Next Date for GAVY 200 will be August 14 to September 05, 2020.
Become a Registered Yoga Teacher at the 200-hour level
The GAVY 200 Foundation Certification 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 the living Guru, Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois. BUT, we take a giant step forward, making this system digestible for the western mind. This GAVY 200 Teacher Apprenticeship foundation program has graduated over 300 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 magic 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.
The GAVY 200 Foundation Certification is currently offered in an intensive program format.
Month Long Intensive
23 days straight. 8 hours per day. Drop your life for 100% focus! Go deep!
All GAVY 200 are pre-approved worldwide at the RYT-200 level by Yoga Alliance and Yoga Alliance UK. Apprentices completing the GAVY 200 will receive a certificate and letter of completion that they may use to register with Yoga Allianceand Yoga Alliance UK at the RYT-200 level and share with prospective employers. This also qualifies Apprentices to apply for the GAVY 500 Advanced Yogi Studies.

2ND SERIES CERTIFICATION MARCH 6-15,2020
Even though the classical Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system consists of 6 different series, the most important is Primary Series. And actually, most people will spend their life content with working on only this Primary Series.
Only a small percentage of the practicing public will move beyond this level to practice Second Series and beyond. It is for this reason that the GAVY 200 Teacher Training (Gannon Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga) has always focused on only Primary Series. Since 2001, this training has certified over 400 teachers from many, many countries around the world.
Well, now we have decided the momentum has grown enough to justify offering serious practitioners and teachers the opportunity to move to this beyond! Gannon is now offering a GAVY 100 — Second Series Certification in Ashtanga!

Upon successful completion of any GAVY or GPVY Teacher Training, trainees may accumulate hours towards the Gannon 500 as well as the Yoga Alliance RYT-500 recognition.
These intensive 100-hours trainings are open to:
