Introduction of Patanjali Yoga Sutras
All seminars include enough lecture to create a conceptual context, and multiple daily practices to help integrate the theory into personal experience.
This longer format is designed to set the stage for students to generate a deeper, more sensitized understanding of exploring yoga for well-being. The 8 month format allows time for practice and integration, so that students are ready for the next wave of learning and can most fully benefit from Mirka’s inspired teaching.
The 200 hour Viniyoga Wellness Instructor Training is an opportunity to develop a deeper relationship to your own personal practice and inspire others through teaching in the time-honored and authentic tradition of Viniyoga as transmitted by Gary Kraftsow and the American Viniyoga Institute through his senior teachers. The 200 hour Viniyoga Wellness Instructor Program meets Yoga Alliance’s Registered Yoga School 200-hour registration requirements for yoga teachers.
MIRKA ON TEACHING
As a teacher, I have a new quality, a kinder approach, more nurturing and calm, mainly because of your pranayama; using, understanding and coping with the breathing, for the first time in my practice. In all these years, I actually enjoyed the breathing and found I loved exhaling and holding the pause. The in breath and retaining are actually more frightening! What a revelation!
