“A training that feels real”
Learn by actually teaching! Gain real experience working with real students solving real challenges, refining your voice, and growing your confidence through practice. No one gets bored!
MODERN TRADITION
Grounded in the roots of Ashtanga Yoga, evolved for the needs of today. We honor lineage while teaching with fresh, intelligent methods.
Skills That Stick for Life
This training sharpens your ability to listen to your body, breathe with awareness, and observe your inner patterns. These tools don’t just improve your yoga… they support better choices, clearer focus, and a deeper sense of well-being
LEARN TO TEACH YOGA TO ALL TYPES OF STUDENTS
This program is taught under Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga School which is rooted in traditional Ashtanga Yoga and has been a pioneer in making Ashtanga accessible to all bodies since the 1990s.
After training with us, you'll help dispel myths that the practice is only for athletic and flexible individuals. This approach emphasizes inclusivity for students of all backgrounds and abilities.

A 200-Hour Training Rooted in Practice
This is not just another training built on dogma or idolizing teachers… it’s built on the mat, through practice, teaching, and honest self-inquiry. You’ll study both the Ashtanga Primary Series and Rocket Basic Series, not as rigid systems, but as tools to help you understand your body, your breath, and your potential as both practitioner and teacher.
We prioritize the practitioner empowering you to explore yoga as a personal journey rather than a set routine. With a clear and modern foundation in functional anatomy, our curriculum supports sustainable movement, safe progression, and practical understanding.
Together we aim to:
Build independence in your practice
Cultivate discipline and confidence
Develop a realistic, inclusive narrative of what yoga is and who it’s for
Invest in a long-term, sustainable relationship with your body and your path
This is yoga education for the real world and for real people who want to grow, teach, and evolve.

We’ll help you with:
How to position yourself with clarity and confidence
How to price and offer your first classes
Sustainable teaching models for both in-person and digital spaces
How to avoid burnout and keep your love for teaching alive
