Get ready for a 5-day Advanced Yoga Teacher Training that’s anything but ordinary. This immersive experience invites you to roll up your sleeves and dive into the dynamic world of Vinyasa Krama Yoga.

Throughout the week, we’ll explore the art of hands-on assisting, study anatomy in motion, and break down yoga poses—from foundational shapes to more complex variations. Each part of the journey is designed to build confidence, skill, and clarity.

As teachers, we believe it’s not just about memorizing techniques. It’s about guiding an inner journey for your students. This module combines alignment principles with embodied wisdom, helping you become a more intuitive and impactful teacher.

By the end of this Advanced yoga teacher training, you’ll feel more confident in assisting, have a stronger grasp of functional anatomy, and deepen your understanding of yogic philosophy.

HERE’S WHAT’S ON THE SCHEDULE:

• Lots of Practice
  Embodiment begins with personal experience. This module is rooted in consistent self-practice and inspiration from the first two Mahavidyas—Kali and Tara.
• Anatomy
  We’ll explore biomechanics in a practical and accessible way. You’ll examine the relationship between pelvis and spine, and gain clear insight into muscle engagement and structural intelligence, guided by Ida Farneman, physiotherapist and yoga therapist.
• Asana Lab
  Together we’ll dissect poses, connect patterns, and uncover the subtle dance behind movement. By studying the three planes of motion, you’ll learn how to sequence poses with greater awareness and intention.
• Art of Assisting
  This is where technique meets intuition. We’ll refine your hands-on skills through work with common poses, transitions, inversions, props, and restorative variations. You’ll learn how to support your students with clarity, confidence, and care.
• Yogic Philosophy
  This module includes lectures and discussions on self-inquiry and the Mahavidyas, the ten great goddesses. We’ll reflect on dharma, reconnect with the Koshas, and explore how these teachings can influence both your practice and your life.

Take a moment to reflect on the power of your breath.
In this module, we explore the transformative effect of conscious breathing. You’ll examine how breath works, why it matters, and how it supports physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Through timeless pranayama techniques and a dedicated sadhana, you will be introduced to a variety of breathing practices. Each one is designed to help you create balance, focus, and presence both on and off the mat.

The module also includes a deeper look into breath physiology and modern breathwork approaches. You’ll gain clarity on their differences and how to apply both in your own practice and teaching.

In parallel, we begin studying Sanskrit. You’ll learn the basics of pronunciation and structure, building a stronger connection to the roots of the practice.

By the end of this module, you’ll be equipped to lead pranayama classes, design breathing-focused programs, and maintain a meaningful personal practice.

HERE’S WHAT’S ON THE SCHEDULE:

• Pranayama Sadhana
  You will practice twice a day. To prepare, a 21-day home sadhana will be provided before the module begins. It includes a mix of pranayama and breathwork exercises.

This four-day immersion is an invitation to explore the connection between body and mind. In this module, we focus on active meditation, voice work, and the creative flow of yoga sequencing. Together, we’ll expand your teaching and enrich your personal practice.

Meditation is more than stillness. It can also be dynamic, expressive, and alive. During this module, you’ll experience diverse techniques—ranging from rhythmic shaking and spontaneous movement to the deeper layers of OSHO meditation.

Voice is another central theme. With guidance from voice therapist Kim Gajraj, you will explore tone, presence, and self-expression. Her work supports your ability to speak with clarity and authenticity, both on and off the mat.

This module also dives into sequencing and teaching structure. We’ll explore how to build classes and workshops that feel intentional, balanced, and fully yours. Using tools from philosophy and anatomy, you’ll learn how to design impactful learning spaces and refine your cueing.

We hold this learning space with both professionalism and warmth. It’s a chance to learn, reflect, and grow within a supportive group of fellow teachers.

You’ll leave this module equipped to teach a wide variety of meditation styles. You’ll also gain the tools to create intelligent, well-rounded sequences and develop more confidence in your voice as a teacher.

HERE’S WHAT’S ON THE SCHEDULE:

• Voice Therapy Work
  Kim Gajraj brings depth, sensitivity, and power to this work. You’ll reconnect with your voice and rediscover its emotional and energetic potential. This practice helps you feel grounded and seen, and it enhances your ability to communicate with clarity.
• Meditation Practice
  Most of the module takes place in the realm of meditation. We will explore various techniques through both personal experience and open discussion. You’ll gain insight into the structure, effect, and energy of different meditation forms.
• Sequencing
  Working within the framework of Vinyasa Krama Yoga, we explore sequencing as a creative process. You’ll learn how to sequence through arcs and circles, incorporating symbolic blueprints, goddess archetypes, and movement planes. This work is about freedom, expression, and authenticity.
• Tantric Goddesses
  As with every module, we’ll study two Mahavidyas. In this case, we meet Bhairavi and Chinnamasta. Their energies offer a powerful foundation for reflection, teaching inspiration, and personal transformation.

Wednesday – Friday 6:30-17:30 Saturday 7:30-18:00 Sunday 7:30-16:00 + prep work ca 7 hours to complete online before the start of the module

This module invites you to explore the depth of meditation and the path to focus and presence. Led by Josephin, this journey supports you in developing the inner steadiness needed to teach meditation with confidence and clarity.

