Asanas Practice
During the
200 Hr Yoga Teacher Training (Singapore,
Malaysia) Course,
students have to practice asanas (yoga postures) and variations
(about 100 of them) and learn their Sanskrit names by heart.
Modifications for beginners and different groups of people and
variations of the asanas are covered. Tirisula Yoga focuses on
"being" in the pose rather than just "doing" the pose. Students
have to hold in asanas for some time to feel the sensations and
channel their thoughts internally. Proper alignment will be
taught and students will be corrected by our Master Trainers.
Besides holding the yoga poses,
Vinyasa flow
will be taught during the teacher training program.
This may be
physically intense, those who have medical conditions please
