The Peaceful Warriors Yoga School: 25-Hour Asana Alignment & Teaching Lab Module

Course program

The 25-Hour Asana Alignment & Teaching Lab Module by The Peaceful Warriors Yoga School is an online module focused on foundational posture alignment and teaching cues, drawing on both the Hatha and Vinyasa yoga traditions. It is one of the modules that makes up the school’s 200-hour YTT pathway, and is also taken as a standalone refresher by existing yoga teachers.

This module is designed for students working through The Peaceful Warriors 200-hour online YTT pathway, and for practicing yoga teachers who want to refresh or deepen their alignment knowledge. It also suits dedicated yoga practitioners of all levels who want to build a safer, more functional foundation in their own practice. No prior credential is strictly required, but the depth of material best serves intermediate and advanced students.

The training centers on the Peaceful Warriors approach to safe, functional posture alignment and the corresponding teaching cues. Eleven asana and teaching labs work through neutrally rotated standing poses, externally rotated standing poses, Sun Salutation A, B, and C, backbends, arm balances, inversions, and twists, seated, and cooling-down asanas. Each lab pairs a posture breakdown with practical teaching practice.

A 214-page asana manual covers more than 60 postures, including correct, safe, and modified alignment options to accommodate different yoga levels and common injuries. A dedicated adjustments masterclass focuses on hands-on assists. The module also includes a recorded one-hour FAQ session with the senior lead teacher and access to The Peaceful Warriors virtual student community for ongoing discussion and support.

The module is led by senior lead teacher Maria Frisch, a Yoga Alliance registered Vinyasa yoga teacher who began her path during travels in Southeast Asia in 2013. She has trained in Yin, Restorative, FlyHigh, Acroyoga, Thai Yoga Massage, and prenatal yoga, and provides one-to-one feedback to students throughout this module.

The module is delivered fully online and on-demand, so students move through the eleven video labs, the asana manual, and the adjustments masterclass at their own pace. Lifetime access is included, and a module assignment plus one-to-one feedback from the senior lead teacher form the practical assessment component. A risk-free 7-day money-back guarantee is offered at enrollment.

    Your online program is so so so beautifully done! I have learned so many things about yoga and everything linked to it, but mostly, I have learned a huge lot about myself. A wonderful little discovery of who I am and to what me I am going towards. Just wonderful. I am very grateful for this experience and if possible.. with Corona and everything, I will be planning to visit you as soon as possible, as I want to get to know the people that lead me trough all of this and provided wonderful guidance!

    I'd like to take the time to extend my deepest gratitude to ALL of the members of The Peaceful Warrior team. I am feeling extremely blessed to have worked with such a dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate group of people. Bente and Maria, I can tell how much heart and soul went into creating this teacher training and I have learned SO much from you both. You've created an incredibly holistic program and selected amazing teachers who each have their own unique and important set of skills to bring to the table.

    You guys provided such a well rounded beautiful course. The idea of an online YTT scared me at the beginning but I must say that it has absolutely exceeded all expectations. You have delivered such high quality material, your choice of teachers has been immaculate and the general structure of the course was truly on point. Your knowledge and passion to share yoga are so inspiring and even though I didn't do the training with teaching in mind, I will for sure end up teaching one way or the other.

    This was by far one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. The Peaceful Warriors have shared their love, light, and knowledge with so many people in Bali and now they have offered it online for students?! AMAZING! I am proud to say that I am a Peaceful Warrior graduate and I cannot wait to go back to their training to attend the 300HR YTT. Every teacher that is part of the Peaceful Warrior family brings such phenomenal knowledge to the table.
