Goa is a beautiful place to practice and study yoga; if you’re travelling here to complete your teacher training, and you’ve never been, you might be wondering what to expect. First, you can expect to spend your free time relaxing on the beach – Goa has some of the best beaches in India and it’s a real luxury to be able to spend your down time here while you complete your yoga teacher training. And, as well as the beach, you’ve got the beautiful Goa-Portugese architecture and culture. But what can you expect from your yoga teacher training itself? Specifically if you’re coming along for a vinyasa yoga TTC in Goa.

Vinyasa yoga has many health benefits. It gets the body moving, building lean muscle mass as you lengthen and strengthen into the asanas. It helps you to synchronize the breath and the movement as you move one breath, one movement, in a sequence. It will help increase your strength and endurance and get your heart rate going through dynamic and powerful movements. In addition, vinyasa yoga benefits you mentally as you focus your mind on the movement and breath and become more present. And, it’s a great way to distress, as when you stretch you are literally releasing tension from your muscles.

What you can expect from a vinyasa yoga TTC in Goa, as well as all the regular modules from a yoga teacher training course – such as yoga philosophy, pranayama and meditation, anatomy and alignment, and possibly even some diverse workshops depending on which school you pick – is to be taught how to structure a vinyasa flow class. Arguably, the best thing about vinyasa yoga is the opportunity to be creative in your classes; if you’ve ever been to a vinyasa flow yoga class you will know that no two classes are ever the same. Through your own practice and experimentation, you will be encouraged to find your unique style of flow; everyone is different and has a different teaching style, and a good vinyasa TTC in Goa will support you in finding your niche and confidence as a teacher. Upon completing your course, you will have designed and delivered your first vinyasa yoga class!

The same yoga and health tips apply to a vinyasa yoga TTC as with any other yoga training program – make sure you have some experience of yoga before you attend (maybe attend some vinyasa flow classes for inspiration), and perhaps consider preparing yourself with a healthy diet and routine so that you are in the best frame of mind before you go. This way you’ll be in a good condition both physically and mentally which will allow you to be fully present in your teacher training course and get the most out of your experience.
