what our students are saying

YST REVIEWS

“Had I completed this course before my 200HR YTT, I feel as if I would have taken so much more from my Teacher Training rather than just doing my best to keep up. There is so much to learn in such a short period of time that it is hard to take it all in and remember everything. At least with this course, I can go back to previous lessons in the future if I need refreshers or reminders!”

“I can’t recommend this course enough to anyone that’s either brand new to yoga or someone more experienced like myself who has picked up a lot of bad habits along the way and needs to get back to basics to overcome any plateaus or learn to engage muscles or areas that may have been previously overlooked.”

“It is amazing the boost your practice will receive and I noticed a big difference in relation to some chronic back and knee pain that I have been dealing with. I no longer feel those pains during or after my practice because I learned how to align and engage my body properly and safely!”

“YST was enlightening to the fact that “proper” alignment is going to be different based on each individual’s body and gave me the knowledge and know-how to find what proper alignment meant for me, even if that meant doing an easier variation or using props”

“As as person who loves a challenge, I would always try and take each pose to the most difficult level when it was offered in a group class setting. This course taught me that even the seemingly easiest poses can be challenging if proper alignment and engagement is observed”

“I can honestly say that the information on alignment that I learned from this course was more relevant to me than what was offered at my Yoga Teacher Training. YST has taught me the importance of engagement and muscle STRENGTHENING as opposed to just stretching.”

"First of all, I must say I wish I had started my yoga practice with this course to begin with"

"I feel like YST is one of the best things that can happen to me right now because the course, and you, give me motivation to look after myself <3. While watching and practicing Sun Salutations, I felt like I was taking a 1 on 1 lesson with you and that's amazing!"

"I don't think you realize how much information you're giving in this course. It's so comprehensive and it's crazy how luck I am being able to take part in it. So much information in such short lessons. I don’t know how you have managed to do it!”

“The poses are so much harder than I thought they were. I cannot believe how wrong I have been. This is so interesting and eye-opening!!”

“I find it’s really comprehensive! I might even add it’s easy to understand even for non-native English speakers. This course is definitely suitable for anyone internationally. I remember being worried that I won’t understand you, but there’s no problem whatsoever.”

“I am l-o-v-i-n-g the course. I can not thank you enough. Really looking forward to the rest!”

“As you know, I’ve done Yoga with Adriene on YouTube and those lessons definitely lack the important parts of yoga practice. They include Shavasana for sure, but now I’ve learned it’s more than “catching the breath” for a minute. But about pranayama. Totally new. And I loved practicing it - breathing exercises aren’t new to me. It was still different.”

“You are so thorough and the lessons are so full of information that I don’t seem to have any questions so far. I’m getting more than I could ever have hoped for and I’d never have thought there’s so much to know and to learn!”

“I want to thank you for the latest module. It was so informative (as have been the others as well).”

“I must say that I love how it feels like the level of difficulty goes up as the student proceeds. I find it very well planned and very well structured. When it comes to the content of these lessons, because they are comprehensive, and also very unhurried, they are easy to follow.”

“This module is challenging, I must admit. But challenge is great and it’s a great opportunity to improve my practice and also kind of learn something new about myself, my body, my practice and well, obviously yoga”

“I am happy to be able to practice at my own pace and with my variations and not force anything.”

a message from your instructor

“Hi, I’m Christina!

When I initially started my yoga journey I didn’t know the first thing about yoga, but I knew it was something that I wanted to incorporate into my life. When I first started attending classes I experienced a lot of things that were discouraging to me:

- I was attending classes that were way too fast-paced, difficult and confusing for me, and often felt left behind
- I didn’t feel as though I was getting adequate guidance and adjustments from my instructors, so I never knew if I was performing a posture correctly
- I didn’t feel like I had an understanding on what I was actually meant to be doing and lacked body awareness so I felt like I was just going through the motions and trying to make shapes
- I didn’t know how to breathe properly and I didn’t know how to modify poses based on my body’s abilities
- I wanted to just be able to do yoga whenever I wanted, wherever I wanted without any guidance, but didn’t know any sequences to be able to do this

It wasn’t until I completed my first Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) that I had a good foundation of knowledge of the practice and started to feel confident enough to develop my own yoga practice.

