Join us for this unique and transformative Training, with fully accredited and inspiring teachers, on beautiful yoga locations. This training will support your integrity, commitment, dedication and knowledge of Yoga.

You will commit yourself fully for 3 weeks (21 full days / 200+ yoga hrs) that will be divided according to this further themes:

Week 1: Silence and Purification

We start in a unique way - with mauna (silence). You will observe silence during first days, however, for any important query you can write it on paper and pass it to the teacher.
It is a way to go beyond the surface – beyond names and forms, social, cultural or psychological boundaries. You will receive teachings and practices silently, allowing yourself to let go of critical thinking, questions and other habits of the mind.
You will observe different patterns that may arise, and reach a deeper part of your self. Your teachers will support you in a silent way, and the teachings itself will empower you with strength to go deeper within the process of Yoga.

The Yoga program during this week will include different cleansing techniques (kriyas), and silent Ashtanga Yoga practice, special pranayamas, guided and silent meditation, related philosophy sessions and reading, and a special diet (pure, healthy and detoxing vegetarian food).

Week 2: Knowledge and wisdom

Knowledge is a fruit of learning, while wisdom is a fruit of practice. Your mind by now will already reach a certain clarity, and you will be ready for deeper learning and practice. Your immersion into meditation, pranayama, philosophy and strong Vinyasa practice, as well as time for practicing in groups, learning Yoga methodology and secrets of good teaching will inspire you toward your own creativity, wisdom and awareness.

Week 3: Synthesis and rejoice

This final week is all about playing with the knowledge and experience gained and developing intuition about teaching. You will be learning and teaching, conquering the field of known by now, and practicing until it seals. Creative and dynamic Vinyasa Flow movements, philosophical peaks, sound and mantras, therapeutic yoga and synthesis of all are the key subjects of the last and final week.
