What are You Going to find in Asana Academy Vol.1?
Once you purchase the course you will have instant access to a member area where you will be able to consult the lessons whenever and wherever you want.
We decided to structure the course in a way that makes learning easier, faster and long lasting. To be able to efficiently digest a discipline as vast and as complex as yoga the only way is to divide the information into many smaller bites.
The Asana Academy Vol.1 Method is built around this concept, and the idea that only when information gets absorbed by our subconscious – then we can access it, use it, and combine it with other information already stored in our brain.
Remember when you learned to ride a bike or drive a car? In the beginning even though you “understood” consciously how to do it, you still struggled…
That’s because the information had not yet reached the subconscious. Now you can probably drive or ride a bike listening to the radio, looking around, thinking about things that have nothing to do with it. That’s because your subconscious has absorbed the information and can access it without effort.
We want you to achieve the same with yoga.
Accelerate your progress with Asana Academy Vol.1
Asana Academy Vol.1 will speed up your learning phase, broadening your horizons in terms of what you can achieve on your journey.
Get in touch with yourself
To be able to internalize new poses you have to develop a deep knowledge of your body. Asana Academy Vol.1 will teach you how to practice with awareness of your own body, of your own breath. Take your time and step by step you’ll see your transformation.

Read what Yogis say about PlayPauseYoga
PlayPauseYoga helped me revisit important positions with another teacher perspective. Which again helped me develop as a teacher
As a teacher I’m always eager to learn and develop. PlayPauseYoga and Illona have made a fantastic product that helps everyone dig down and really learn yoga
Going back to basics and really go into the positions is super important at every stage of your yoga journey. PlayPauseYoga is amazing/great in this aspect
Love that they’re taking position by position. So important to revisit these things. They’ve also included some great extra info. Illona is a great teacher and has some really amazing insights
As a beginner i really loved this course. So many of the ones you find online you have to follow a teacher doing a class. Sometimes they’re to fast other times to advanced… I also prefer to be able to put the screen away and practice with my PlayPauseBe cards. This course has really given me the tools i needed to be able to do just that, safely (as I’m a beginner)!! So happy about it
Really love that PlayPauseYoga have focused on giving you the tools, and then encourage you to practice without a screen 🙌🏼 As yoga is supposed to be a time for your body and mind, and not a distracting moment turning your head (maybe at the wrong moment) to try an follow a flow you might not be ready for. Or that’s moving to fast or slow in regards to what you need
