Notre stage de 5 jours en yoga de l’alignement se tient uniquement sur la plage d’Arambol, à Goa, à partir de 150 USD pour la formation seule (ou 250 USD avec repas et hébergement), en sessions à dates fixes de novembre 2026 à mars 2027. Avec briques, sangles, bolsters, chaises et cordes murales, chaque journée prend une région du corps : les jambes, la colonne, les épaules, les inversions soutenues, puis une pratique complète. Il convient aux corps raides comme aux débutants. Envie de plus de temps ? Le stage intensif de 9 jours en yoga de l’alignement reprend la même méthode sur neuf jours.
Alpesh Yoga, fondée par Alpesh Patwari en 2014 · Dernière mise à jour
Maîtrisez les fondamentaux du yoga centré sur l’alignement avec notre stage ciblé de 5 jours. Il est conçu pour les élèves qui veulent améliorer leur posture, leur précision, leur stabilité et leur conscience du corps, et il porte sur l’alignement juste, les ajustements sûrs et le mouvement conscient. Les cours couvrent l’alignement correct de chaque posture, les ajustements, les questions de sécurité, l’art d’utiliser les supports et le séquençage — la formule résidentielle comprenant les repas végétariens quotidiens, le petit déjeuner, le café et le thé. Chacune des cinq journées prend une région du corps et la travaille pour de bon : les pieds et les jambes, puis le bassin et la colonne, puis les épaules, puis les inversions soutenues, et enfin une pratique entière où tout doit tenir ensemble en même temps. Briques, sangles, bolsters, chaises et les cordes murales de la shala sont en usage dès le premier matin — et non sortis à la fin pour ceux qui n’atteignent pas le sol. Avec sa version longue, le stage intensif de 9 jours en yoga de l’alignement, c’est ce que nous proposons de plus technique par journée ; il se tient sur notre campus d’Arambol, en sessions à dates fixes de novembre 2026 à mars 2027.
Un alignement corporel juste
Comprendre la posture et l’alignement corrects de chaque position pour bâtir une pratique sûre et efficace.
L’usage des supports
Apprendre à utiliser briques, sangles, bolsters, chaises et autres supports pour gagner en souplesse et en soutien.
Des ajustements sûrs
Développer l’œil pour les erreurs fréquentes, la prévention des blessures et la correction juste dans chaque posture.
Souffle et concentration
Associer les techniques respiratoires au mouvement pour améliorer la concentration et la conscience du corps.
Est-ce vous ?
À qui s'adresse ce programme
Vous allez à des cours de flow depuis des années et personne ne vous a jamais dit ce que votre jambe arrière est censée faire.
Vous êtes raide, et chaque cours que vous suivez semble conçu pour des gens qui ne le sont pas. Les supports sont la réponse, et ici ils sont sur le tapis dès le premier matin.
Vous avez une gêne — une épaule, un bas du dos, un genou — qui se réveille en cours, et vous voulez savoir quelle habitude d’alignement en est la cause.
Vous démarrez bientôt une formation de professeur et vous préférez arriver avec des fondamentaux propres plutôt que passer la première semaine à désapprendre.
Vous enseignez déjà, et votre œil pour l’alignement est la partie de votre enseignement dont vous êtes le moins sûr.
Vous voulez un stage court avec une plage à cinq minutes — mais vous voulez que le stage soit l’objet de la semaine.
Ce que vous emportez avec vous
Vous tenir debout, fléchir, tourner et cambrer avec le principe d’alignement derrière chaque forme, pour vous corriger vous-même au lieu d’attendre qu’on le fasse
Choisir le bon support pour la bonne raison — brique, sangle, bolster, chaise ou mur — plutôt que d’attraper ce qui traîne à côté
Adapter n’importe quelle posture de base à vos proportions et à vos limites, un bon jour comme un jour raide
Pratiquer seul chez vous sans danger, y compris les postures que la plupart ratent discrètement quand personne ne regarde
Monter et redescendre d’une inversion soutenue sans charger vos cervicales, et savoir quand ne pas monter du tout
Vous asseoir dans n’importe quel cours, n’importe où, et remarquer ce que le professeur ne dit pas sur l’alignement
Le parcours
Jour après jour
Jour 1
Fondations : pieds, chevilles et jambes
Là où l’alignement commence vraiment. Tadasana pris au sérieux, les voûtes plantaires et les chevilles, puis les postures debout qui en dépendent — triangle, guerrier II, angle latéral — avec une brique et une sangle, pour que la forme soit juste avant d’être profonde.
Jour 2
Le bassin et la colonne
Bassin neutre, ce que la rétroversion et l’antéversion font au bas du dos, et comment cela se joue dans les flexions avant, les fentes et les torsions. Bolster et chaise en soutien pour que la colonne s’allonge au lieu de s’arrondir. C’est la journée où la plupart des douleurs lombaires trouvent leur origine.
Jour 3
Épaules, bras et haut du dos
La mécanique de l’épaule dans le chien tête en bas, la planche, chaturanga et le travail au-dessus de la tête — les postures qui causent discrètement le plus d’ennuis d’épaule. Travail à la sangle en haut des bras, travail au mur, et la différence entre ouvrir une poitrine et écraser un bas du dos.
Jour 4
Inversions et extensions arrière avec support
Chandelle soutenue, halasana et jambes au mur avec chaises et bolsters, plus des extensions arrière sur bolster. Enseignées avec les contre-indications dites à voix haute : cervicales fragiles, hypertension, grossesse, règles.
Jour 5
Tout assembler : une pratique complète
Une pratique entièrement séquencée reprenant les quatre jours précédents, menée en grande partie par vous-même pendant que les enseignants circulent et corrigent. Puis une séance sur la construction d’une pratique à la maison que vous ferez vraiment, et un cercle de clôture.
Cinq jours, cinq régions du corps, chacune avec ses principes d’alignement, son travail avec supports et ses erreurs caractéristiques. C’est la moitié technique du programme de nos formations de professeurs, enseignée seule — sans examen d’anatomie, sans pédagogie et sans évaluation finale.

It was all I needed: two different kinds of asana practices that complemented each other, plus pranayama and yoga theory. It was all really well explained! Moreover, I felt at home!
Vous apprenez auprès d’une école enregistrée Yoga Alliance — le même standard d’enseignement accrédité que celui de nos formations de professeur reconnues à l’international.
La sagesse yogique traditionnelle
Hatha alignement, Hatha Vinyasa Flow, pranayama, méditation et philosophie authentiques, transmis par l’enseignement yogique traditionnel plutôt que par une approche fitness de studio.
Des enseignants expérimentés
Des professeurs de yoga expérimentés vous accompagnent personnellement, avec des corrections manuelles, pendant toute votre retraite.
Une communauté internationale
Vous rejoignez des élèves venus du monde entier, qui pratiquent ensemble dans un petit groupe qui se soutient.
De 5 jours à 300 heures
Commencez par une retraite courte, puis poursuivez plus tard par une formation complète de 100, 200 ou 300 heures, sur l’un ou l’autre campus — le même enseignement, à des profondeurs différentes.
Des lieux d’apprentissage magnifiques
Pratiquez dans le calme de la plage d’Arambol, à Goa, ou de Bhagsu, à Dharamshala — des cadres pensés pour la concentration, la réparation et l’évolution personnelle.
Alpesh Patwari
Fondateur et enseignant principal · Plus de 22 ans
Professeur enregistré Yoga Alliance
Fondateur et professeur principal d’Alpesh Yoga, et l’un des professeurs de yoga centré sur l’alignement les plus expérimentés. Depuis 21 ans, Alpesh enseigne l’alignement : postures précises, accessoires et ajustements manuels qui rendent chaque posture sûre pour tous les corps.
Le programme technique. Avec sa version longue, le stage intensif de 9 jours en yoga de l’alignement, c’est l’un des deux seuls programmes qui donnent à une région du corps sa propre journée. L’intensif de 50 heures intègre l’alignement dans un emploi du temps plus large, fait de flow, de philosophie et de méditation, à raison d’environ huit heures guidées par jour ; l’immersion de 5 jours en yoga et méditation part exactement dans l’autre sens, vers le souffle et l’assise. Venez ici si ce que vous voulez corriger, c’est votre façon de vous tenir, de fléchir et de cambrer, et que vous avez une semaine. Les deux stages d’alignement ne se tiennent qu’à Goa ; celui de 9 jours ajoute les équilibres debout, les hanches, les torsions et les extensions arrière, chacun sur sa propre journée, pour quand cinq jours ne suffisent pas.
Une formation de 200 heures étale les mêmes principes d’alignement sur trois semaines et les entoure d’anatomie, de philosophie, de pédagogie, d’enseignement supervisé et d’une évaluation. Ce stage en extrait la technique et l’enseigne seule pendant cinq jours, ce qui en fait deux choses utiles à la fois : un stage court et pointu pour un pratiquant sans projet d’enseigner, et la meilleure préparation possible pour quelqu’un qui démarre une formation et ne veut pas passer la première semaine à désapprendre.
