Transform your life and your practice with Kootenay Yoga School on beautiful Isla Mujeres. Our students will be supported in gaining the skills and confidence to lead meaningful classes, will find their own authentic practice, and will flourish in the community environment designed to be nurturing.
We do trainings the right way with small focused groups. Our intention is to bring your physical practice, knowledge and understanding to the next level.
Our carefully designed program will provide you with full understanding of YOGA as a science, presenting advanced HATHA and YANTRA yoga practices.
This 200hr training focuses on developing a strong personal practice. It focuses on implementing the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Mysore Style of practice, while incorporating Maty Ezraty's alignment concepts.
You will learn inspiring NEW ASANAS that are often completely missing from other styles of yoga. Both formats are complemented with a Meditation technique that can be traced back as far as to Buddha.
Our program is designed for dedicated practitioners who sincerely seek a solid know how.
Being familiar with the Mysore style of practice will be helpful but its not required to participate in the program. We ask that students arrive ready to learn, focus, and grow.
Our time during the training will be grounded in meditation and applying the philosophy and practice of yoga to our daily lives. Each student will have the opportunity to practice teaching small groups. This transformative 15-day intensive will open doors of perception and catalyze shifts in the way we relate to ourselves, each other and our yoga practice.
