3. Training- 35 Day 26×2 Bikram-Inspired 200 Hour Vinyasa Hot Yoga Teacher Training
Location- Barcelona, Spain

Prices from Euro $3560

Every day during the training, you will start with a hot vinyasa asana practice with pranayama breathing for about 1.5 – 2 hours. This would also sometimes include meditation, after which you will have a very short break. From there, you will either go into alignment or theory (philosophy, chakras, Ayurveda, adjustments, anatomy, learning to sequence, etc.).

The first 2 weeks are more on theory and practicing different types of yoga-like yin and restorative. The final 2 weeks of the training are more on practice teaching where you learn how to sequence Vinyasa classes, practice teaching with blocks, straps, and blankets, learn how to adjust students, how to deal with injuries and variations of postures, as well as prenatal and acro yoga.

The 26×2 training is a 2 week intensive course with a lot of practice. There will be very little theory such as philosophy or anatomy as you will have done that in the vinyasa portion of the course. You will practice the 90min series twice a day, once in the morning and also in afternoon. You will go over alignment of the 26 asanas as well as some easier variations of those poses.