Des chambres simples et confortables à quelques minutes à pied du shala, avec trois repas végétariens maison par jour. Chambre partagée ou individuelle, sur les deux campus.
I took the 8-day alignment with Alpesh, which was an amazing experience. As a beginner, the course was challenging, and I learned so much about the practice of yoga. I had been in a 30-day retreat prior to this course, and I learned much more here in 8 days with Alpesh than in the entirety of the 30 days.
If you really want to learn how to do all the asanas properly, enjoy all the benefits of each one, and then teach asanas properly to your students, this is your place. I took the 9-day intensive alignment course and then continued going for drop-in. I can see how my practice has improved.
I recently completed a yoga program at Alpesh Yoga School, and I am genuinely impressed with the transformative experience it provided. Alpesh is knowledgeable, patient, and creates a welcoming atmosphere for practitioners of all levels.
“Yoga from the heart.” Travelled from Denmark specifically for a 10-day retreat: “developed me more in 10 days than any other yoga teacher… definitely the best yoga instructor in Dharamsala.”
Came here as a complete beginner of yoga to do the 200h TTC. The amount of improvement I felt over this short time was really incredible to be honest. I learned a lot and the atmosphere here is just very welcoming and supportive, like a little family.
I’ve just completed my 200-hour TTC with Alpesh, and the experience was truly transformative. Alpesh’s teaching is one of a kind—deeply foundational and refreshingly authentic. The consistent emphasis on alignment and muscle activation, day in and day out, rather than rushing into Instagrammable poses, is nothing short of revolutionary.
"Leave your shoes and ego outside the shala".
Alpesh’s "serious" tone and almost obsessive cues during class hide a big-hearted human being who is deeply attentive to everyone’s individual needs.
Weeks after the course, you’ll still hear his cues echoing in your mind—“kneecaps up” and “hip squeeze”—and that’s a very good sign 😊. The training is thoughtfully structured, and the two additional teachers Maithily and Rashmi are equally knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely wonderful human beings.
I would recommend this course to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of yoga—not just asana practice, but yoga as a holistic system—using the body and breath as tools to explore far more than physical movement.
BONUS point: the food. Fresh, made from scratch every day with so much love and care. I’m still dreaming about the coriander chutney, masala dosa, and endless rivers of masala chai. I have never felt so blessed.
Alpesh is simply the best! If you’re in India, he is the number one address for authentic and highly knowledgeable yoga classes. I miss this place and all the people so much and hope to come back asap. All the best, Alpesh 🫶🏽
I had the best time. The yoga was truly special, the philosophy classes were inspiring and thoughtfully led. There is much to learn.
What made it truly unique was the atmosphere—it felt like being part of a family.
I recently completed my ttc and am so happy i chose Alpeshyoga school. I was welcomed like in a family.
The teachers are fantastic, the morning classes with Alpesh are the best i've ever taken. He manages to convey his deep understanding of alignments with extreme precision and passion. Maithily, the theory teacher, with her incredible knowledge and culture, was able to explain her lessons with extreme clarity, always making the class enjoyable and engaging. And finally, Rashmi, with her empathy and depth of soul... Made the evening practices a unique experience that i recommend to everyone. And the food prepared with love by two very sweet ladies... Amazing!
For me, they were not just teachers but also true friends...
This experience has brought profound changes to me.
I thank them all and hope to join them soon for another journey together🙏
Alpesh thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have an amazing alignment course with this school! The other teachers and the food is incredible as well. I recommend this place for anyone who is searching to learn something and more about yoga ❤️
It’s difficult to explain how I felt during the 5 day course I did in Alpesh Yoga.
But in a few words, it was all what I need. Two different kind of asana practices which complemented each other, plus pranayama and yoga theory. All really well explained!
Moreover I felt like home! All the teachers were welcoming, and all of the know what they were talking about. They were open-minded and they listenend to me when I had questions (I had a lot) even I considered them silly!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
Alpesh is a very good yoga teacher. Although I have been a yoga teacher who has been practicing yoga regularly for years, I have experienced great expansions both physically and spiritually. He holds space very well, knows the body very well and works it like an architect day by day, and he is also very cute. I want to attend his classes again next year for at least 2 months. Alpesh Yoga is the meeting point for yogis and yoginis of all ages from different cultures🪷 Thank you Alpesh

I had been in a 30 day retreat prior to this course and I learned much more here in 8 days with Alpesh than in the entirety of the 30 days. Alpesh and the other students in the program were also a joy to be around and felt like family. Alpesh even helped me book my train ticket to Mumbai and make sure I got to my destination safely as a first time traveler in India. Would love to take future courses with Alpesh.
