Meet your guides and founders of Alpha Yoga
Joanna is passionate about sequencing, teaching skills, and creativity – skills that she teaches in the 200hours YTT to help students become confident yoga teachers. Right from the get-go. Prepare to sweat in her classes and redefine what’s possible.
Martin is passionate about alignment, applied anatomy, and he loves having structure in his life. He’s in love with Ashtanga Yoga, a healthy lifestyle, hiking, and anything related to movement. Did you know that he brought six anatomy books to our first date on the beach? Six…
We’re a team only Yoga could have brought together. Yoga impacted both of our lives, and when we met, everything changed. It was in 2018, while working for a large yoga school in India, that we realized the yoga teacher training there was incomplete. Students were having a great experience, but they were just numbers. They were taught by inexperienced teachers and had to take additional courses to have a complete training. It simply broke our hearts…
In 2019, Alpha Yoga School was born when we created a yoga teacher training program that has everything a yoga teacher training program should. The amazing locations in the Greek Islands are just a bonus. (I’m down for the Greek Islands!)
Why the name Alpha Yoga?
The Alpha brain waves occur when we begin to slow down. We are calm, cool, collected, balanced, and grounded. This is often the state our mind is in after a great yoga class, and what we strive to bring you to here, at Alpha Yoga.
In Greek, the word ALPHA can be used to denote a beginning, the first and brightest, the very best. These meanings, strung together, perfectly embody the essence of the yogi: always present and alert, yet internally at peace.
Our values…
Our non-negotiable values are integrity and honesty, purpose, and contribution.
It’s not just the two of us. You will also learn from other yoga teachers who share our values and are part of our team.
Our team…
We are proud to work with a small team of teachers who have been part of our journey for years – some of them even before Alpha Yoga was born. Each of them is not only a skilled teacher but also a dear friend. We share the same values and mutual commitment to authentic, high-quality education. We complement each other every time we meet and teach. By the way, each course has a team of three teachers. This is not a one-man show.
Some yoga teacher trainings
Our 3-step process…
We want you to be confident that our training is the right one for you. If you were looking for yoga teacher training and someone you asked suggested Alpha Yoga School, you wouldn’t need to read this. However, if you don’t know us, this is what we offer:
A video call with Joanna and Martin, where we meet each other and answer all your questions before committing to anything. We even welcome you to contact our previous students and watch their video testimonials. You can easily book your call with us.
When you sign up, you will have access to suggested reading and recorded video content to help you prepare. Therefore, your entry point into the training is higher than at other yoga schools.
We realize that the end of the training is just the beginning of your yoga journey. After the training, you will have access to our 200-hour ONLINE YTT video content and digital resources, which you can revisit any time. This creates a more versatile and flexible learning experience.
All our programs are registered with Yoga Alliance U.S.A.
Real people, real experience…
Let’s be clear…
This is our “Customers’ Clarity Agreement” on what you can expect from investing in this yoga teacher training.
At Alpha Yoga School, certificates are not given; they are earned.
This training will elevate your practice to a new level, even if you are a beginner. You will eradicate bad habits in your practice and amend misalignments. Any misunderstandings about the pose, its benefits, its variations, and its risks will be resolved.
You will dive deep into TWO of the most established and most frequently practiced styles of Yoga in today’s industry. Ashtanga Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga (often referred to as Flow Yoga).
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga empowers you with the independence of self-practice. It offers all the benefits of yoga (and more) in an effective, efficient format. Meaning you can practice anytime, anywhere, without relying on (and paying for) a teacher to guide you. Through repetition of this set series of postures, you build phenomenal strength and discipline, and your practice transforms at an astonishing rate.
Aside from being the foundational practice of modern-day yoga (Power Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Jivamukti, and Rocket), the set series of postures opens, aligns, strengthens, and purifies the body. The movements are performed while practicing deep breathing and with a set gazing point. So not only does the practice keep you in amazing shape, but these additional aspects allow the practitioner to experience meditation in motion.
It is for this reason that we use Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga as the groundwork for our 200-hour YTTCs.
Outside the set series, a natural inquiry arises into creating your own “vinyasa flows.”
Vinyasa is the coordination of the breath with the movement of the body. It is the fluid space in between the poses. Whilst Vinyasa yoga can also be dynamic, it doesn’t have to be. It is the perfect style to express your creativity. Vinyasa Flow derives from Ashtanga Yoga and builds upon its structure while allowing you to add your temperament, self-expression, and flavor.
This combination is deliberately chosen to accelerate your own practice and maximize career opportunities. The 200-hour Foundational Yoga Teacher Training prepares you to teach your own Vinyasa flow yoga classes.
In our 300-hr Advanced Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training, you will dive deeper to create and teach your own master Vinyasa flows, offer alignment cues, and provide hands-on adjustments, all done correctly, safely, and appropriately.
Our Promise…
At Alpha Yoga School, we change people. Everything we have learned throughout our careers is yours. From the mistakes we made to all the international training courses that we attended. All our cards are on the table, no secrets. The moment you invest in the training, we invest in you.
Like it or not, and we hope you like it, you will be participating in your own transformation. Once you finish our yoga training, you will have completed a journey, you will be different now, and there will be nothing you can’t accomplish if you apply yourself. You will PROVE to yourself that there are a few of life’s problems that can’t be conquered with a little bit of support, strategy, and commitment.
Change is sometimes frightening. But more frightening is never changing.
We hope you realize that…
Yoga is a lifelong journey.
You cannot learn everything there is to know about Yoga in a single yoga teacher training. Or ever.
You will not learn specialty Yoga, such as prenatal, postnatal, Acro Yoga, Chair Yoga, Cacao, or Fire ceremonies. Why? Because you have time in the future to develop your niche. Establishing a strong foundation and understanding of functional alignment and teaching methods comes first.
We are not your Gurus, and we will never claim to be. We will not tell you what to teach. Because what you teach is up to you. We will teach you how to teach to the best of your ability. You will not just rehearse and repeat instructions. You will understand the concepts that underlie them, so you can develop your own voice as a yoga instructor.
After the course, you do not HAVE to teach. However, we ask you this: if you felt so confident and capable of teaching, would you still be sure to say that you don’t want to teach?
