Asha Yoga 200-Hour Teacher Training: A Chakra-Based Immersive Experience

Deepen your practice and empower others with Asha Yoga’s uniquely crafted 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training. Set over the course of 10 weekends, this transformative program is designed for both aspiring yoga instructors and dedicated practitioners eager to delve deeper into their journey. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of the chakras, each module of the training unfolds in alignment with one of the seven main energy centers of the body, ensuring a holistic approach that bridges physical practice, emotional awareness, and spiritual growth.

Program Highlights:

• Chakra-Centric Learning: Each weekend focuses on one of the primary chakras, exploring its physical, emotional, and energetic attributes. This structured approach enables trainees to understand and embody the subtle body system, enhancing personal practice and teaching with deeper insight.

• Yoga Philosophy and History: Dive into the foundations of yoga’s philosophy, from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and the Eight Limbs of Yoga to the timeless teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. Explore how these ancient texts can be integrated into modern life and teaching practices.

• Comprehensive Asana Study: Experience intensive practice and study of asanas, with a focus on alignment, modifications, and the energetic quality associated with each chakra. Trainees will build confidence in understanding when to demo, effective cueing, and teaching to different body types and abilities.

• In-Depth Anatomy and Physiology: Learn to navigate the body with knowledge of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, tailored to the chakra of focus each weekend. Practical anatomy sessions support safe practice and teaching, with added emphasis on preventing injury and adapting poses for varying needs.

• Pranayama and Breathwork: Harness the power of breath to support each chakra’s unique qualities. Learn various pranayama techniques, from grounding breath practices to energizing ones, all connected to specific chakras for targeted benefits.

• Meditation and Mindfulness: Develop the ability to guide mindfulness and meditation practices, incorporating chakra-focused visualizations and mantras. Techniques taught include loving-kindness meditation, mindfulness practices, and chakra-specific meditative approaches to deepen awareness and inner connection.

• Teaching Methodology: Build a foundation for becoming a confident yoga teacher with skills in voice modulation, sequencing, and hands-on adjustments. Explore the art of class planning and practice teaching with peer feedback. Trainees will also learn how to integrate yoga philosophy, like the Yamas and Niyamas, into classes and personal practice.

• Ethics and Professionalism: Understand the ethical framework of yoga, emphasizing the responsibilities and boundaries essential for teachers. Learn the importance of nurturing a healthy student-teacher relationship and the ongoing self-care vital for teaching longevity.

• Workshops and Special Sessions: Engage in specialized workshops like “Sound Meditation,” which highlights the connection between voice and the Throat Chakra, and “Heart Chakra Anatomy” sessions that merge physical and emotional awareness for an integrative learning experience.

• Community and Connection: Participate in a supportive learning environment that fosters deep connections. This community aspect allows for collaborative learning and growth, strengthening your network of peers and mentors beyond the training.
