Enrich your teaching, refine your observation, expand your tools
Are you a yoga teacher looking to deepen a specific theme to enrich your classes?
Our further training yoga courses are short, intensive trainings that combine asana practice, teaching workshops and theoretical insights to provide concrete answers to real-world teaching situations.
You will find what is often missing in daily teaching (relevant variations, clear progressions, accurate corrections, safety and confidence), in the vibrant atmosphere of the ashram and in contact with experienced instructors.
Each course is designed to give you immediately applicable tools and to teach more precisely, more accurately and adapted to a diversity of students.
Teaching yoga to children, seniors or pregnant women; deepening your understanding of yoga anatomy; learning to adjust and adapt postures…
Throughout the year, we offer further training yoga courses to enrich your teaching and practice.
The Ashram de Yoga Sivananda is a Certified Training Centre by a French label ensuring the quality of the teachings.

Competent and creative handling of mistakes, limitations, adaptations, and variations in the asanas.
The ancient Hatha Yoga scriptures do not mention the order in which asanas should be practiced or which corrections should be applied. These aspects were likely developed directly through teaching. Swami Vishnudevananda was a brilliant example of this tradition.
The advanced training “Improving Asanas Holistically” was developed during a three-week retreat by senior teachers of the Sivananda Ashrams and Centres:
Explanation of the main reasons behind Swami Vishnudevananda’s teaching methods in asanas and pranayama, along with a clear description of the most important asana corrections.
