What people said about this course

"The Yoga Moves Going Deeper course has truly transformed my yoga practice. The teachers are knowledgeable and supportive, and the small group experience allows for personalized attention. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to take their yoga journey to the next level." - Sarah M.

"I've been teaching yoga for years, but this course has given me a whole new perspective on my personal practice. It has provided me with a refreshed foundation that has positively influenced my teaching. Thank you, Yoga Moves!" - John L.

The Going Deeper course offered me much more than I expected. We explored different angles of yoga and I am more confident with my self-practice (with correct use of muscles and alignment). I am deeply grateful for all the knowledge and kindness the teachers provided to me, as well as the happy yoga friends I met during the course. 
-Adiphol D

The course lives up to its name: it gives you the opportunity to learn more not only about yoga (its origins, the philosophy behind it, the technique) but also about yourself and how you relate to all that. The supportive atmosphere in the group and the teachers' dedication.

WHAT IS YOGA?

There are many definitions and interpretations about yoga. We give you some of the most current ones:

- Yoga is freedom, it is love. It is pure, radiant, unobstructed joy. It is pure awareness, wide-awake and clear.

- Yoga’s highest purpose is to help practitioners in realizing true happiness, freedom, or enlightenment.

- However, Yoga has a number of secondary goals, such as physical health, mental harmony, and emotional
balance. In its most integrated form, Yoga seeks to unlock our full human potential.
