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.

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!

Michael Gannon Sessions:
Opening to Possibility — Lets set the tone for our intention for this powerful weekend together. An individual intention as well as a group intention. It just may all come down to how we experience (identify or dis-identify) the mind, body and emotions throughout our process this weekend.
Magic of Bandhas — How do I jump thru and jump back?! How do I do handstands?! When will I float?!The seemingly magic of bandhas that allows us to fly is a gradual process that is developed over time with steady practice. But, if we can’t understand the basic physics of activating our core, we can remain stuck to the earth indefinitely. In this workshop we will break down individual elements that allow us to experience weightlessness in all elements in our practice.
The Science of The Vinyasa System — In Ashtanga Yoga we can go through the motions or we can REALLY do the practice. With awareness, with rhythm, with control, following the breath….with the correct vinyasa. Explore the science of the Vinyasa System, where it came from, what it REALLY means and why it’s use and understanding is invaluable to our practice.
Full Vinyasa Practice — The original practice of “full form” of the vinyasa system had each and every asana start and finish in samastitihi. Let’s move together through the original Full Vinyasa of Primary Series, following the correct vinyasa count in Sanskrit. Few practitioners and teachers understand this ‘full form” and even fewer teach it. A rare opportunity.
Wayne Krassner Sessions:
Moving from the Core — Movements and postures are stronger and smarter when we move from our core center. We learn to establish the lower abdominal core and stay connected through vinyasa and asana
Heart Meditation — It’s not what you think. In this class you will gain an understanding of the difference between reality / truth and fantasy / illusion which will help you focus and concentrate your mind and prepare you for meditation.
Deep Breathing First — Get Naturally High. This class we will use a deep breathing high oxygenation technique to experience the feeling mind and a sense of euphoria.
Vinyasa Backbend Focus — Ashtanga Inspired with traditional warm ups with a backhanding focus that transition into a progressive and deep backhanding sequence.
Johnna Smith Sessions:
Tonics for Deeper Hip Rotations — Any ‘leg behind the head’ pose IS achievable if we work that external hip rotation consistently. Come ready to explore new understandings about your hips and how subtle awarenesses can shift what your body is open to. This class, mostly floor work with a few energizing next step practices, will set a good foundation for future deep foot behind the head skills. Hip openers are thrilling, exhilarating and full of possibilities. It’s so often the pressure we put on ourselves that keeps our hips in lock down. Instead of the pressure, we will surrender with ease and creatively open to what’s possible.
Spirit of the Seven Sisters — Explore Ashtanga’s Seven Sisters Head Stand sequence both the practical/anatomical approach as well as the philosophical/energetic expression. We will break down the transitions and flow in counted vinyasa. Expect to discover tricks and tools required to maintain steadiness. Once steady the mind can turn inward and through diligent practice experience the inner forms of yoga. Where do we hold our mind while practicing? What is the intelligence and energy being created through the various hand mudras while inverted? The true beauty of the practice extends far beyond the physical. The beginner just holds the pose. We will explore the advanced version: seek to place our awareness on the philosophical, energetic intelligence of why we do the seven sisters.
Meditation: Doorways to the Infinite a Maha Bhuta practice — We are both Purusha and Prakriti. Both Shiva and Shakti. Maha Bhutas +2 holistic meditation technique is based on elemental theory. Prakriti, who in her infinite wisdom used as the basis for all creation, including your body and mine, the five elements. It’s taught in both yoga and Ayurveda that life is meant for more than mere survival, we are meant to thrive. Our well being and ability to thrive is literally enhanced by purifying these original bhutas (elements). In this meditation we will initiate a return to wholeness by purifying these elements deep within our body and psyche. And by doing so we are prepared to hold higher states of energy and consciousness.
Prana: Spiritualize your Breath — Prana is energy, life force. The movement of the creator herself. The movement of spirit. The movement of soul-essence in your body. When we do breath practices we aren’t just circulating blood, and gasses, we are also clearing the channels of perception so that, as the yoga sutras teaches: the veils that block our natural luminosity, are removed. The wholistic technique we will cover this morning is great for first thing in morning or in the afternoon when the “dull-lull” comes. Based on my studies with renowned Ayurvedic teacher, Dr. Vasant Lad, this pranayama practice is a technique designed to cover all energetic bases. Balancing to all dosha types.
Ashtanga & The Koshas — We came to this world to love. We practice to develop more love to fear less. The ancients came up with technology that is still highly relevant in our modern times. Discussion will include Taittiriya Upanisad’s Koshic model + 2 two that the buddhist tradition has given us, Patanjali’s klesha & karmic theory. Applying this ancient wisdom with the healing benefits of the ashtanga yoga practice opens us up to flourish in our original state… Love.
David Kyle Sessions:
4 Purifications — A set of classic breathing and Bandha exercises that are designed for the students preparation to begin the Shat Kriyas of Hatha Yoga. Popularized by the Ashtanga Yoga Master Baba Hari Das from the Mount Madona Center. We will practice the 4 purifications and explain the sequences benefits to sparking internal fire and awakening the prana. Optional finishing with select Kriyas from the classic 6 internal cleansing techniques of Hatha Yoga.
Rocket Vinyasa — The vision of creativity and freedom from founder Larry Schultz of San Francisco. In the 80’s after extensive study under Pattabhi Jois, Larry destroyed the hierarchy of the fixed Ashtanga Vinyasa Sequencing. He developed an alternative flowing series of Ashtanga asana with emphasis on the individuals strengths. Many view this as the original western “Vinyasa Flow” that inspired and broke the ceiling for the western world to develop and decipher the ancient teachings of the east into a western perspective. David will introduce you to this Ashtanga Vinyasa based practice which encourages individual differences and expressions of the classical Ashtanga Asana we all know!
Strength Training for Inversions — Variations on classical transitions of Ashtanga Yoga. This will be Strength Training for Inversions and variations on classical transitions of Ashtanga Yoga. Designed to give you both stability and ease in traditional transitions as well as opening pandoras box to explore some more contemporary translations of “take it up”! Viewing from a lense that is both challenging yet observing therapeutic techniques to counterbalance the deeper training for the wrists and shoulders.
Mind: The Poisonous Tool — The mind is the tool yet also an obstacle to its own process of detachment. The mind is like a poison that must be purified and in the process only becomes a stronger more deadly poison that should be handled with care. We will focus on the preparation for this process through dharana- deep concentration techniques to train the mind to ultimately release it binds upon our inner self.
Michael Gannon — The Yoga Dealer
In the late 90s, the practice of yoga lured Michael Gannon away from chaotic deal making in the American advertising and music industry. He subsequently spent 10 years studying in India with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915 – 2009) learning the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd series of the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa system. Authorized directly by Jois in 2001 to teach, Gannon has taught in over 50 countries on five continents. Having trained over 500 teachers worldwide in Ashtanga and Power Vinyasa Yoga, his unique teaching style makes the transformational powers of yoga accessible to all with the desire to learn. His live teachings have been extended over the years via many DVDs, the first ever Ashtanga Yoga App on iPhone/Android, and his first book in 2018, Ashtanga Yoga Made Simple. On his home beach in Mexico, Gannon designed, built, and directs one of the most beautiful yoga schools on the planet, Yogaloft Playa del Carmen. When he’s not traveling, it is here that he spends time at the feet of his three most powerful gurus — his daughter and two sons.
Wayne Krassner

