The Critical Alignment Yoga training is intended for people who want to delve into this yoga form, where the “alignment” of the body is central. Good alignment means that the body can move freely without tension. From the perspective of movement, stuck body structures are broken.
During the training you will become acquainted with Critical Alignment Yoga and you will learn how to transfer the knowledge about Critical Alignment to others. After the training you can start working as a teacher.
Practical information:
- The training consists of two series of 8 weekends, spread over 2 years.
- The training is open to anyone who has no yoga experience yet, but also to yoga teachers from different styles who want to integrate Critical Alignment Yoga in their teaching.
- Number of participants: minimum 15, maximum 22.

Particularities
- After the first year, an intensive yoga week is given in Narthiac (France). First year participants are strongly recommended to participate. All parts of the course come together here in one week, which leads to an experience that cannot be built up by following the weekly lessons.
- If you are a member of the Vereniging Yogadocenten Nederland (VYN) and have already completed a yoga course elsewhere, you may charge 60 additional training points for this course
