practice, such as benefits or contraindications. Some additional topics to be covered include:
In order for you to gain the tools necessary to succeed in your yoga teaching career, you will learn about the various avenues you can take in your teaching journey, from studio employee to freelancer, organizing workshops and retreats, as well as how to market yourself or your studio. Some of the topics to be covered include:
Because feedback is essential for growth, as part of your professional development you will receive a one-on-one mentorship session with an instructor, which will serve both as an opportunity for you to ask questions or voice any concerns you may have, while the instructor will compassionately share feedback from his or her observations thus far. Through constructive conversation, you will be assigned an action item for growth.
You will take part in a class on yoga Nidra methods as well as a practicum so that you can both learn the theory behind reaching this deepest state of relaxation while maintaining full consciousness and also experience it for yourself.
We live in a vibratory universe where everything we sense, feel, see and touch is pure energy, or particles of energy vibrating. As such, the basic principle of sound healing is this concept of resonance of vibratory frequencies of objects, which includes human beings. If we are not resonating with some part of ourselves or our surroundings, we become dissonant and without harmony, which can create illness.
Although healing with sound is believed to date back to ancient Greece, recent research has linked music to a number of health benefits, from boosting immune function and lowering stress levels to improving your body’s functions such as blood pressure, and even breathing. Sound is measured in terms of Frequency of Hertz (Hz), and sound therapy is the application of healing frequencies to the physical and subtle energy fields around the body.
During this training, you will take part in sound therapy/healing sessions, witnessing a variety of Indian, Tibetan, and Andean instruments and tools such as tuning forks, singing bowls, ocean drums, rain, and thunder-making instruments, koshi bells, hangdrums, native double octave flutes, chanting, and more.
Traveling through the sea of life our bodies gather barnacles of conditioning through diverse experiences. These ‘barnacles’ are subconscious areas of tension that house our history of emotions, such as defenses and vulnerabilities. Through Ayurvedic massages, you will learn to read an individual’s body map of aches, pains, and bumps, fully aware that every touch evokes certain emotions, and gently facilitate the ‘letting-go’ of unresolved wounds. Just as a machine needs to be oiled, the body loves to have its largest organ, the skin, soothed, which is why oils are commonly used in Ayurvedic massages.
The purpose is to train qualified yoga teachers whose practice, discipline, and personal knowledge inspire their students in an extraordinary way. As such, they train instructors who integrate the classical practices of yoga: asanas, study yoga (Jnana), yoga of action (Karma), yoga of meditation (Raja) and yoga of devotion (Bhakti). Upon graduating, you will feel ready and confident to lead safe and inspired Vinyasa and Yin yoga classes, while maximizing the use of props, pose variations and modifications, and contraindications towards creating progressively challenging classes.
Come feel the music on this sacred journey into ancient arts and explore the divine intricacies of yoga in its many forms, combining science with the path of the heart and cultivating self-love and happiness in a teacher training deeply devoted to spiritual growth. You will deepen your ability to be centered, present in life, and engaged with the world so that you can better spread mindful movement and inspire wellness through your love of sharing yoga. They look forward to welcoming you as part of our community.
Keeping true to making this yoga teacher training experiential and not confined to a classroom, you will take part in the following excursions:
You will teach yoga asanas to disadvantaged children, plant trees to reforest areas where endangered animal and bird species live, paint houses or murals to gentrify poor neighborhoods, and/or conduct river beach clean-ups to help the environment.
