The cornerstone of the Dynamic Mindfulness method is a contemporary fusion of holistic asana flow and Buddhist mindfulness meditation. The approach to sequencing is a carefully crafted blend that incorporates:

1. Focus on transitions and sequenced asana flow that supports healthy spine and joints, informed by biomechanics 

2. Moving in a  tridimensional way, through waves and spirals rather than linearly  

3. Balance of strength and mobility in physical practice 

4. Dynamic repetition and ‘pulsations’ in an individual asana – balancing effort and ease  and working with the nervous system

5. The idea that the practice should be individualized through variations and modifications of poses  and creative use of props

6. Sun Salutation and its variations are a main sequencing frame

7. Sufficient time to fully relax and/or sit in meditation at the end of the class 

Our mission is to provide a solid foundation in the theory and practice of Yoga and meditation in the context of the 21st century. 

The central perspective of Dynamic Mindfulness emerges from Buddhist philosophy, ethics and methodology, specifically the Chan school of Buddhism. From there we venture into comparative perspectives on Yoga. 

Once you understand this method, you will be able to experience and teach it in different environments.

Our yoga teacher training has been carefully crafted for a small group of max 15 trainees. You will be guided personally to overcome any obstacles you may encounter so you can receive EXACTLY what you need for moving forward on your yogic journey at this point in your life.

Once per month, you will receive 12–15 hours of video lectures and quizzes that you can complete at your own pace. Each month, you also complete a written assignment related to the lectures, which must be submitted by the end of that month.
In addition, we meet once per month for a 120-minute live call (on Saturdays), and attendance is required. These live calls include group exercises, discussions, integration work, and space for your questions.
Throughout the training, there are also 20 weekly masterclasses. These take place in person and are part of the required training hours. If you cannot attend in person, you may join online. A recording is available for 48 hours afterwards. All 20 masterclasses must be attended either live (in person or online) or watched via recording.

Community is nurtured through the monthly live calls, which include group discussions and shared reflection.
We also meet weekly for the masterclasses. These sessions create a consistent shared space to practice together, ask questions, and stay connected throughout the training.
In addition, there will be a private online group for discussion, questions, and sharing between live sessions.

Yoga Alliance registered program requires a minimum of 20 hours of personal study time. However, between your homework, personal practice and study time, you will probably easily exceed this minimum requirement. Most trainees invest 50-60 additional hours out-of-training on average during a full course.

While Yoga Alliance requires 100% attendance to successfully complete your training and receive a Graduation Certificate, we understand that sometimes things come up. If you know in advance you will be unable to attend a session, “make-up” options are available. This requires additional scheduling and costs. The cost of a private session ranges from 60 – 90 EUR per hour.

Please note that you can miss a maximum of 18 training hours, and you will have one year from the last day of your program to complete your attendance requirements. If you miss more than 18 hours or do not complete your make up hours within one year, you will not receive a passing status and you will be required to pay in full to retake the training.

In the case of pregnancy or a serious injury, the missing sessions can be made up in the next yoga teacher training. Application for this extension needs to be filed minimum 14 days before the missed sessions occur. If the training is sold out or cancelled, you will need to wait for a future training with space available to complete your make up(s).
