The aim of this yoga teacher training is to explore the practices and philosophies of yoga, as well as their influences and background. Initiated and designed by Berlin-based Jivamukti Yoga teacher and mentor Sandra Gerhard, it includes exploration of the inner forms of yoga, study of the scriptures and practice of pranayama and kriya. Sandra’s intention is that teaching becomes a natural outcome of the practice itself. The method taught is vinyasa, strongly influenced by the traditional Ashtanga Yoga method. The ‘eight-limbed path’ (Sanskrit: Aṣṭāṅga = eight-limbed) of Yoga according to Patanjali is the base of the teacher's practices and teachings.

“The state of yoga is pure consciousness, samadhi. The yoga practices help us to expand our own consciousness and move through life with more mindfulness and compassion.”

- Sandra Gerhard (Founder of PRACTICE Yoga Berlin)
