"This is by far one of the best trainings I have had the pleasure to take and highly recommend them for any level of student or teacher who is looking for scientific based spirituality in their yoga practice and teaching."

Immerse yourself in practice for 6 days of personal growth.

​Practice Week is a full week of intensive yoga practice and study. Each day consists of two physical/asana practices, including Intermediate and Advanced asana, Pranayama, Meditation and discussion.

​Discussions include philosophy, anatomy, physiology, history, theory, progressing your practice and developing a home practice. 
Our greatest progress comes from periods of immersive practice and study. It is these periods that give our everyday lives the inspiration they need to keep moving forward.

Practice Week is an opportunity to progress beyond the basics of beginning asana/postures, not only into more advanced asana but into deeper yogic practices of breath, energy and mind.

This is a time to deepen your personal relationship with the practices, focus on personal growth and integrate the exercises into your body and mind.

Because we expect many teachers to be present, we will cover some aspects of teaching this yoga. But this is NOT a teacher training.
