What is Vinyasa Flow?
Vinyasa Yoga is a popular Yogastyle rooted deeply in traditional Hatha Yoga. It combines classical Asanas with breath and movement, strength with flexibility, and consciousness with energy. HA-THA practice flows into a rhythmic dance of movement and non-movement, contraction-release, inner stillness and powerful energy. Translated, Vinyasa means “The art of Sequencing”. It is the art of merging the diversity of Asanas beautifully and helpfully. The framework of class compositions is determined by the traditional tantric method called “Nyasa” for energizing the body. It enables you to create your practice and Yoga classes in a creative and elegant yogic fashion. The 200h Teacher Training imparts principles of this universal teaching.
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny.

VINYASA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING – CURRICULUM
The Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training curriculum equips aspiring yoga teachers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead dynamic Vinyasa classes. The program typically covers the foundational principles of Vinyasa yoga, including breath synchronization (pranayama) with movement, alignment techniques, and sequencing of asanas (yoga postures).
Vinyasa Flow
This class is a part of the morning practice. Every class will have a technical focus, working towards a peak posture. Classes will demonstrate how to incorporate stretching and strengthening techniques into a Vinyasa Flow Class, inspiring you to create your class as part of the Teaching Methodology program.
Vinyasa Flow Teaching Methodology
Students will create a dynamic Vinyasa Flow class to achieve peak posture through stretching and strengthening techniques. This module will be taught through peer teaching, facilitating the sharing of sufficiently challenging information. The head teacher will teach these classes.
Adjustments for Vinyasa Flow
Adjustments provide more in-depth access to poses and allow students to gain an understanding of new postures. They need to be managed carefully and confidently. Different body types and the importance of the student-teacher rapport will be considered, and student-teacher practice adjustments will be made as part of the morning practice. Learning adjustments is a ‘hands-on’ process, and so it will be closely supervised by the Lead Trainer.
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga
Students will learn an abbreviated version of the series to make the connection between Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and Vinyasa Flow. Students will be encouraged to practice concerning the anatomy of the fascial body.

See what people have to say about our Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training
Having experienced the drop-in classes at Raj Yoga School in both Goa and Dharamshala, I can confidently say that their teachings are unparalleled. I was so enthusiastic about their classes that I followed their school from Goa to Dharamshala for the next season. What sets them apart for me is their expertise, and commitment to traditional yoga practices, which creates authentic yoga experiences and exceptional yoga education.Thanks to the thoughtfully crafted sequences and precise adjustments from the teachers, I felt myself advancing quickly in my practice. Beyond just the physical aspect, there's a palpable sense of familial energy in the atmosphere, making every class a safe and welcoming space.I highly recommend Raj Yoga School to any yoga practitioners looking to start or deepen their practice in Goa and Dharamshala, India. Their guidance is invaluable. Personally, I'm already planning my 300-hour YTTC with them, and I can't wait to be back!
I was a part of 200 hrs training in Raj Yoga School in Dharamshala in April 2023. The teachers - Raj, Dev and Bharat were amazing, very open, friendly and helpful. They allowed us not to be just students, but also feel like a family to them. I really appreciate their attitude and the way of teaching. The classes were diverse and fun every day. The food and accommodation was amazing!The Yoga training was beyond my expectations, I learned the truth meaning of Yoga anf Yogic lifestyle. Those three weeks changed me and showed me a direction I want to go in life. The teachers were also supporting me in difficult moments and personal topics during and after my training.What I specially like about all the people who are part of Raj Yoga School is that these people are not just teachers teaching for money, they all life the knowledge they are teaching others. They are the perfect possible example for theirs students.If you have the opportunity to visit Raj Yoga School, even for a open yoga class, please do it. You won´t regret it!
I did the 200 hour teachers training course at Rag Yoga School. It was an amazing experience that taught me so much. I am so glad I chose to do the course with Rag and Bharat (our teachers). They were so patient and kind to us. They were truly professional and I enjoyed every moment. The course takes place in an amazing and magical forest in Agonda, Goa. It is a different and extraordinary experience that makes you connect with the place you are in and with yourself on a high level. I highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to enter into an empowering and educational experience.
I have been taking drop-In hatha classes with Raj from Raj Yoga School in Goa on a daily basis for the last three months and an aerial yoga session with Dev. Raj is an amazing teacher and Dev's intro into aerial yoga was also so great and big fun.Raj's Hatha classes have a duration of about 100 minutes. Every class includes mantra singing, warm-up, asanas practice, pranayama and a time for questions. He mostly finishes his classes with a short theory lecture in which he gives you insights into topics like the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali, mantras or yogic lifestyle.Raj is a knowledgeable yoga teacher with a strong conviction, that yoga is not only a physical exercise, but the first step towards a spiritual practice/live and he feels committed to the learning process of his students. He is highly professional in each aspect: He had always the same friendly attitude, his queues very precise, the shala clean and tidy. And although he tells you to practice gently before class, he always challenges you to go beyond your limits. In three months of having 7 classes a week, no class was the same, each one was a new challenge and I learned so much.Also Raj's alignments are just amazing: they stretch you deeply and make you feel sooooo good. But although being very successful with the YTTs of his school and having full drop-in yoga classes every day, Raj remains a humble person. He thanks his students for their questions, because – according to him – those make him grow as a teacher. What I also appreciated: It was no issue to get an official receipt for all my yoga classes, something that is not always easy to get from other schools.My personal highlight: For a long time, I had been trying to stand in a free headstand or to get up into the wheel, and either fear or mental blockage did not allow it. After only one private class with Raj, I could overcome my fear of falling, got into the free headstand and my arms suddenly had the strength to push me up into the wheel which was pure bliss.Thank you, Raj for being the way you are and for teaching me so much. I hope to go on learning with you next year.
Raj and Dev are very professional, they are full of knowledge and experience, the classes are always interesting and rich with attention to every aspect of the yoga- physicali, spiritually and cognitive. Every one can enjoy and find the exact difficulty's level that is right to her/him in every pose and to feel improvement from one class to another. Definitely the best thing to do in Arambol for your body, mind and soul!
