Overview

Alpha Yoga School is founded by two compassionate yoga teachers, Martin Sittek and Joanna Vladescu. 

They met in India, where they were teaching Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga in a Teacher Training School. Having more than 1400 hours in trainings, and having taught in more than 20 teacher trainings, they founded their own teacher training school in 2018. 

Our yoga school runs teacher trainings and retreats in the beautiful Greek islands. The retreat centers which we choose to collaborate with, are right by the beach, so that the students can relax (and read) by the beach. We are expanding in more locations such as Spain, Bali and India. In other words, we follow the sunshine :-) 

Our 200-hour yoga training is a mix of Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga. We practice three Ashtanga yoga classes and three Vinyasa classes per week. We offer workshops on the most challenging and "tricky" asanas such as chaturanga dandasana, lotus preparation, headstand, arm balances and inversions. You will have many "Aha" moments in these classes.  

Something that you will not find in many teacher trainings is the class of "Alignment of asanas and hands-on adjustments". Martin will break down with you the asanas of the Ashtanga Primary sequence and will also teach you hands-on adjustments. This module is invaluable as well and it is the students' favorite module. :-) 

You will learn how to create and sequence different types of vinyasa classes. (well-rounded class, peak-pose class, peak per flow, themed class) in an intelligent and creative way. You will experience all these types of classes in the morning Vinyasa classes as well. This way, we match the theory with the practice. 

We also have practical classes where students teach each other even from week one. We encourage students to find their own teaching style and voice. We do not create a monologue which the teacher should say in their classes.

  1. 300hr Advanced Vinyasa YTT

    I have done my 300h YTT in November this year. I did not have any expectations.. as a yoga teacher and a yoga studio owner I am used to teach a lot..BUT I must admit the whole experience was simply amazing! The teachers were all professionals and the schedule was packed with interesting topics such as philosophy in depth, which you will not have time to dive deep into in your 200h. Adjustments in yoga asanas were so profound and effective. The cueing techniques were so helpful.. We also learned about well rounded classes and sequencing. In anatomy about yoga injuries, correct alignment and how to work with the students in case of limitations. I deepened my practice knowledge due to inspiring classes led by excellent teachers. What I appreciate the most is we did not focus just on Vinyasa Flow, but also Yin yoga and had chance to try out the Tantra yoga. We also did chanting together and learned new mantras. And I never thought I will say this.. but I fell in love with Ashtanga Yoga.

    200-Hour YTTC Lefkada April/May 2022

    Alpha Yoga Teacher Training was one of my best and most memorable experience I‘ve ever had and I would highly recommend it to everyone who wants to know more about yoga, who is willing to find out their physical and mental limits and who either plans to become a yoga teacher or to deepen their practice. I am so grateful for 3 weeks full of valuable knowledge we‘ve received from our amazing teachers Joanna, Martin (founder) and Evangelos. All three did an incredible job and conveyed the subject matter with passion and great humor and thus made it easy for us to get along with the initially overwhelming input. We learned about meditation, philosophy, pranayama techniques, anatomy, alignment, adjustment, ashtanga self practice, vinyasa sequencing and of course how to become a confident yoga teacher. Not only the training was extraordinary but also the location was stunning, the hospitality of the hosts was exceptional good and the food delicious. Many many thanks for everything

    200h Asthanga/Vinyasa

    The teacher training is filled with a lot of knowledge through the main teachers and you will leave and know everything you need to know about the Asanas, how to built up a class and adjust people. If you are looking for a more spiritual experience then I would not recommend it since that is not what the focus lays on.

    200h Ashtanga/Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training

    My search for a YTT was very intentional. I craved like-minded people who challenged me and my practice. I looked into a few recommendations from teachers I admired and I decided on Alpha. Thus began a wonderful and divine journey. The teaching team was cohesive, knowledgeable and always willing to offer guidance and support. I am infinitely grateful for the teachers at Alpha for going above and beyond. The schedule was deliciously intense but gave us plenty of free time. Classes were a pleasure and I always looked forward to them. Martin teaches with a loving playfulness and has a profound knowledge of alignment. His adjustments are next level. Joanna is a passionate and highly skilled yogi. She lights up a room and understands how to teach to all types of students. Cedric keeps us grounded and teaches with grace and wisdom. Athina strings teachings together like chords on a harmonium. As a teacher and practitioner, I feel ready now. I recommend Alpha with all of my heart.
