It´s Yoga Nica
Take the steps towards a yogic lifestyle.
The purpose of this Yoga Teacher Training program is to provide a supportive environment in which students begin to connect with their inner teacher, internal wisdom and authentic voice.
Through pranayama, asana practice, mind-body, journalism, group conversation, reading and guided meditation, students will practice the essential process of conscious listening to your own higher self.
The Yoga Teacher Training is designed to provide participants with a solid foundation of knowledge and information with which you can confidently and effectively facilitate an Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga class for beginners.
We will share our expertise about marketing, pricing, teaching group or private classes, and setting up your own yoga school.
We intend to support each student as they develop, deepen, appreciate and expand their understanding of their true authentic self. Through basic study of philosophy, personal alignment, modifications of classical poses, pranayama practices, and individual instruction, this intimate Yoga Teacher Training is sure to be a life enhancing experience. We look forward to working with you.
