Sanskrit

Gain familiarity with key Sanskrit terms, chants, and posture names. Learn to pronounce and understand their meanings to honor the tradition and enhance your teaching vocabulary.

Develop a daily meditation and breathwork practice. Learn classical pranayama techniques and meditation methods that balance the nervous system, cultivate inner awareness, and support mental clarity.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga

Study the Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary Series and learn the Short Form with a focus on breath, bandhas, and drishti. Learn how this structured system builds discipline, strength, and mindfulness in practice.

Functional Anatomy & Physiology

Explore the body's systems through the lens of movement and yoga. Understand tension and compression, joint structure, muscle function, and energetic pathways to make your teaching safe, intelligent, and inclusive.

Asana, Alignment, & Assists
