Teachers trening

Every year Ashtanga Yoga Center (Moscow) conducts Certification Teachers Training according to international standards of International Yoga Federation and European Yoga Alliance. Total time of training is 216 hours.

During this Training our teachers, who studied with Indian, Western and Russian Yoga Masters, and have a lot of experience of intensive personal practice, will give you high-quality and extensive information about theory and practice of hatha yoga, including unique Yoga Library on CD

After accomplishing Course and successful passing exams student will receive Certificate on Russian and English languages.

To pass the course for increasing the level of practice and education is possible for all those who wish.  A student is admitted to pass the exam if he/she has experience in practicing hatha yoga for 2 years or more in Ashtanga Yoga Center or other centers with style of practice similar in intensity, those who have recommendations from well known teachers or those, who showed their level of practice (if before they practiced themselves) during the course.

Such terms are made because the course is not a formal case, were you can buy a Certificate, and if according to his level the student is not ready to be a teacher, there is no sense to pass the exams. Finishing the course does not automatically mean that a student will get certificate, if the student did not pass the exam or is not permitted to pass it.

We practice and teach traditional Indian Yoga, that is why we do not permit to pass the exams students who have harmful habits - smoking, drinking, taking drugs; those who are not vegetarians, who do not aim to fulfill traditional purposes of Yoga - spiritual and physical Self-realization .