This began with playing sports and doing exercise at an early age.By the age of 12 thisevolved to include swimming, calisthenics, martial arts, dance, and fitness training. The moving has not stopped for 40 years. Yoga and vegetarianism came in his early tweenties and Qi Gong / Tai Chi in his early thirties.As a young boy, Wayne practiced Meditation, unaware of what exactly was happening and eventually immersed himself in sitting practices.From the practice of Kabbalah, Buddhist and Yogic principles & techniques, Wayne had his own realization at the age of 37. Upon which he derived his own simple, yet profound technique to share a powerful and beneficial practices with everyone — Expanding Love Consciousness.Wayne practices yoga daily to live better, be a better person, live in peace and harmony within himself, with others, and with nature. As a practitioner and a teacher, Wayne see the goal of yoga as to help people transcend limits and increase physical and mental ability. He has been practicing traditional yoga for 28 years, has trained with many ‘masters’ in many styles, and finds value in all of them.
Johnna Smith
Johnna is an international yoga teacher and lead teacher at Ashtanga Yoga School Charlotte. She feels her dharma is to awaken people to joy, which is our divine birthright. Her workshops, master classes and advanced yoga studies connect students to the source of joy deep within, igniting the fire within the heart.Johnna is one of the few people in the world to receive Level 2 Authorization from Sharath Jois at the KPJAYI Ashtanga Institute in Mysore, India. She has also received Level 1 Para Yoga Certification from Yoga Rupa Rod Stryker for tantra studies.In 1995 Johnna came to yoga after searching for relief from years of panic attacks and addiction. Yoga loosened the hold that fear and anxiety had on her heart, giving her the tools to manage addiction and anxiety. This led her to study with Yoga Rupa Rod Stryker in 2001 and to Sri K Pattabhi Jois in 2004. In 2013 she was honored with Level One Para Yoga Certification and in 2016 Sharath Jois blessed her with Level 2 Authorization. Johnna weaves asana, philosophy, mantra, and meditation with devotion to open the heart and awaken joy.
David Kyle- The Moola Bandha King
David Kyle was introduced to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in 2001 through a very creative and un-orthodox view of yoga asana and eastern philosophies. Through his teacher, Larry Schultz, David came to understand this ancient practice as a individualized journey that develops a deep communication between yourself and your environment. Over time both the fixed forms of Pattabhi Jois and the contemporary self-interpretive style of Larry Schultz has help to shape David’s school Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. David’s perspective on Rocket Yoga and Classical Ashtanga Yoga asana sequencing gives students a fresh and stimulating practice that encourages deep experiences and revelation.

