We believe that you begin teaching from the moment you enter our shala. We aim for the lessons to be confidence-building and progressive. You’ll start with one-to-one lessons and gradually moving to bigger groups of students, eventually, you’ll be delivering. Through regular feedback from teachers and fellow students, you’ll improve with practice—gradually finding your unique voice and style as a teacher.

Yoga Union Vinyasa structure & principles
Practice teaching & receiving feedback
Observing others teaching & giving feedback
Learn & practice hands-on adjustment
Instruction, teaching styles, and qualities of a teacher
Voice projection and floor presence
Planning and structuring a class
Dealing with injuries and safety precautions

Afternoons

To complement your morning dynamic Yang practice, the afternoons will focus on Yin practice. The classes will feature Yin yoga, Yoga Nidra, Restorative, Gentle Hatha.

WORKSHOPS

Asana-related, these workshops will cover handstands, hip openers, fun modules like partner yoga and spiritual immersions such as cacao ceremonies, ecstatic dance, eye gazing and bhakti.

Requirements

A sincere desire to learn, an open mind and heart to the teachings of yoga and a high degree of self-motivation is required for all aspects of the course. Foundational knowledge of yoga postures, philosophy and anatomy covered in 200hr YTTC are required, but we will also try our best to recap. Self-discipline is necessary during the course as it is physically, mentally and spiritually demanding training (and in return highly rewarding).

This course will be taught in English, therefore it is recommended that you are proﬁcient in the language. To ensure the success of the program, participants are required to attend all activities, lectures and classes.
These are important attributes that will add to your learning experience during the course and also to the learning experience of your fellow yogis.

Days Off

Every week you will have a day oﬀ (usually Sunday’s) to relax and enjoy some free time.

The Practice

The course is a 5 – week intensive, advanced 300hr training that will build on your pre-existing knowledge, so having already a 200hr certiﬁcation will be required.

Following from our 200hr course, this training will naturally be practice focused as well. We will analyze all the poses of Ashtanga Primary Series, as well as more and new Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga postures. We will break down, analyze, learn how to perform, adjust and teach those poses and make creative and well structured ﬂows with them.

The anatomy lessons will hug the asana classes, complimenting them by focusing on the understanding of movement patterns, their practical application to our practice and how each pose aﬀects the joints, bones and muscles. We will take a deeper look, not only at the muscles & their fascia, but also on the nervous system. We will gain more insight into how the mind is connected to our body and how we can invest in that relationship and take the reigns.

The Spirit

Our days will start with Pranayama, meditation and chanting, balancing us and setting the stage for the rest of the day. You will be introduced to new, more advanced breathing techniques and practice diﬀerent kinds of meditation methods and mantra chanting.

The philosophy classes will take us through the epic Baghavagitta, where we will have in-depth,
open-minded & constructive discussions in order to ﬁnd ourselves there and see how we can apply the traditional yogic ethics & lifestyle to our modern lives.

In the afternoons, we will delve deeper into the practice of Yin, as well as being introduced to even more styles of yoga, like Tantra, restorative, pre-natal and others, as well as having regular theme-based workshops.

The Family

Five intensive, challenging and very rewarding weeks await you. During this training we will spend even more hours together, practicing, training and learning but also supporting and helping each other, through good and bad.

During this training you will work closer and for more hours with your teachers, who will always be there to support and guide you through this journey. You will bond and connect on a deeper level with your fellow students as well. You will live, eat and sleep close to each other as well as having many many hours of mutual practice where you will be asked to group up and study or practice your ﬁnal lessons together.

On Sundays you will have your day-oﬀ where you can explore the magical Greece, sailing in the beautiful Greek islands, hike the mountains, depending on your energy levels.

What To Expect

Practice every day in our special home deep in the beautiful rural area overlooking the sea, the Yoga Shala. Accommodations in our partner guesthouses in the surrounding area, our magical neighborhood, which is surrounded by lush, mountainous, natural setting and the local community while being only 3-minutes walking distance from the center of Palairos.

Daily, mornings will begin with pranayama, meditation and mantra chanting, followed by Vinyasa and Ashtanga ﬂow classes.

Early afternoons will be focused on deep learning of asanas with an emphasis on alignment, adjustments & teaching methodology. You will dive into the theoretical part, studying Yoga Philosophy or Anatomy (alternating days).

The afternoon lessons will be focused on restorative styles of yoga such as Yin, Hatha, Nidra, introducing you to diﬀerent styles of yoga like Tantra and pre natal and specialized workshops.

Late afternoon lessons will seal the day, with practicing what we learn, work on our ﬁnal lessons and studying together as we watch the sun setting.

You will eat at our YogaUnion partner restaurant a few minutes walking distance from the Yoga Shala, where you will enjoy healthy and nutritious recipes, all made from local and organic fruits & vegetables. You will have 1 day oﬀ per week, usually Sundays where you get to relax or enjoy the surroundings or arrange excursions and small trips to explore Palairos.

Above all we will not forget to enjoy ourselves and have fun in the process! The ultimate goal is self realization and happiness and creating an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
