Join Level-2 Authorized teacher David Robson for an intensive, 40-hour Immersion in the Primary Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.
This week-long immersion is for both students and teachers. You do not have to be a teacher, or want to be a teacher, to attend. However, students should have an established practice to get the most out of this training.

Participants who complete all of the immersion will receive a certificate at the end of the course, but not a teaching certification.
