200h RYT® JAI MA HATHA VINYASA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING – Alignment based and inspired by the 5 Elements of nature

Start: Saturday, 24th of January 2025 at Bindi Yoga Amersfoort. 

YOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IS YOUR EXPERIENCE 

The  Jai Ma  Yoga Teacher Training  is a 200h RYT® certified Hatha Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training  inspired by the five elements of nature earth, water, fire, air and space. It is alignment based and with an therapeutic impact for body, mind and heart. 

In the Jai Ma Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Trainings we create a field for growth and unfoldment. Everybody brings its own unique qualities to the Jai Ma Vinyasa Teacher Training where yoga unites us. My personal matter is to support you in the process of the Teacher Training. Because yoga is not a one-size-fits-all practice this Yoga Teacher Training gives you the opportunity to explore different teachings styles like Vinyasa, Slow Flow Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Meditation. This way we give you the space and opportunity to give your yoga teachings a direction after learning the basics in this training skillfully. My Yoga Teacher Training works along main teaching principles so that you and later your students open to a rejuvenating and healing aspect of yoga.

WHAT IS HATHA VINYASA YOGA?

In Vinyasa Yoga classes students coordinate breath with movement to come from one pose to the next. Vinyasa Yoga is also called Flow Yoga because of the smooth way that the poses move from one to another and it is one of the most popular contemporary styles of yoga. In Hatha pacing the poses are held longer for 10-15 seconds which makes the class less dynamic.  

WHAT MAKES THE JAI MA HATHA VINYASA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING UNIQUE?

The Teacher Training is inspired by the five elements earth, fire, water, air and space. You find the elements  in nature and during the training they offer you the exploration of different teaching styles so that you can meet your own individual needs and talents.  

Earth

Restorative and alignment based Hatha Yoga with its grounding and foundational quality in the human body is inspired by the earth element.

Fire

Fire inspires to more core work and powerful yoga invoking heat in the human body.

Water

The element of water is associated with the Slow Flow teaching style, liquid and less edgy.

Air

The element of air is not only present in the breathing exercises. In Vinyasa Yoga we link breath to movement.

Space

Space is the element which is most related to meditation. It inspires us to explore different methods of meditation.

You will get acquainted with different styles of teachings like Slow Flow Vinyasa,  Vinyasa Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Coreflow/Power Yoga. During the Teacher Training you can already set a focal point in your yoga practice. This will support you in your yoga practice, your future teachings and you as a teacher to stay authentic and original in the teaching style. 

ALIGNMENT BASED YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

Next to the five elements the Jai Ma Vinyasa Yoga  Teacher Training includes therapeutic alignments which keeps the students safe in a yoga pose. You will learn how important it is to apply alignments, what muscles to use  to open the body and to go deeper into a pose in a most safe way.  

WHAT DOES JAI MA MEAN?

Jai = victoriously, praise

Ma = great mother, great goddess, great mother Earth

Jai Ma can be translated as praise to the great goddess or to Mother Earth. The five elements, the Pancha Mahabhutas, manifest the planet and everything else. The elements play an inspirational role in the Jai Ma Vinyasa Teacher Training. They will inspire you on your path offering close to nature contemplations and allow to reflecting on yourself. You will learn about therapeutic alignments oriented on the principles of nature. The Jai Ma Vinyasa Teacher Training incorporates the yoga philosophy of the Kashmir Shaiva tradition, a tremendous and infinite source of wisdom and practice on your path of yoga and the ancient foundation of Hatha Yoga.
