The program prepares the participants to teach in an effective and didactic way, principles and techniques that are more advanced, detailed or even more subtle. The practical skills will be trained in Vinyasa Yoga practices, and as theory studies, following the 7 Chakras through the Calendar, bringing didactic into the senses and to the personal experience of each student.
