Where you begin!
Our 200 Hour Ashtanga and Rocket Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training can be for the complete beginner who is just learning about the wonders of Yoga or the seasoned veteran who is looking to add a specific lineage to their teaching methodology. We start all our trainings with in-depth study of Sun Salutations and the standing series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. This is an excellent beginners series and can lay the foundation for gentle forms of yoga sequencing or prepare the student for more advanced asana expressions. We also begin developing the voice through scripting and mind-body journaling. This course shares history of yoga both in a classical sense as well as from a modern/contemporary view point. Introduction to structural anatomy and the "art of touch" or yoga adjustments will be covered to prepare the student for in house clinics when the trainers work directly with the student body at Ashtanga Yoga Puerto Rico.
For the final portion of the training, students will learn seated vinyasa, over half the primary asana and a finishing series that is complete with breathing exercises and mediation techniques. This will prepare the teachers to be able to not only teach introductory classes but also complete 60-75 min beginners/intermediate! Students will explore deeper into the Anatomy of the body through the specific yoga asanas that we practice in Ashtanga Yoga.
We also cover Yoga Philosophy which is introduced via Patanjali and other choice philosophers of the past and present. Our program covers all the basics with out over whelming the mind for a soft entry into the journey of yoga.
The Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Basic Certification can help inspire years of practice and gives the graduate an specific method to offer their friends and family. We also introduce students to the "Rocket®" Vinyasa Yoga System, which is the perfect balance of creativity and exploration! Your Yoga Alliance accredited RYT-200 is provided upon completion!
For those looking to advance!
We have open enrollment for our 300 Hour Program which is divided into smaller 100 and 50 hour blocks. Students over time can choose the teacher and the time that fits them best!
We encourage students who are new to Ashtanga methods and teaching to start with our 100 hour "Ashtanga Review" This is open to students who have an existing RYT-200. The Full Primary and Secondary series should already be set to memory before you start or feel free to spend as much time as you need to become confident in both practice and teaching the full Primary and Intermediate series of Classical Ashtanga Vinyasa. Students are not required to be physically proficient in all the asana, but should show comfort in the sequence and self-led practice style. Each student is encouraged to practice through the entire series to their ability in the progressive methodology.
The final 200 hours is "Rocket® Yoga: As It Is" our Foundations and Advanced levels. This phase is often separated into parts that are 50 hours or there is opportunity to take a 100-hour intensive course /retreat. These trainings cover level 1 and 2 inside the Rocket system which teaches both an introduction to the Rocket Vinyasa Yoga System as taught by Larry Schultz and more Advanced sequencing techniques as taught by David Kyle.
These trainings cover the 3 basic sequences referred to as Rocket® 1, Rocket® 2, and Rocket® 3 as well as encouraging students to practice variations that are unique to the Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga trainings.
These trainings only prepare teachers to be able to led Master Classes and Workshops. Graduates are not allowed to led teacher trainings in Rocket Vinyasa or offer CEC's. This is only allowed for License Rocket Vinyasa Teacher Trainers.
The final portion of our 300 RYT is called "Path to Independence", which is an internship where teachers become assistants to other licensed Rocket Teacher Trainers who are offering this course. Through mentorship students learn to offer Rocket Vinyasa on a higher level through workshops and teacher Training possibilities with license. These trainings are spread throughout the year and offered to no more than two assistants per training. Student must commit to the full stage and be present everyday. Let us know about your schedule and plans for the future and we can help you build the path to a successful yoga journey!
