GRAVITY Yoga Teacher Training

November 15 – November 16, 2025

Combining Yoga and Gravity: enhancing Asanas on the Gravity system

The Gravity Yoga Teacher Training is an intensive program designed for instructors, movement professionals and yoga enthusiasts eager to expand their skills with the GRAVITY® system.

Using the inclined plane of the Total Gym® Encompass™, the training combines assistance and resistance to make asanas more accessible and effective. Participants will learn how Gravity can enhance key abilities such as strength, endurance, mobility and coordination, improving their yoga practice while gaining tools to deliver safe and tailored classes.

The course blends theory and practice, focusing on biomechanics, progressions and modifications for different levels. Upon completion, an internationally recognized attestation will be awarded.

Learning outcomes:

  • Designing GRAVITY® Yoga sessions with efficient program design and transitions.
  • Delivering clear cues on alignment, control and movement quality on Encompass.
  • Tailoring classes to different goals and levels (mobility, strength, endurance, coordination).

Main contents:

  • GRAVITY® & Total Gym® foundations: terminology, core principles, and safety protocols.
  • Assisted asanas on the inclined plane: principles of assistance/resistance and variations.
  • Applied biomechanics, progressions and regressions across levels.
  • Structure of GRAVITY® Yoga classes: warm-up, flow, strength and mobility, recovery phases.
