Centered Yoga Institute leads one of the most professional training programs available today for both teachers and those deepening their practice. This residential intensive immerses the student deep into asana practice and study, pranayama, philosophy, anatomy, diet, chanting, and meditation. All take place on our private beach retreat center. See our website for complete details. We also go from foundation course level to advanced courses. The foundation course is preceded by five months of assignments sent via email to be done in your home place. All our courses are Yoga Alliance-accredited, though they surpass the requirements in terms of material and offering.

The primary teacher, Paul, is the most senior student of Sri O.P. Tiwari, head of the Kaivalyadham and known as one of the few remaining classical masters of pranayama and yogic techniques. Paul is also one of a few in the world to be certified by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Ashtanga Vinyasa. Paul's classical and thorough training influences the teaching and techniques of this training program. The two master traditions of Kuvlayananda-Tiwari and Krishnamacharya-Pattabhi Jois make the learning unique and highly authentic.

Our aim is only to pass on correct practice within this modern setting so that the optimum growth for the student arises. It is from there the inner platform for teaching may come. Of primary importance is the depth of practice and experience the student gains in her/his practice. We are aware that this is but a step in one's continuing growth and development.