If you don’t know who Bryan Kest is you are probably VERY new to yoga!
This man is the founder of Power Yoga and has touched thousands of
peoples lives teaching yoga since 1985.
“My primary objective”, says Kest,”besides turning more and more people
on to a healthier, more peaceful lifestyle that continually challenges them
to grow, is to teach a system of exercise that fully integrates
the body, mind, and spirit. The new trend towards yoga is not surprising,
given that the body is limited and the mind is limitless. The combination
of body and mind creates an incredibly broad range of fulfillment,
including top physical condition and a calm, peaceful, clear mind.”

This month I broke a fast of 14 days with no food. Only drinking The Master Cleanse (water, lemon, maple syrup, cayenne pepper). Yes, you read correctly…NO food! I do this at least once a year as a cleansing, to give my system a rest and as a yoga tapas practice (austerity). As you can imagine, there is some serious transformation during a practice like this. And, each time I take this journey, I have some pretty powerful realizations. I want to share with you how this Fast works, and what I was awakened to during this journey.
There are some useful lessons that come with it.
1- The first one is: We eat way too much stuff!
More than necessary. More than the body needs or even wants. Most species eat because their body needs something. Humans eat for fun. It’s like a sport. This is ok SOMETIMES! But when it becomes the norm, it is time to take a look at what we are doing to our bodies.
After a few days of drinking only this healthy lemonade, the body becomes quiet, relaxed and starts to purify. After we stop stuffing the body with food for a few days, the body starts de-toxing. We start to eliminate so much crap that has built up over time.
After a couple days of de-toxing, the digestive system gets to take a holiday. And this means MORE energy for our body. You see, we typically are using up to 40% of our energy on digestion. All throughout the day this system is working from our stomach, to the small intestines, to the colon. It rarely stops. So, when we reach the point of having no solid food in the system, we have an energy surplus of up to 40%. And this extra energy can be used by the body for healing. Healing both acute as well as chronic imbalances. Stomach problems, ulcers, sinus problems, migraines, skin problems, back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, etc… It all starts to disappear.
As the body is becoming healthier, the eyes and the mind start to open to see things that we don’t usually notice. One thing we notice is.….
Gannon is teaching a 4 day Gannon Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teachers Clinic.
For Teachers, wanna be teachers or practitioners wanting to deepen their knowledge of the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system. You may join for only the morning practice sessions or for the full clinic.
Location: Namasté Yoga y Pilates
Nápoles 39 casi esquina Londres
Schedule: 8-10am Open Class Sessions
10:30-2pm Teachers Clinic Sessions
Ashtanga for Meditation — Friday 7-9pm All asana practices can be used to prepare us and take us into a meditative state (Dhyana). When we just breathe and move, Ashtanga can become a moving meditation. We will start this class with a guided Ashtanga practice, turning into and awakening our energetic body. We will then take this lite energetic awareness into a 30-minute guided charka meditation. If your week at work or home has been stressful and making your mind rampant, this session will scrub it clean setting the tone for a relaxing weekend.
Led Primary Series — Saturday 10am-12noon Michael will guide the primary series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga using the traditional Sanskrit count of each vinyasa. Hands on adjustments will provide a deeper and practice experience. Open to all levels with experience in Ashtanga.
Opening Your Lotus — Saturday 2-4pm For many of us, putting ourselves into Padmasana is NOT easy. And sitting there comfortably for more than 60-seconds can be like a Tapas practice of will and determination. This class will use a sequence of seated asanas to slowly, slowly free the restricted parts of the body that need to be loose to comfortably come into Padmasana and sit in peace. We can then use this new Asana, or seat, to ground ourselved for pranayama and meditation. All levels welcome.
Led Primary Series — Sunday 10am-12noon Michael will guide the primary series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga using the traditional Sanskrit count of each vinyasa. Hands on adjustments will provide a deeper and practice experience. Open to all levels with experience in Ashtanga.
The Magic of Bandhas — Sunday 2-4pm How do I jump thru and jump back?! How do I do handstands?! When will I float?!
The seemingly magic of bandhas that allows us to fly is a gradual process that is developed over time with steady practice. But, if we can’t understand the basic physics of activating our core, we can remain stuck to the earth indefinitely.In this workshop we will break down individual elements that allow us to experience weightlessness in all elements in our practice.
All levels, all styles of practicioners.

