ABOUT HEART of YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Heart of Yoga puts the principles of Krishnamacharya into the practice you know and love to make Yoga entirely your own, efficient, powerful and safe. Krishnamacharya is the teacher of our teachers yet his wonderful empowering technologies have curiously been omitted from the popularization of Yoga. Heart of Yoga is an over arching brand of Yoga education ensuring that Yoga is useful for all people, all cultures and contemporary life styles. It allows styles of Yoga to be perfectly personalized to become utterly nurturing.
Heart of Yoga was founded in 1995 by Mark Whitwell, student of T. Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) and U.G. Krishnamurti (1918-2007) combining the work of these source scholars dedicated to teaching that there is a powerful Yoga for every unique person adapted to individual needs. Heart of Yoga encourages everyone to embrace their own daily Yoga as direct intimacy with life’s nurturing and extreme intelligence.
Advanced principles taught in Heart of Yoga are easily given to perfect beginners or experienced students. All styles, Iyengar, Ashtanga Vinyasa and their derivatives like Anusara require adaptation to the principles. Training includes asana, vinyasa, breath, bandha, alignment, pranayama, meditation, intimacy in seamless design.