I wanted to create a program for those that feel the same way I did, and for those that don’t have enough confidence or knowledge base to attend their first yoga class. So I created a comprehensive 20 hour course for those that want to start their yoga practice at home or deepen their self-practice without having the need to go through extensive training. This program allows you to start your yoga journey right here, right now. And for those that want to deepen your understanding of the physical practice as a student of yoga rather than a teacher (hence the name Yoga STUDENT Training - YST). I know that not everyone wants to become an yoga instructor, and not everyone has the time, money and/or energy to take a YTT to start their practice or further their self-practice.

Whether you are an absolute beginner (like I once was) or are looking to improve your current practice, I hope you get as much out of this program as I have put into it. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be part of your yoga journey!”

faq (frequently asked questions)

about the program

  • To start this course, you will not need anything, except maybe paper and a pen if you would like to take notes. We have specific lessons on what you will need to start your yoga practice, as well as checklists. If you want to be more prepared right away, you could purchase yoga mat or a have household alternative such as a large towel ready.

    If you are looking for recommendations on yoga mats and props, we suggest BYoga mats and Halfmoon props and accessories as this is what we use throughout the course. Enjoy a 15% discount using the discount code YOGAALIGNMENT15.

  • Yes! Not many of us are blessed with naturally flexible bodies. This course provides you with information of how to practice yoga poses according to your level of flexibility, strength, mobility and anatomy. We provide many ways to modify these poses to suit your body with and without yoga props (blocks, straps, bolsters, etc).

  • Absolutely! This course is packed with comprehensive information of the yoga practice and allows you to get started on your yoga journey with a clear understanding so you can start practicing safely and effectively! Whether you plan to attend group classes or start your own practice, this course is the perfect way to begin your yoga practice!

  • The short answer is YES! This course is packed with so much information about the practice of yoga that you will be able to have a stronger practice in classes, or be able to start mastering your self practice

  • Absolutely! This course will provide you with everything you will need to begin a safe and effective self yoga practice. We provide you with examples of how to formulate your self practice, examples of pranayama and meditation you can include in your practice and a heavy focus on body awareness and aligning the body. You’ll learn Sun Salutations in great depth and be provided with guided classes that you can use to start your self practice!

  • If you plan on becoming an instructor in the future and taking a YTTC (Yoga Teacher Training Course), this course will actually help you prepare for your training and become a better instructor. Some of the information you receive will be similar depending on what kind of training you are taking and other information that is provided is not often taught in YTTs. This course is heavily focused on alignment and awareness of the body, whereas a YTT will be all-encompassing of the yoga practice. For example, in this course we move through very basic anatomy and in a YTT you will receive anatomy training in much greater detail. You will also learn about all 8 limbs of yoga in a YTT, whereas in this course we focus on 3 (asana, pranayama, dhyana), with a heavy focus on asana. Having a solid understanding of the asana practice will help you focus on other aspects of your YTT and really make the most of that incredible experience!

health-related questions

  • Anybody can take this course to benefit from the wealth of information provided, however, the physical movements and body positioning involved in this course may not be suitable for pregnant bodies. We do not provide prenatal specific modifications. We strongly recommend working with a prenatal yoga instructor and discussing practicing yoga with your doctor or qualified healthcare practitioner before starting your yoga asana (postures) and pranayama (breathwork) practice.

  • Unfortunately not. We provide contraindications for every posture so that you can be aware of which poses may affect certain health issues, but this is not a fully comprehensive list (although we tried our best) and we do not provide specific modifications for each and every health condition. We strongly recommend speaking with your doctor or qualified healthcare provider before starting the physical practice of yoga postures (asana) and breathing exercises (pranayama) and the modifying as recommended.

    Roughly 8 hours of the course are information based in lectures and presentations that may be completed in as little as a few days. The other 12 hours are focused on the physical practice: body positioning and alignment cues, postures, Sun Salutation sequences progressing from accessible to advanced and classes to practice.

    Depending how far you want to advance through Sun Salutations, it could take weeks or months of practice (or years for some) to move up to the full or advanced sequences.

    With that said, the information presented throughout the course will be helpful to go back to as you progress in your practice, and having access to it will be very beneficial through your yoga journey.
