The Yoga School NY

Whats the vibe?

The Yoga School New York has offered Yoga-Alliance-registered 200 hour teacher trainings and advanced 500 hour teacher trainings in the Krishnamacharya tradition for two decades.

 Our yoga teacher trainings are unique, featuring:

 •    Small class sizes
 •    Year-long trainings, providing time to integrate the studies
 •    In-person classes, with online options
 •    Development of a personal practice, with mentoring by TYSNY director, at no extra charge.

We also provide ongoing workshops, group classes, and individual yoga therapy sessions. At The Yoga School NY, asana is more than just exercise. Our tradition emphasizes movement initiated by conscious breath, to ensure sthira and sukha—stability and ease—as we practice, and to invigorate, strengthen, and relax our minds and our bodies. Asana—physical poses—are considered preparation for pranayama and meditation, and even beginning students learn classic breathing exercises. As the historical, philosophical basis underlying yoga, the Yoga Sutra teachings are fundamental to our studies; students also learn mantra chanting.

Our teachings are informed by our direct study in this tradition with TKV Desikachar, son of T. Krishnamacharya, considered “the father of modern yoga.” The Yoga School NY today continues under the guidance of our senior teachers in the Krishnamacharya tradition.

The Yoga School provides programs directly focused on the teachings of Sri Krishnamacharya and TKV Desikachar. Vini Yoga is an individual approach to Yoga, and you will learn how to address every student as they're at, looking at their body and mind, to design a perfect sequence and practice for them. Learn traditional Vedic chanting, techniques for every posture and modifications, and how to structure a class based on the students' needs during this 12-weekend program throughout the year.
