A Different Approach to Yoga Teacher Training
At Ashtanga Cyril Yoga Institute, teacher training is built around consistent practice, direct instruction, personal discipline and practical teaching experience.
The programme combines intensive in-person training with a longer period of structured learning and application. The aim is to help students develop beyond memorising postures and towards a deeper understanding of yoga practice, alignment, teaching methods and responsible instruction.
Whether you are an experienced practitioner or beginning your journey towards teaching, your entry level and individual learning needs will be discussed before your training begins.