I am happy that I chose to study with Alpesh. The teacher training course was professional and experiential. I am already looking forward to returning for further training.

Beautiful place and beautiful people, teachers with great knowledge and passion, alpesh yoga is a great place to gain experience, practice under the supervision of great teachers and wonderful people, from all over the world. I recommend it with all my heart 🌼
I first met Alpesh in March last year while traveling through India. I attended a drop-in class and ended up staying for five days. Eventually, I continued my travels, attending yoga classes wherever I went—but none of them ever felt the same as with him.
For months, our schedules didn’t align for a Yoga Teacher Training (YTT), but finally, in December, I had the opportunity to attend his course. It was one of the best decisions I made. Alpesh is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced teacher who truly understands each student’s individual needs. He pushes you beyond what you think you’re capable of while always ensuring that your practice is safe and aligned. As someone with back issues I deeply appreciated his ability to modify asanas for me, making yoga more accessible while still challenging.
If you’re looking for a teacher who will challenge you, support you, and help you grow—not just in asanas but in understanding yoga at a deeper level—I highly recommend learning from Alpesh and his team.
This was the highlight if my year this year. At first i was kind of frustrated because it wasn’t like the studio we used to see in social media. But being here was a transformation i never expected, alpesh is a good teacher, he can be strict but for me its how it should be, a teacher should always push his students to their limits to learn. I enjoyed my time here and i wished i could’ve stayed longer❤️

Thank you, Alpesh, for your wonderful energy, your sense of humor, and your intense classes with excellent corrections. I've admired how you've worked with each of us, despite our different languages and levels. Excellent teacher! Thanks to you, I've returned to yoga and I hope to come back next year.
I’m so happy I completed my TTC with Alpesh. He’s an amazing teacher and practitioner whose classes are simply the best I’ve ever attended, on any continent.
During the course, I sometimes asked myself if it was easy or difficult, and while the difficult aspect was there, it was purely physical. Learning from Alpesh and Rashmi about yoga was a privilege, and every minute at the school was so precious. The truth is, once you’re there, you feel at home and simply don’t want to leave :)
I miss the school so much already, and I feel so, so grateful for the time there! ❤️
I was incredibly lucky to be the only one in my 100-hour TTC course and received exceptional support. The yoga classes were excellent, and all the teachers were very friendly. Alpesh took me under his wing, and I experienced everything as relaxed and very welcoming. I'm grateful for this wonderful experience at Alpesh Yoga and would book there again in a heartbeat.
I recently completed my yoga training with Alpesh Yoga Goa and had a great experience. It really felt like home. Alpesh is a wonderful teacher — a perfect mix of strict and soft — and his teaching is clear, knowledgeable, and straight to the point. The food was also delicious and very nourishing. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and well-structured yoga experience in Goa.
Alpesh is a very experienced and talented yoga teacher. I have been visiting Arambol for many winter holidays and attend Alpesh classes to improve and strengthen my yoga practice. The classes are very focused, alignment is key to get flow. After three weeks I leave much stronger with much improved posture (sternum up, shoulders back, courage). In Alpesh classes I have become good at headstands and other yoga poses I thought were outside of my reach. Its important for me to Listen to learn and I make an effort. (Mostly;) Alpesh yoga studio attracts good interesting people who are fun and supportive. A great environment to learn, grow, connect and have fun.
Thank you Alpesh yoga school. I love the studio and energy. Sean London
I have gone to many of Alpesh’s drop in sessions, and decided to do the 5 day alignment course with him! I couldn’t recommend his yoga school enough - he is the best yoga teacher I found throughout India. He is so knowledgeable, firm but very kind and focuses on precise adjustments that change the whole pose. He has taught me so much about yoga, especially all the details you miss out on if you are just practicing in the West! I will be back whenever I am in Goa/Dharamshala - thank you Alpesh!