Michael Gannon during yoga teacher training at Yogaloft Playa del Carmen, talks about taking care of yourself on the teaching floor:
“As a yoga teacher, dedicated to helping students in the practice, we should always look out for the student first! Right? Maybe not…
I like to address this question with an analogy of the emergency procedures used on a flight when the oxygen masks pop from the ceiling over your seat. If you are sitting beside a child, always put the mask on yourself first! Then help the child beside you. At first thought, does this make sense, or seem selfish? The idea is, if you don’t take care of yourself first, you will be of no use to anyone else.
So, it’s the same in the relationship between yoga teacher & yoga students . Especially in the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga practice, which is traditionally a very hands on way of teaching “
The following video blog was shot live during one of Michael Gannon’s GAVY 200 Yoga Teacher Training courses at Yogaloft Playa del Carmen, in Mexico.
Here we learn one of many examples of how we can take care of the teacher first. Then, we can take care of the student, even better.
Do you feel ready to learn these teaching techniques? Would you like to learn first hand, live and in person, everyday with Michael Gannon for a month? Final 8 spaces are still available for the next GAVY 200 (Gannon Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga ) Teacher Training in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, August 19- September 11, 2016.

Once you start the Gannon Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training, your yoga adventure and your life experience will never be the same. This may sound like a bold statement, but it has been seen again, and again. Every year since 2002 when Michael Gannon started sharing this Yoga Teacher Training program around the world.
At the same time yoga students are deepening their Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga practice and learning how to share this practice… they are also deepening their connection with their teacher, Michael. This allows them to be awakened to the even deeper transformation that the practice holds.
Gannon explains why he feels this happen:
“I can share so much about the practice experience during yoga classes. For most students, more than they expected they could get out of daily yoga classes.
And, the yoga teacher training experience takes this to a whole new level! The ability to connect with student on a daily basis for 8 to 10 hours turns the volume up to 11!
Suddenly, the opportunity for trainees to hear, see, feel and repeat a process over and over everyday allows them to really understand the philosophy of, ‘repetition is the mother of perfection’. And we apply this same philosophy to the asana practice, the pranayama practice, the mediation practice, how to see the yoga body, how to adjust poses, how to speak to students, how to carry the energy of a group class, how to give good feedback and how to allow all of this to become etched into the yogi cerebral cortex. Then all this awareness becomes a natural part of the practice and teaching experience.
Then, we have a rare opportunity to use that new teacher-student relationship to move beyond the superficial. We have created a much deeper, mutual trust in all that is being shared. And the more I can help students to move into this space, the more open they become. Yes, physically, but more importantly… emotionally. The more emotionally available they become (sometimes felt as vulnerability) the greater opportunity for growth. The greater opportunity for transformation. And this is where I see people having the most powerful, life changing experiences. Way beyond their comfort zone! This is where students reach that point of no return!”
And, AND … the biggest surprise that most students get during a month long yoga teacher training experience is this similar type of connection happening with all their co-students in the training. Every year I watch students fall in love with each other. And i’m not talking about romantic love (although that also happens sometimes :). I’m talking about deep, loving connections between new friends that are going through a major transcendence. Often students credit their ability to get up each morning, continue to push themselves to where they truly want to be, due to the support of the other trainees going through the same process. And now they have become friends for life! They always look back on this great transformation as something they shared not only with support of their teacher, but with the support of their tribe.”
Are you ready for this type of life changing transformation and connections?
If not now, when?!
