The System and Yoga Training

Yoga ah 200 hour training is the foundation for more advanced teachers training offered in our Rocket 500 hour program. Yoga ah is one of the only schools in the country that offers a beginners to advanced training in the Rocket developed by the late Larry Schultz.

Larry, created a system of practice based on a 6 day per week practice schedule that targets different body parts through out the week. This was the inspiration for what Larry would fondly call it "the system". The Rocket is part of a system that offers a wholistic approach to practicing Ashtanga and vinyasa yoga.

Yoga ah offers "the system", in Yoga ah teachers training you will study "the system". One of the first routines that you will study is called MDR or Minimum Daily Requirements which consisits of sun saluatations from Ashtanga yoga and mediatation practice. Then you will begin studying Primary series from Ashtanga yoga, from studying Primary Series you will learn to instruct a modified version that consisits of 34 poses. As part of the system you will also learn Bottle Rocket sequencing which is the foundation for Rocket sequences.

Our teachers training will give you the tools to develop a stronger home practice as well give you different routines that you will be able to teach after graduation.

 

 

Often people walk into It’s Yoga with worry, stress and tiredness written all over their faces but when they leave, they show the effects of Ashtanga Yoga: they feel better and look better, lighter, freer, more relaxed and energized. This is why to me, teaching Ashtanga Yoga is a kind of self-realization; every time I lead class I, as a teacher, grow and express the insights of my own yoga. I see people take in the practice from various angles and develop, change and transcend their limitations, realize their possibilities.
