Our yoga

What is Hatha and Kundalini Yoga?

A powerful yoga

Our training in Hatha and Kundalini Yoga is not a “mélange” of two different styles. Both styles developed together from the rich tantric practice and are historically closely connected, even though they differ in name today.

In our original Hatha Yoga, we aim to discover the spiritual power inherent in all beings; this force of consciousness is Kundalini. Kundalini is understood as the key to personal growth on the individual level and social growth on the collective level. Kundalini is also the key to spiritual evolution according to the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.

Rich in Techniques

This is why the original Hatha Yoga uses a variety of breathing techniques such as Bhastrika and Kapalabhati. It is rich in mudras and dynamic exercises, but also understands the cultivation of the beauty of static postures.

When we teach Hatha and Kundalini Yoga, we teach exactly that: a system of integral yoga that draws on the richness of its sources, honors them and turns to them. Here we find a variety of techniques – sound yoga, mudras, breathing techniques and beautiful asanas in dynamic and static form.

Beautiful rich yoga

After completing this training, you will be able to create inspiring yoga classes for a variety of people: gentle series aimed at older people, dynamic practices for younger practitioners, beautiful static classes and sessions that explore meditation, sound and breath.

Our yoga conveys the living richness of traditions.

Curriculum

Four Modules in 200 Hours

The training is divided into four modules, which you complete during the 26-day intensive course in the Wachau.

Each of the four modules concludes with a simple self-reflection test.

1st Module – History and philosophy of Kundalini & Hatha Yoga

In the first module, we read the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita and the Ishavasya Upanishad and delve into the foundations of the philosophy of yoga. What is yoga, is the real question, and what does yoga mean for us today?

We look at how Hatha and Kundalini Yoga developed together from tantric practice and which spiritual and historical milestones were involved.

2nd Module – Yogic anatomy, chakras, koshas, prana, western anatomy

In this second module we discover the inner world of yoga, a world of vision and magic. We travel to the tantras and read the Sat Chakra Nirupana, we learn exercises to travel the inner worlds, discover sound as the goddess, the levels of individual perception of reality, the koshas, prana as the flow of life and also western anatomy.

3rd Module – Class organization, didactics, asana, kriya

In this third module we look at the art of teaching yoga, the design and structure of classes and the didactics embedded in them. We learn how a class can find a natural flow and how everyone can develop their talents in the expression of yoga.

We discover Pavanmuktasana, Sukshma Vyayam, 42 important asanas and kriyas.

4th Module – Bandha, Mudra, Pranayama, Meditation

In this fourth module we read the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Goraksha Shataka, both texts dealing with Kundalini Yoga and basic techniques such as bandha and mudra and the breathing techniques of yoga. We will also delve into meditation and in this context we will deal with the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra.

What is Special About This Training?

Highest quality

In our yoga teacher training course, it is important to us to impart content of the highest quality to our students. We immerse ourselves in the practice, but also in the rich theory of yoga. Competence in practice and personal spiritual growth are our goal. When our own practice is built on a foundation of insight and competence, we can evolve, articulate what we create and enrich the world around us.

The world needs courageous and inspirational teachers like you.

Our 200-hour yoga teacher training welcomes students from all over Europe and beyond.

Philosophy and history

Our program is based on a solid foundation of deep yoga practice, but unlike other trainings, we also delve into the philosophical and spiritual roots of yoga. During the training we explore the traditional texts of yoga, the tantras of Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga and the radiant heart that resides within them. We look forward to sharing these ancient secrets with you.

Our training follows the long tradition of yoga that goes back to Satyananda and the tantric lineage of Lakshmanjoo. We integrate the beauty and power of Hatha Yoga with the energy and passion of Kundalini Yoga. Ultimately, however, the core of our school is simply the heart, your most important teacher.

Our yoga teacher trainings are internationally oriented, with course materials and classes taught in English to connect people from all over the world and learn together. A basic knowledge of English is therefore an advantage, but we also support our students in German.
