Art of Vinyasa Yoga Sequencing
In this 4-day training, we’ll unpack peak yoga postures and do a deep dive into various types of sequencing, including Wave Theory, Classic Vinyasa, and Lila Flow. We’ll explore themes and subtle body practices through 2-hour vinyasa yoga classes. This training includes a mix of live and on-demand content.
The Lila School of Vinyasa Yoga 200-Hour Program Provides Students with:
Why Yoga? What yoga means for us in the present day, why do we practice, how should we practice and how can we share it effectively with others?
The Yoga Postures: detailed alignment and anatomy through daily asana labs to break it all down and build it up methodically. Anatomy portion taught by Erin Moon, ERYT-500.
Safety and Options For Everyone: contraindications of yoga poses and variations for all levels of students (how to look at all different types of bodies!)
Hands-on Adjustments: the delicate actions and ethics of touching and assisting others.
Sequencing: an important chapter on intelligently sequencing yoga poses and creating seamless vinyasa flows with a heating element, peak poses and a calming cooldown.
The Roots: philosophy, Sanskrit pronunciation, an overview of various lineages that contribute to the yoga we know today and the history of the yoga tradition.
Pranayama: various breathing techniques and gentle practices to understand our vital life force.
Subtle Body Energies: chakras, nadis and other unseen lines flowing through the body.
The Healing Powers: mantra, meditation and the ancient medicine of Ayurveda.
The Business of Yoga: how to get started, authentically integrating the many hats of a yoga teacher, settling into your own voice, boundaries, honing in on a niche and your passion for teaching.

Commonly Asked Questions:
How long should I have been practicing yoga before attending?
We recommend at least 2 years of Vinyasa (Flow) yoga practice so that you have a basic understanding of all the poses, of your body and the general format for flow classes.Will we practice yoga daily?
Yes, there will be a 2-hour class led by Clara and, on many days, an extra class led by your peer.How much hands-on experience will I get?
You will start practicing teaching each other immediately. You will teach a 60-minute class during the course.How many students do you accept?
We allow for about 15-25 participants in the training depending upon location. We like everyone to have a chance to contribute throughout the training, and a smaller group means more connection!Does this training contribute towards a 300 or 500 hour (if I have already completed a 200-hour training)?
Sadly no. A 300-hour training is a different training altogether, for experienced instructors. Our 200-hour training gives you all the skills and tools needed to jump into the teaching world, as a new teacher. Yet you can always take more than one 200 hour training in your life!Can I take this training even if I don’t want to teach yoga?
Absolutely! You can soak in all the studies and practices without writing the exam or practice-teaching. It’s an incredible opportunity to explore the deepest aspects of yourself, either way. And we often find that many people end up realizing during the course, that they were in fact passionate about teaching all along!How should I prepare for the training?
Read all the books, take yoga classes at least 3 times per week and watch your inbox for homework from us! You will receive your manual on Day 1.What happens if I have to miss a few days?
We cannot allow for more than two days missed, unfortunately (outside of emergency situations). For the time that must be missed, there will be extra assignments and class observations to help make up for contact hours.When does the training fill up?
This is something we cannot predict, we recommend reserving your spot when you have decided. We usually sell out 30 days prior to the start date.
