Yoga Teacher Training with Ashtanga Vinyasa Instructor Caroline Klebl

The focus of this course is the practice and method of teaching the Primary Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. The Primary Series includes over 70 asanas(postures), linked sequentially by Vinyasa(breath-initatied movements between the asanas). The course begins with detailed instruction in the practice of the Primary Series and then continues with a morning Mysore style or Led Primary Series class for the remainder of the course. The Intermediate Series is taught on an individual basis to those students who have completed the postures of the Primary Series.

The ability to give adjustments and to assist students in deepening their postures and practice is developed throughout the course. The Sanskrit names of the postures are introduced and how to teach an Ashtanga Yoga Led class effectively is evaluated in detail. The benefits of the specific sequencing and the principles of Vinyasa(the movements between postures), Ujjayi Pranayama(the sound induced breath), Drishti(the gaze) and Bandhas(the three locks or seals) are included as essential elements of the practice and teaching of Ashtanga Yoga.
