Welcome to Ashtanga Yoga Las Vegas
Our mission is to facilitate a deeper understanding of Ashtanga Yoga and to provide yogis with the ability to become certified instructors of the practice. Whether you wish to be an instructor, or just to deepen your knowledge and your yoga practice, this course will provide you with a wealth of information and the tools necessary to safely guide a class through the Primary Series.
We are honored to be leading the It's Yoga Ashtanga Teacher Training curriculum here in Las Vegas and as a part of the It’s Yoga family we are committed to the continuation of sharing the legacy of its founder Larry Schultz 1950-2011.
Larry Schultz created one of the first and most comprehensive 200 hour yoga training programs in the US, which has certified over three thousand teachers world wide. This program is accredited and recognized by Yoga Alliance.
“Larry was a warm and generous person,” remembers Yoga Journal Senior Associate Editor Jennifer Rodrigue, who took his teacher training. “One of his greatest contributions to the yoga community was giving people the courage to own their personal practice, encouraging people to honor the past and to live in the present.”
Larry’s wife Marie, states that ”Larry is a
timeless teacher whose love of the practice transcended everything he
did. His dedication to a daily practice reminds us all to share what we
love by practicing what we teach, and teaching what we practice. I
am honored to pay it forward.” She, with the global It’s Yoga
family, are committed to sharing his legacy by continuing to spread the It’s
Yoga vision.
We are currently in a training session until June 24th. The next course begins on September 21, 2012 and will be held every Friday 12:00 - 3:30 pm and Saturday & Sunday 10:00 am – 5:00 pm through November 11, 2012. We also offer classes on Wednesday from 11-1 as a part of the training where anyone can come and take a class for free. Call or write to inquire.

Why do this training?
Deepen your knowledge: This course is an excellent way to gain a greater understanding of the ancient practice of Yoga. You will learn about Ashtanga Yoga as well as how to differentiate between other different forms of yoga. Sharing yoga is also a wonderful way to contribute to the health and wellness for your family, friends, other individuals and society as a whole.
Have your own personal practice: Whether you wish to become an instructor or not, having your own personal practice is the foremost reason to do any training. Classes are a wonderful way of learning and sharing new techniques, but when your schedule doesn’t allow you to drive to a studio or gym for a class, or if one is not even available, you will have all the necessary tools, knowledge and freedom to create a personal practice beyond attending classes that you can do anywhere at anytime.
Diversify: Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is one of the most recognized styles of Hatha Yoga in the world. Many celebrity teachers and their respective systems, including Power Yoga, grew from an Ashtanga based practice. Oftentimes instructors will become certified in multiple forms of yoga to enhance their teaching and income potential through various class styles and to provide their clients with a broader experience.
Credibility: The It’s Yoga curriculum is a well known and respected training course that has certified over 3000 instructors. The It’s Yoga school system is also recognized by Yoga Alliance, which has become the standard to which new instructors and their qualifications are based. Upon graduation students will be given a Yoga Alliance accredited diploma from It’s Yoga stating that they have completed our requirements and are now certified yoga teachers.
