Syllabus 
Vinyasa Flow

Vinyasa Flow Morning Practice will take place on alternate days. These classes will demonstrate dynamic sequencing that will inspire you to teach your own classes.  Our experienced 200 hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Teachers will guide you through each of the 2 hour sessions, taking you on a journey.  Classes may work towards a peak posture, tell a story or set a particular technical intention. Classes will introduce you to new postures and techniques to achieve them. Each week, Vinyasa Flow Classes will cover Hip Opening, Back Bending and Strength.

Vinyasa Flow Teaching Methodology

The teaching Methodology Module has been designed to ease you into teaching. Each week, we will provide tools for you to develop your teaching skills. You will build your own 60-minute Vinyasa Flow Class that you will teach during the final week. Teaching Methodology sessions include: Opening a Class, Sequencing for Vinyasa Flow, Concise Instructions, Relaxation Techniques, Corrections and Modifications. Participating in each other’s classes and providing constructive feedback for your peers is a great way to learn and share ideas. Practice time is crucial here and time is allocated for you to practice teaching in order that you feel confident in teaching your peers.

Ashtanga Yoga

The program offers a strong foundation in Ashtanga Yoga, concentrating on the correct alignment of the postures of the Primary Series. 200 hour Ashtanga yoga teacher training in Goa Classes will take place on alternate mornings. Your Lead Teacher will guide you through the full Primary Series, modifying the more complex postures if needed.  Our Assistant Teachers will support to ensure correct alignment.

Ashtanga Yoga Self-Practice will commence during the 3rd week of your training.  Here, you will complete the series, at our own pace and in your own time. Your teachers will then check your alignment and possibly help you get deeper in the posture.



 

Anatomy and Alignment Classes

This is a daily 2-hour session that teaches the alignment of The Primary Series postures. It is an integral part of the 200 hour Vinyasa yoga teacher training in Goa. You will learn about the Skeletal and Muscular Systems and how this applies to postures. Our aim is that you leave with an awareness of your own body and its capabilities. During these classes, you will learn how to adjust your own practice in terms of modifying postures to a position that is suitable for you. This class provides the opportunity for us to really assist with your practice on a personal level. It provides the opportunity to explore your strength and flexibility and you will receive tips on how to get the most from your physical practice.

Technical Workshops

We have a series of workshops to deliver to help you achieve key postures. Workshops will include Headstand, Chaturanga, Transitions, Arm Balances, Partner Yoga and Back Bending.  Our Yoga Teacher will give you techniques to get you into some of these milestone postures.  You will get lots of useful tips for you to incorporate into your 200 hour Vinyasa Yoga TTC in Goa Classes.

Pranayama (breathing techniques)

From your first day, you will be encouraged to bring awareness to your breath.  In both Vinyasa Flow and Ashtanga Yoga, the breath initiates the movement from posture to posture. It is impossible to progress through the series without the familiarity of the rhythm of your own breath, improving your focus. You will learn Pranayama techniques that will help you to lengthen your breath, increase your lung capacity and strengthen the nervous system.  This is an important aspect of yoga. Pranayama is a great way to alleviate stress and tension, something that is often endured in modern society. Pranayama practice will allow you to build mental and emotional strength to help you maintain a healthy sense of wellbeing, not just on the 200 hour vinyasa yoga teacher training course in India but in your everyday life.

Yoga Philosophy

Classical Yoga Philosophy is interwoven throughout the program and you will be introduced to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, allowing you to make your own comparisons of classical and contemporary yoga, posing the question, ‘What is Yoga?’  These sessions are a great time for philosophical debate and indeed provided a welcome insight into the views of your fellow students.  Each yoga class will have an intention with a spiritual message that will allow you to understand how we can incorporate philosophy into practice.

Evening Activities

Scheduled activities will take place after dinner and will include: Moonlight Flow, Bedtime Yin Yoga, Yoga Movies, Beach Bonfires, Local Festivals, Sunset Drumming and Ecstatic Dance.

Business closed- still taking deposit money
I showed up and it had been bulldozed. There was zero communication about this in advance. I am still waiting for them to return my money weeks later

Good stay in a lovely setting
I had a great week stay at Kranti. Beautiful setting and the healthy great food was a highlight.

The teaching was largely very good but a few inconsistencies. Their focus is more on the teacher training so at times the yoga holiday guests feel like an afterthought.

Overall a few improvements could be made to enhance the experience. For example my twin room was nice but the bathroom wasn't very clean. Also the yoga mats are only cleaned weekly and staff didn't acknowledge when I flagged that isn't often enough. They could easily fix this by asking guests to wipe mats after use. I'd suggest bringing your own mat!

Best experience ever
I came to Kranti to do the 200YTT Ashtanga-Vinyasa and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life.
Not only is the place dreamy and well-maintained, but the staff is super professional and friendly. Within a few days, I already felt like part of the family. The program is robust and taught with great professionalism. I want to highlight teachers Radhi, Amit, Sonaal, Ricardo, and Sean, although everyone here gives their best to teach and make you feel at home.

I really appreciate the safety; I tend to forget things, and I can say that in Kranti and the surrounding areas, you can leave any belongings and they'll stay in the same place for days, it's also a very safe environment for women, considering that many times we are afraid to come alone to India, best place to introduce yourself to Indian life.

The food is a owesome, breakfast being the best. There's a great variety of vegetarian and vegan options, and the kitchen staff prepares special dishes if there are any allergies or specific requests.

Thank you! I will return to Kranti whenever I come back to India.
