Six Month Online
Ashtanga Practitioner’s Intensive
Immersive modules with Tim Feldmann, Kino MacGregor and other special friends.
Directed by Joseph Armstrong.
May to November 2024 Online only
A detailed education and yogic training for teachers and established practitioners. This course is our most in depth offering.
It is a modular learning experience that integrates digital learning with the experience, tradition, personal attention, and the master level Ashtanga methodology perfected by the MLC family the past 20 years.
The Training / The Path
You will join a comprehensive program aimed at deepening your understanding and ability to teach of Ashtanga Yoga. Over this course you will have the opportunity to re-set your foundation in the practice and refine your established yoga teaching methodology further.
This modular program is an intensive Ashtanga learning experience. You will be immersed in daily practice of asana, sitting and yogic breathing as Tapas is essential to any personal growth on the yogic path as well as workshops on anatomy, technique and adjustments and vinyasa counts. After the first full immersive month we will offer a series of 1-week workshops and seminars on key philosophy, business development and social justice. You will complete this course prepared to bring a refreshing depth to this ancient path.
MLC presents a roster of special teachers who all dedicate their lives to the spiritual practice of yoga. Through their guidance, you will learn the technical foundation for key asanas of the Primary and Second Series in their original context, inclusive the Vinyasa counts. You will learn how to practice and instruct basic mindfulness and meditation, modify the practice for accessibility and therapeutics and much more. Our intention is to provide you with an education that supplements your existing body of yoga knowledge - not with a formal Ashtanga certification. Only Sharath Jois’ Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India, can grant you an official certification or authorization to teach Ashtanga Yoga. This course does fulfill and surpass the 300 hour requirement for Yoga Alliance listing credentials.
We will take a particular focus on how to make this formidable practice accessible to all by learning applied anatomy, modified ways to present Ashtanga gently, yoga therapeutics and injury prevention. You will develop trauma-informed skills, heighten your awareness of inclusivity, and be equipped to meet the student where they are.
What Will I Learn?
On completion of this program, you will be established in daily practice and teaching with a tangible understanding of the technical foundations of the principle postures of the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series. You will learn how to practice and teach classic yogic breathing techniques and meditation and mindfulness. You will be proficient in the traditional method of Sanskrit Vinyasa counting for select asanas. Completion of this course and successful testing of material is compliant with Yoga Alliance RYT 300-hr standards.
You will study classic Yoga Philosophy as per Patañjali and The Bhagavad Gita as well as other primary texts with some of the most respected teachers in the field. In short, you will learn how to truly honor yoga’s roots.
