Part 1. The Foundation of Yogic Practice (60h)

The goal of part 1 is to introduce the fundamental elements of this sacred tradition. While practicing asanas is the most common approach to engage with yoga, it is essential to recognize that this body-mind movement system is much more than simply perfecting the physical positions.

Testimonial

“I participated in Maiken's Advanced Yoga Teacher Training spring of 2022 and it was very important experience for me. That training was more than a yoga teacher training, it was therapeutical and a journey into knowing me and loving myself unconditionally. I felt very safe during our education and she guided us with a loving and gentle energy. Thank you Maiken for guiding me back home, into my heart and finding my voice.”
