Take your Yoga practice and teaching skills to the next level with the Advanced Integral Yoga Hatha Teacher Training course.

The Advanced Integral Yoga Hatha Teacher Training enables you to expand your teaching skills by learning how to instruct advanced classes and finding ways to take simple, basic asanas to a deeper and more subtle level—this is what truly makes a practice “advanced.”

Topics covered in this training include:

• Advanced asanas (postures) and variations, including inversions and arm balancing poses
• Advanced study, theory, and practice of pranayama (breathing exercises), as well as bandhas (body locks) and kriyas (cleansing practices)
• Guidance on how to safely introduce advanced practices
• Additional study and immersion in Raja Yoga
• Study and guidance on how to integrate koshas (layers of the Self), Patanjali’s Ashtanga (Eight Limbs of Yoga), and meditation into your teaching and personal practice

There will be time to share experiences and new ideas and to address challenges that you may have encountered in teaching or in your personal practice. In Yogaville’s peaceful, supportive environment, you will further your own growth by deeply exploring the science of Yoga.

Testimonials

The Advanced Teacher Training at Yogaville, with Swami Asokananda and Leticia Padmasri enhanced My Yoga practice, my teaching, and my life in many ways. As a seeker, this training inspired and re-energized my practice. The instructors embody years of study and regular practice. They both live what they teach in an authentic, humble manner. They are gifted at sharing their wisdom and insights in concrete, practical ways. They made the subtle, deep, and profound aspects of an advanced practice accessible and attainable for us. The training is rigorous mentally and physically, but the reward is well worth the effort; the confidence and ability to offer the advanced Integral Yoga class, and a path toward continued personal growth. I’m so grateful for the experience. — Krishna Tim Howeth

Graduating from ATT was the most rewarding and heart opening experience. When you have teachers as wise and knowledgeable as Swami Asokananda and Leticia Padmasri there nothing else to wish for. They share a great source of education for yoga teachers. The training has an absolutely satisfying curriculum and most importantly great support on the individual level. To me, this was a complete training, couldn’t be more grateful for such an opportunity. — Malati Kurashvili
