What are the Primary Areas for Study of Associated Yoga and Lifestyle Texts and Teachings?

As a student we need to consider six separate, yet related textual study areas that need to be prioritised and developed as an essential aspect of our Yoga journey and personal development according to the teachings of Krishnamacharya.

Each textual topic offers a range of in-depth Modular Workshops and Courses for your personal study interest and development, or if relevant, professional skills.

“Yoga Practice is an essential part of Yoga Study.
Rather than Yoga Study being an essential part of Yoga Practice.”

The six links below will take you to a page where you can explore an overview of each of the six topics in the Associated Yoga and Lifestyle Texts Study Workshops and Courses that complement the Yoga Practice Techniques and Yoga Theory Study Modular Workshops and Courses.

Study of each of these six primary Associated Yoga Texts topics begin with a 2 day Foundational Module One Core Workshop as a starting point for the student. From there a Further Studies range of 4 day Modular Course options are available. Together they allow a uniquely comprehensive intensive exploration of all facets of textual and lifestyle teachings around Yoga.

“The Art of Viniyoga is a process that moves
from a uniquely personalised Yoga practice
adapted to our outer limitations
towards a uniquely personalised practice
that explores our inner potentials.”