Fantastic teacher. Gave me (a novice) confidence to try all moves in the class. All yoga moves were carefully observed and adapted to the experience and ability of each participant. Will definitely be back next time I am in Arambol
Completing the 200hr yoga teacher training course has been a dream of mine for quite a few years now and being able to come to India for this reason was so important. But just as important was finding the right school. I knew I wanted to find a place near the beach which led me onto searching around Goa. When I came across Alpesh Yoga I really felt like this was the place I was meant to complete the course. Their website/instagram and other social media have lots to explore and you can really get a feel for what Alpesh has created at his yoga school. I really appreciated the abundant information and prompt communication from Alpesh when inquiring into what course would be best for me.
Once I arrived in Goa, all of the teachers welcomed the students with an opening ceremony in the morning before we started our first class. I felt at home right away. My days during the 200 hour teacher training course were really well structured with a good balance between time in the classroom and time on the mat and the food was absolutely delicious. All 3 of my teachers brought with them so much insight and knowledge and were able to deliver it to us effectively with clear communication. I really enjoyed Alpesh's style of teaching, where he is direct and clear with his instructions, involves everyone in the class and gives a profound insight into the benefits of each Asana. All 3 teachers brought their own unique perspectives and helped guide me deeper into my own practice whilst also learning how to guide students myself. I was also lucky enough to share this experience with the other students.
Being a stones throw away from the beach allowed me to really enjoy my free/study time each week, with lots of little villages and towns around Arambol to explore too. I really felt like I found the most amazing place to complete my course and I am grateful to have been led to Alpesh yoga.
Thank you for everything Alpesh, I hope to return next season 🙏🏻
Best place to practise yoga - well structured classes with high experienced teacher; great atmosphere, I would definitely come back to Alpesh’s yoga place in Arambol
I’ve been practicing yoga for five years and I improved more in one month here than in all my previous practice.
Alpesh is a dedicated and truly excellent teacher. The Shala is welcoming and the people are serious practitioners.
Loved practicing here for more than a month, and I’m coming back next season for the TTC for sure. 10/10 recommend 🙏🏼
Attending Alpesh’s yoga classes is not only highly informative and inspiring but also a lot of fun! Practicing yoga with a true master is a great privilege! Do not miss this opportunity if you’re in Arambol.
I enjoyed my time at alpesh's school a lot and learned so much. As I came as a beginner I wouldn't feel comfortable teaching after the ytt but I have a learned a lot about my body and feel much better even weeks after coming home. Thanks alpesh- you are a hero!
I have been doing yoga in many places around the world and around india, and this one might be the best place I've tried. The teachers are very professional. Overall an amazing place if you look for a yoga place in Arambol definitely try this one
Thank you, Alpesh, for your wonderful energy, your sense of humor, and your intense classes with excellent corrections.

Completing the 200hr yoga teacher training course has been a dream of mine for quite a few years now and being able to come to India for this reason was so important. But just as important was finding the right school. I knew I wanted to find a place near the beach which led me onto searching around Goa. When I came across Alpesh Yoga I really felt like this was the place I was meant to complete the course. Their website/instagram and other social media have lots to explore and you can really get a feel for what Alpesh has created at his yoga school. I really appreciated the abundant information and prompt communication from Alpesh when inquiring into what course would be best for me.
Once I arrived in Goa, all of the teachers welcomed the students with an opening ceremony in the morning before we started our first class. I felt at home right away. My days during the 200 hour teacher training course were really well structured with a good balance between time in the classroom and time on the mat and the food was absolutely delicious. All 3 of my teachers brought with them so much insight and knowledge and were able to deliver it to us effectively with clear communication. I really enjoyed Alpesh's style of teaching, where he is direct and clear with his instructions, involves everyone in the class and gives a profound insight into the benefits of each Asana. All 3 teachers brought their own unique perspectives and helped guide me deeper into my own practice whilst also learning how to guide students myself. I was also lucky enough to share this experience with the other students.
Being a stones throw away from the beach allowed me to really enjoy my free/study time each week, with lots of little villages and towns around Arambol to explore too. I really felt like I found the most amazing place to complete my course and I am grateful to have been led to Alpesh yoga.
Thank you for everything Alpesh, I hope to return next season 🙏🏻
Best place to practise yoga - well structured classes with high experienced teacher; great atmosphere, I would definitely come back to Alpesh’s yoga place in Arambol
I’ve been practicing yoga for five years and I improved more in one month here than in all my previous practice.
Alpesh is a dedicated and truly excellent teacher. The Shala is welcoming and the people are serious practitioners.