To teach focus effectively, we first need to develop a personal relationship with it. That is why meditation is at the heart of this module. You will explore its meaning, techniques, and purpose through different lenses, including Eastern Yoga, Buddhism, and Western psychotherapy.

Each day includes guided practices such as mantra, yantra, mudra, and Vedic meditation. These techniques help you build a grounded and personal approach, one you can integrate into your teaching.

At the same time, we explore the connection between meditation and mental health. With the guidance of Ida Farneman, you will learn how to teach trauma-informed practices, understand stress and its impact, and examine how the nervous system shapes our inner experience.

In addition, you will participate in 25 hours of Yin Yoga with Sammy Furnival. This practice brings new insights into connective tissues, meridians, and the relationship between movement and mind.

By the end of this module, you will feel ready to teach seated meditation classes, design sessions that address stress and nervous system regulation, and offer support with greater awareness and care.

HERE’S WHAT’S ON THE SCHEDULE:

• Meditation
  You will experience several meditation techniques and reflect on each one from a student perspective. This allows you to understand how to share them as a teacher. After this module, you will be able to lead meditation sessions, create short courses, and adapt the practices to different settings.
• Chakras and Goddesses
  Throughout the module, we work with the chakras, especially Vishuddhi, Ajna, and Sahasrara. You will also explore the energy and symbolism of the seventh and eighth Mahavidyas, Dhumavati and Bagalamukhi, and their connection to yogic philosophy.
• Yin Yoga and Chinese Medicine
  With Sammy Furnival, you will explore the basic principles of Yin Yoga and its distinctions from both Yang and restorative practices. We will also touch on concepts from Chinese medicine to better understand energy pathways, the body-mind connection, and emotional balance.
• Yoga Therapy
  This segment focuses on the nervous system, as well as conditions like SAD, depression, and burnout. You will learn how to adapt your teaching in subtle ways to support trauma-informed practices and create safe, accessible spaces for all students.

Online zoom course with Satyadev, the timing for the course will be set together with the group closer to the start of the training. It’s a 12 week course, where you meet every 2 weeks over zoom for 90 min per session. HERE’S WHAT’S ON THE SCHEDULE:

• Samadhi Pada
  In this first chapter, we explore the purpose of yoga: inner clarity and deep concentration. You’ll learn how both internal and external perceptions shape the mind, and how the Gunas; Tamas (inertia), Rajas (activity), and Sattva (balance); influence our mental state. The ultimate goal is to move toward Samprajnata Samadhi, a state of deep awareness and stability.
• Sadhana Pada
  This chapter outlines the practice path. Patanjali introduces the Eight Limbs of Yoga, a step-by-step structure to prepare the body and mind for stillness. You’ll learn how to reduce mental obstacles, develop detachment, and shift thought patterns through practices like Pratipaksha Bhavan. Asana and meditation are both explored as part of a broader inner journey.
• Vibhuti Pada
  Here, we look into the more subtle effects of sustained practice. You’ll study the powers known as Siddhis and how they relate to the last three limbs of yoga: Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (absorption). These practices, when combined as Samyama, offer insight, focus, and deeper perception of the self.
• Kaivalya Pada
  The final chapter describes the state of Kaivalyam, where the yogi is free from karmic cycles and fully at peace. This section is also a mirror. It shows us what happens when we don’t reflect or grow and offers tools to step into our full potential. It’s an inspiring conclusion to the course, encouraging full responsibility for the inner journey.

Starting Wednesday 16:00, so there is time for you to travel to Småland during the day. We end on Sunday around noon, for you to make it home in good time for dinner.

Together with Josephin and guest teacher Satyadev, you’ll explore yogic philosophy through the lens of Vedanta and self-inquiry. His presence brings depth through satsangs, mantra chanting, and ritual-based discussions that root the teachings in experience.

In preparation for this journey, you’ll begin a kriya practice three weeks before arriving at the retreat. During the stay, the practice continues—supporting a steady, meditative rhythm throughout the days.

Evenings invite you into stillness and meaning, with storytelling and group reflections inspired by the energies of Matangi and Kamala, two transformative goddesses from the Tantric tradition.

By the end of this module, you will feel more confident in sharing yogic philosophy, self-inquiry practices, and the deeply healing methods of Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra.

HERE’S WHAT’S ON THE SCHEDULE:

  This module is rooted in devotional practice. Through singing, ritual, and sacred gathering, we create a space of openness and connection. We’ll build a shared altar, gather by the fire, and sit with our truths, whatever they may be.
• Restorative Yoga
  You’ll learn how to guide others into deep states of rest. The physical portion of this training focuses on stillness, comfort, and support. By the end, you’ll feel confident teaching full restorative classes with clarity and care.

• Philosophy and Self-Inquiry
  There will be time for ongoing philosophical discussion, especially through the lens of Vedanta. This module is about curiosity and insight, a space to engage with yogic texts and personal reflection in a supportive community.
