Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga is a creative, inspiring, real-world anatomy and biomechanics-based Vinyasa Yoga teacher training that helps optimize the strength, flexibility, power and safety of a flow-based teaching style through cues and techniques which promote activation of the Deep Front Line and other myofascial (muscle-fascia) meridians.

This results in a next-level Vinyasa teacher with top-notch knowledge and more excited, empowered and happier students. Instructors who take CSV Yoga trainings consistently tell us their class sizes have doubled, even tripled after adding this knowledge to their teaching, and now you can gain your foundational 200 or advanced 300 hour certification in the style.
