Hi! I am ready for the next step and would like to travel to India for my first teacher training. I am overwhelmed by the different types and school. Here in USA i regularly practice power, Vinyasa flow and strict classical ashtanga classes.
I know I want to practice ashtanga for the rest of my life and have felt a connection with it since my first led full primary class… A part of me does not want to take ashtanga as my first training because:
-
it is very “specialized” I know I will want ashtanga TTC but maybe later on… something is telling me to learn a more general style of yoga first.
-
I have a great strict ashtanga teacher I have alot more to learn from. I don’t want to branch of his teachings yet or maybe ever.
Also, seems like it does not matter much which TTC style I choose for first training because most of the 200hrs seem to be on pranayama,theory,sutras,nutrition,anatomy&science anyway… so little time on the specific style. Any opinions greatly appreciated please.
