300-HR VINYASA FLOW ADVANCED YTTC
OVERVIEW
Our 300-hour Vinyasa Flow Advanced Yoga Teacher Training course is an intensive program designed to deepen your already existing knowledge and foundations of yoga. The primary focus of this course is on sequencing Vinyasa Flow style yoga classes. Major attention is given to the principles, technical aspects, and structural components of a Vinyasa Flow class. Much of your time will be spent on expanding your knowledge of asanas while paying attention to the key alignments and anatomical structures in order to deepen your own practice as well as learning how to teach others safely. In addition, you will gain in-depth knowledge of pranayama, meditation and philosophy.

THE CURRICULUM
This course places major emphasis on Vinyasa yoga practice, and Vinyasa Flow sequencing principles. The philosophy section will cover introduction and history of yoga, Upanishads and Darshanas with more emphasis on Bhagavad Gita. You will study and practice pranayama, neurophysiology of meditation, chakras, mantras and tantric meditation, use of mudras and bandhas in meditation and yoga Nidra. The anatomical highlight will be on revising the human body systems, and studying some common health conditions.
During the in-person course, we will have open and interactive philosophy classes where you are free to ask questions related to spirituality, meditation or any other enquiry related to the content learned in the pre-recorded classes.
All these topics are studied in the online course using pre-recorded lectures, manual, exercises and review questions. During the in-person anatomy workshops, you will clarify doubts with your teacher, work with classmates, and practice to understand the anatomical principles of asanas.
