Overview

For over a decade, YogaUnion has been offering yoga teacher training courses (YTTC’s) based on AshtangaVinyasa Flow. Their program is internationally accredited with Yoga Alliance. Ourania and Spyros, the original founders, fell in love with Bali and decided to make it their home. The training is held in Ubud, the cultural and yogic capital of Bali. The 200hr Vinyasa TTC is open to those who want to become yoga teachers or deepen their practice. The YogaUnion Shala is located in the ricefields, providing a magical setting for the training. Ourania and Spyros have used their extensive experience to create a challenging and transformative course. The training focuses on building confidence, developing skills and knowledge, understanding Vinyasa & Ashtanga practice, asana analysis and adjustment theory, and learning about methodology, theory, philosophy, anatomy/physiology, Ayurveda, nutrition, healing, rejuvenation, and the business aspect of yoga. Graduates of the course receive an internationally recognized certification by the Yoga Alliance.

How the training looks like

Each morning, we start with an hour of pranayama, meditation, and mantra chanting. This is followed by a Vinyasa flow class. In the early afternoons, we focus on deepening our understanding of asanas, with a strong emphasis on alignment, adjustments, and teaching methodology. The afternoons consist of theoretical lessons in Yoga Philosophy or Anatomy. We also explore restorative styles of yoga such as Yin, Hatha, Nidra, and specialized workshops. At YogaUnion, we maintain a high standard of teaching while keeping our classes fun and interactive. The program is designed to gradually develop teaching skills, starting from individual lessons and progressing to larger classes. Regular feedback is provided by teachers and fellow students to help improve your teaching style and voice. We cover various topics including teaching methodology and technique, principles of demonstration, observation and correction, instruction and teaching styles, and the business aspects of teaching yoga. We also focus on planning and structuring a class, alignment and hands-on adjustment, dealing with injuries and safety precautions, and the practice of pranayama.
