The Peaceful Warriors Yoga School: 80-Hour Hatha & Vinyasa Practice & Sequencing Module

Course program

The 80-Hour Hatha & Vinyasa Practice & Sequencing Module by The Peaceful Warriors Yoga School is a self-paced online course on the art and science of holistic yoga sequencing. It draws on both the Hatha and Vinyasa traditions and forms part of the school’s 200HR Online YTT Pathway, counting toward the full Yoga Alliance certification.

This module suits two audiences. The first is students working through The Peaceful Warriors 200HR Online YTT Pathway who need the sequencing component of their training. The second is yoga practitioners and existing teachers who want to deepen their understanding of traditional and creative sequencing, refresh their knowledge, or expand their teaching toolkit. No prerequisites are stated, so practitioners of all levels can enroll.

The curriculum covers the foundations of intelligent sequencing: class and practice structure, key components, and general sequencing rules. Students study the physical mechanics of peak postures and their asana families, including how to deconstruct a peak posture, and learn to incorporate Sun Salutations A, B, and C into class flow. Several sequencing techniques are taught, including mandala sequencing, progressive sequencing, and themed sequencing.

The module also covers how to teach to multiple levels within a single class, teaching ethics and principles, and five science-backed tools for making a daily personal practice stick. Course materials include a 58-page sequencing manual, twelve 90-minute pre-recorded Hatha practices, twelve 90-minute pre-recorded Vinyasa practices taught by five different senior teachers, four 60-minute Yin practices, twenty-six sample Hatha and Vinyasa sequences in PDF form, a Yoga Habit e-book, and twenty practical exam sequences taught by graduates of the 200HR pathway.

The module is taught by senior Peaceful Warriors faculty including Maria Frisch and Bente Andersen, the school’s lead teachers based in Bali, alongside Bernd Windhofer, who specializes in Hatha practice and yoga philosophy. Additional Vinyasa practices are led by school graduates and senior teachers Magdalena Janik, Karin Dorsey, and Jessica Lee, giving students exposure to a range of teaching styles within one program.

The module is one hundred percent online and on-demand. Students can begin immediately after purchase and progress at their own pace, with lifetime access to all course content and materials. Practical evaluation includes one-on-one feedback on student work, and the module’s twenty practical exam sequences serve as a reference for the assessment component. Enrollment carries a 7-day money-back guarantee.

    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.
