Program

The YTT program is designed as a mandala of practices. In this way, you can approach and deepen each aspect of the Way of Yoga in a complete course, following a gradual and harmonious progression. You will be simply starting at the beginning; first lay a good foundation, then develop.

Thus, one week after another, you will alternately emphasize the physical (Hatha), energetic (Kundalini) and contemplative (Jnana) aspects of yoga. On the other hand, the program for each day is balanced and also focuses on these different aspects.

In general, you will approach your YTT training from the perspective of Integral yoga, which includes the three main aspects of traditional practice:

Hatha yoga (the Way of the Body approached in different styles, including Bala yoga which is specific to Sana yoga)
Kriya Kundalini yoga (the Way of Energy, approached under several traditional approaches)
Jnana yoga (the Way of Contemplation of essential Nature, or the practice of mindfulness approached under several traditional approaches)

All other aspects of yoga are contained in these three fundamental styles of yoga, and are therefore naturally transmitted (with their theoretical and practical aspects) in the YTT Sana Yoga trainings! You will learn them from the perspective of Raja yoga (Integral yoga, developing the three aspects of the body, energy and spirituality in a harmonious and balanced way).

On the other hand, teachers are also trained in the Golden Embryo method, another specificity of Sana Yoga. EO is an integral yogic practice and a path of complete realization in itself; it will be integrated into your ITT training courses so that you can practice it and pass it on.

Finally, the magnificent seaside setting of the French Riviera, renowned for its quiet beaches and emerald-colored waters, is ideal for training in Aqua Yoga and Paddle Yoga.

Extra courses

The training is also accompanied by extra courses on topics related to yoga:

Yoga and Ayurveda (massages, oils, diet and practices adapted to the doshas, phytotherapy, knowledge of the nadis, etc.)
Yoga and MTC (diet adapted to the constitution, herbal medicine, knowledge of the meridians, principles of moxatherapy, etc.)
Yoga and Litho-energetics (lithotherapy, treatments with stones and crystals, energy balancing, anchoring, meridian/ckakras system, etc.)
Yoga and Dance (when dance becomes yoga and yoga becomes dance)
Yoga and Mandala (study of the notion of mandala in relation to Yoga)
“Yoga”: the Union of the Sacred Feminine and Masculine (understanding your Yin and Yang polarities on the spiritual, energetic and physical levels. How yoga allows them to be harmonized and reintegrated into a non-dual relationship)
Yoga and Tantra (you will learn the traditional perspective of the vehicle of transformation and sublimation of energy. Originally Tantra aims at the reintegration of natural and vital dynamisms in the contemplation of non-dual nature)
Yoga and Energy Healing (channeling of healing energy, electromagnetism, remote healing, etc.)

Other specificities

Visits and practices at the Ashram of Amma, at the cave of Marie-Madeleine (Sainte-Beaume) and other inspiring sites for your yogic practices
Basic theory and practice of Ayurveda (study of doshas, Ayurvedic diet and massage)

The following is an example of a typical program, which may have variations to remain adaptable. In addition, Sana Yoga will make certain practices coincide with the times of sunrise and sunset (the sandhyas), times which shift by about one minute per day; here again the program must remain adaptable.

This a sample of a typical day during the first week of training, where Sana Yoga puts the emphasis on the physical aspect (Hatha yoga and its variants, including Ashtanga/Vinyasa and Bala yoga). In the following weeks, you'll go deeper into the energetic (Kundalini yoga and triple internal energy: chakras and nadis of the subtle body) and sapiential (Jnana yoga and contemplative approaches) aspects. You will thus evolve gradually following the harmonious structure of the Mandala, which gives the basis of the training program.

Excursions, trekking and meditative walks, paddle outings and visits to sites, villages and beaches, are planned in the course of the YTT training.
