We believe in the transformative power of a Mentorship journey through classical Yoga, Wisdom and Poetic self-reflection with a global Community of fellow-seekers.
We believe there is so much more to Yoga than what is taught in standard studio format classesAnd that yogis worldwide are genuinely seeking but there's not enough depth even in Teacher training.
In 2020, I realised that most yogis I’d taught since 2003 do Teacher training only to immerse deeper into Yoga. To know why it works - the Philosophy; to improve their practice with Anatomy and to learn advanced Energetic practices, beyond Asana.
Nearly 90% of people came for this; not to teach.
So I began designing a course that has everything I’d expect to learn in an advanced 300 hour Teacher training, and more!
In an online format, with all Practices and their modern science explained without only the hands-on teaching skills of course. Yogis loved it!
They could finally learn everything they wanted to in 1 course. That's why they called it Beyond Asana.
If you’ve read this far, we believe you’re looking for something deeper, authentic and with dedicated mentorship to focus you on what’s really important in Yoga!
3 out of 196 Yoga Sutras speak about Asana. That's 1%. For everyone interested in learning the other 99% that lies..., Beyond Asana!
50 hours of Lecture & Practice videos.
PDFs to Read and Questionnaires to Learn
Weekly Live interactive teachings gives both access to a worldwide community of life-long learners, and the dedicated Mentorship to resolve Q&A’s.
Beyond Asana is a Yoga, Wisdom & Meditation training spread over 50 hours of Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Program credits.
22 modules cover the breath of Yoga with unparalleled depth in interpreting all 196 Yoga Sutras, the History & Philosophy of Yoga, Anatomy, Chakras, Detox Shatkriyas, Ayurveda, Yoga Nidra and more.
