About this retreat
Maya Yoga has a long history of training Ashtanga teachers and helping students deepen their practice as Kansas City’s Ashtanga Yoga studio. Our traditional approach to teaching and training has earned us a reputation for fostering a spiritual practice. We strive to develop a union of the body, mind, and spirit in our students.
Our integrated teaching approach presents topics in context of the Ashtanga Vinyasa method because learning to teach yoga begins with an immersion into your own practice, which, as you will learn, is your best resource for teaching. Our focus is hands-on, practical knowledge that students need to get started. Hence, students learn anatomy and physiology, teaching methodologies, pranayama, philosophy, etc. within the framework of the Ashtanga postures. We emphasize discussion over lecture and doing rather than watching.
The Goal
Learn and use the teaching method in the lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois to teach safe and effective Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga classes. You will also learn to deepen your own practice leading to a healthier body, a clearer mind and a greater sense of peace and joy in your life.