Loved practicing here for more than a month, and I’m coming back next season for the TTC for sure. 10/10 recommend 🙏🏼
Attending Alpesh’s yoga classes is not only highly informative and inspiring but also a lot of fun! Practicing yoga with a true master is a great privilege! Do not miss this opportunity if you’re in Arambol.
I enjoyed my time at alpesh's school a lot and learned so much. As I came as a beginner I wouldn't feel comfortable teaching after the ytt but I have a learned a lot about my body and feel much better even weeks after coming home. Thanks alpesh- you are a hero!
I have been doing yoga in many places around the world and around india, and this one might be the best place I've tried. The teachers are very professional. Overall an amazing place if you look for a yoga place in Arambol definitely try this one
À l’une des dates de session fixes entre le 9 novembre 2026 et le 21 mars 2027 — la liste complète figure dans le tableau des dates de cette page, avec une session de Noël du 23 au 27 décembre. Choisissez votre session en réservant et nous confirmons votre place sous 24 heures.
Une approche précise et thérapeutique qui insiste sur l’alignement méticuleux, la sécurité et l’usage des supports pour trouver l’intégrité de chaque posture. Le fondateur Alpesh Patwari se forme dans cette tradition auprès d’Usha Devi à Rishikesh depuis 2006.
Absolument — les supports existent précisément pour que chaque corps trouve un alignement sûr et juste. Ce stage est l’une des meilleures portes d’entrée dans le yoga si votre souplesse vous a freiné jusqu’ici.
De novembre à mars, en sessions à dates fixes à la shala d’Arambol — cette saison, du 9 novembre 2026 au 21 mars 2027, avec les dates listées sur cette page. De mai à septembre, notre enseignement se déplace à Bhagsu, Dharamshala. Ce stage-ci se tient uniquement à Goa : si vous voyagez entre mai et septembre, demandez-nous l’intensif de 50 heures ou l’immersion de 5 jours en yoga et méditation, dans l’Himalaya.
Même méthode, mêmes supports, même shala. Cinq jours couvrent les fondations — jambes, bassin et colonne, épaules et une inversion avec support — et se terminent par une pratique complète. Le stage intensif de 9 jours en yoga de l’alignement va plus loin et ajoute les équilibres debout, les hanches, les torsions et les extensions arrière, chacun sur sa propre journée, une journée plus légère au milieu et le temps de construire une séquence pour votre propre corps. Choisissez cinq jours pour assainir vos fondamentaux en une semaine ; choisissez-en neuf pour travailler tout le corps à fond.
Pour Noël, oui : une session a lieu du 23 au 27 décembre à la shala d’Arambol. Si vous voulez continuer à pratiquer jusqu’à la Saint-Sylvestre, le stage intensif de 9 jours en yoga de l’alignement propose une session du 23 au 31 décembre.
Environ cinq heures guidées réparties en quatre blocs : la pratique du matin, une séance de théorie en milieu de journée sur les ajustements, la sécurité et le séquençage, le travail appliqué avec supports en fin d’après-midi, et une courte séance de respiration et de pratique restaurative avant le dîner. Le début de matinée et le milieu de l’après-midi sont à vous, et la plage d’Arambol est à quelques minutes.
Toute personne qui veut une semaine transpirante et fluide : c’est un travail lent et précis, avec beaucoup d’arrêts pour regarder ce que fait une articulation. Signalez blessures, grossesse, hypertension, problèmes cervicaux ou opération récente dans votre réservation — la journée d’inversions en particulier est alors modifiée ou remplacée, et nous préférons le prévoir avant votre arrivée plutôt que le matin même.
Simplement des vêtements de pratique confortables, une gourde et un carnet. Tous les supports — tapis, briques, sangles, bolsters et chaises — sont fournis à la shala, avec un guide de référence que vous gardez.
C’est l’une des meilleures façons de passer la semaine qui la précède. Rien n’est validé comme équivalence pour notre formation de professeur de yoga de 100 heures à Goa ni pour une formation de 200 heures, mais vous arrivez avec des fondamentaux propres, et c’est toute la différence entre une première semaine passée à apprendre et une première semaine passée à désapprendre. Vous pouvez réserver les deux à la suite si les dates s’enchaînent.
C’est peu probable. La plupart des participants aux stages courts arrivent seuls, le groupe est assez petit pour que tout le monde se connaisse dès le deuxième jour, et la formule résidentielle vous loge à quelques portes du reste du stage. Les couples et les amis peuvent partager une chambre en formule résidentielle — mentionnez-le dans votre réservation.
