At the cornerstone of our teaching philosophy is the idea
that the concepts of Yoga must be first understood through
the body and the dynamic, conscious practice of asana.
The YogaWorks method is a blending of the three strands of
the Krishnamacharya lineage -- Ashtanga, Iyengar and the
teachings of Desikachar, coupled with our unique approach to
sequencing that is specifically designed to meet the needs
of the average yoga student. From Ashtanga, the method
incorporates heat and flow, from Iyengar precise alignment
and detailed instructions, and from the teachings of
Desikachar the ability to modify postures and the idea that
the practice should fit the practitioner.
Our programs emphasize a student’s personal practice as the
source for their creative teaching, and include a
comprehensive study of the techniques and mechanics of
fundamental yoga postures, as well as the tools necessary to
teach and inspire others. To deepen their education students
will also study functional anatomy and physiology, explore
Yoga’s philosophical underpinnings, practice meditation and
pranayama, and investigate the ancient science of Ayurveda.
YogaWorks’ programs include the
200-hour Teacher
Training, a foundational teacher training program for
