13 Day 100-Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in Dharamshala, India
Yoga Teacher Training Course in Dharamshala
Vinyasa Yoga, also known as “vinyasa flow,” is a dynamic style where postures flow seamlessly from one to another, synchronised with breath. Unlike Ashtanga, which follows a fixed sequence, Vinyasa offers varied sequences in each class. The term “Vinyasa” means “to place in a special way,” reflecting the conscious movement and breath synchronisation that help balance the body and calm the mind. Vinyasa practice generates heat and can include a cardiovascular component. In your Vinyasa TTC, you’ll explore various class focuses (strength, balance, flexibility, etc.), learn sequencing and alignment, and practice Ujjayi breath. Expect to sweat, challenge yourself, and enjoy the process! The 100-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training is open to yoga teachers seeking to expand their skills, dedicated practitioners wishing to deepen their understanding, wellness professionals wanting to incorporate Vinyasa Yoga into their practices, and beginners eager to explore its benefits. This training is also suitable for those looking to refresh their knowledge and renew their practice.
