Drop your life for 100% focus! Go deep!

23 days straight. 8 hours daily.

The GAVY 200 is foundational training for serious practitioners and aspiring teachers, based on the traditional form of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. The way that GAVY founder, Michael Gannon, learned it during 10-years of visits to India, training with his late Guru, Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois. AND, we take it a giant step beyond, making this system digestible for the western mind. This GAVY 200 Teacher Apprenticeship foundation program has graduated over 200 teachers from 30 countries to teach Yoga.

At GAVY, we know that time on the mat is what develops a foundation to effectively share the allure of Yoga. And the Ashtanga Vinyasa system is the ideal tool to start developing this deep practical experience.

GAVY demonstrates how this is the original Vinyasa system that the Yoga world has used to derive so many now popular flowing styles of Yoga.

We use this pure, ancient and proven system to nurture the practice skills necessary to then develop teaching skills. It is being grounded in this structured system first, that allows Apprentices to then find their creative teacher inside as they grow toward becoming a Yoga teacher.

Module 1: Ashtanga Made Simple - Strength and Balance
