After this 100-hour yoga teacher training course, you will have a firm understanding of the energetic (pranic) body and its relation to the rest of the body systems in order to obtain balance with the help of yoga. Neo Yoga’s 100-hour yoga teacher training is in Hatha and Vinyasa Flow. From the asana postures to yoga philosophy, the teachers are supportive.

Hatha yoga

Hatha yoga is considered the traditional Indian yoga style. Many old and contemporary styles are based on Hatha yoga. This style tends to be slower-paced and with varying sequences. The practice of Hatha yoga balances the sun and moon energy within the body and transforms the lower chakra energies to higher levels. In Hatha should be practiced with awareness, respecting the body's limitations. A correct alignment will be taught in the class.

Vinyasa Flow yoga

Vinyasa Flow is a more fast-paced yoga style of movement with synchronized breathing. This style is sometimes also called Flow yoga because of the smooth way that the poses run together, becoming something like a dance. Vinyasa Flow derives from the Ashtanga yoga as taught in the K. Pattabi Jois tradition, but there is more flow in Vinyasa.

In a Vinyasa Flow class, the teacher is free to combine various asanas to create the flow, and sometimes challenging postures are introduced. Vinyasa Flow is fun and upbeat, and has lots of variations possible within it, enabling each teacher to improvise and experiment.

Oceanic yoga provides buffet-style, vegetarian cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, giving importance to health and hygiene and making sure that fresh fruits, vegetables, and other local ingredients are used. At Neo Yoga, the emphasis is on a healthy and sattvic diet.

The Oasis Residency restaurant offers lovely views of the beach and a good menu. However, it is right next to a bar which plays psytrance music very loud over the weekend. Get there early if you want to beat the noise and admire the views. The prices are quite high but that's the price you pay for eating on the beachfront. The restaurant has a good choice of food and the staff is all very helpful. A good place to go whilst in Goa.
