This five–day teacher training will present the Ashtanga Yoga Series and traditions in their purest form, providing a rare and privileged opportunity for beginners and experienced practitioners alike to learn from a genuine Indian master.

In this intense five-day training, Manju will introduce and teach powerful healing elements and techniques that make up the Ashtanga System, including:

The traditional Ashtanga Yoga practice, a series of asanas (postures) known as the Primary Series of Yoga Chikista (Yoga Healing), followed by the Intermediate Series entitled Nadi Shodhana (Nerve Cleansing). Daily Practice of the asana purifies the mind and body while also healing the nervous system.

Manju, using original Sanskrit so that students will benefit from the traditional form, will then teach the Nadi Shodhana Pranyama’s traditional breathing exercises.

After this the students will practice Vedic peace chants (Shanti Mantras)

Each day will conclude with meditation practice

By the end of this five-day intensive each student should be able to present the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga in the traditional form (using Sanskrit commands) as well as teach some of the fundamental pranayamas and chants.
