This is an eclectic program that draws and integrates the best elements several different yoga styles and lineages. Rather than training you to duplicate a specific system or style, we offer you an environment and resources to develop a solid foundation in the art and science of teaching yoga in a way that is designed for the student(s) in front of you in a class.

The official name of our school – Vinyasa Flow Yoga Teacher Training & In–Depth Studies Program – reflects our commitment to teaching in the literal sense of “vinyasa,” which means “to place in a special way.” We focus on learning to understand what is happening with the real students in front of you so that you can give them appropriate guidance. In doing so, we draw from multiple styles, including Ashtanga Vinyasa, Iyengar, Anusara, Yoga Therapy, Tantra and various innovative flow styles as well as yoga philosophy, traditional concepts of yoga energetics, and functional anatomy, bio-mechanics, and kinesiology.

As you explore this and other yoga teacher training programs, bear in mind that ALL forms of physical yoga, regardless of style, brand or lineage – are Hatha Yoga; Hatha is the umbrella over all the physical yogas, from Ashtanga and Bikram to Power and Svaroopa.

This program also encourages you to explore yoga in all its richness with the most open mind possible. Our approach is non–dogmatic, non-sectarian, and is not in any way part of a religion. We encourage you to think, to be creative, and to contribute to the ongoing creative evolution of yoga. If you are looking for a purist approach that treats yoga as a religion or tells you exactly how to do everything, this program is not for you. However, there are plenty of such guru/authority–oriented programs out there in the world!
