Doron’s  yoga workshops are a place for learning and growth. Unlike a class, where it is more about the practice, a workshop is a place to understand the how to, so that your practice and life go so much deeper. It is in the yoga workshops, immersion and trainings that one really takes a leap into a deeper practice.

Grow stronger, calmer, steadier and create a sustainable blissful life, with these in-depth yoga workshops. Doron’s yoga workshops will give you information and practice equal to months of classes.

Many of the yoga workshops count as Yoga Alliance hours.

Whether you are an experienced yogi looking to deepen your practice, or relatively new to yoga but curious to discover more, these yoga workshops will provide you with the skills and techniques necessary to approach life with more power and awareness, and a profound understanding of each of the topics presented, allowing you to really learn and embody the material.

The yoga workshops are taught by Doron Hanoch, a Master Yogi and Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher at the most advanced level (ERYT 500). Doron is a sought after teacher who instructs group and individual sessions all over the world.

Please contact Doron if you would like to host a yoga workshop or training in your studio.

An empowering, info rich workshop that will show you how to balance your yoga practice and your yoga life! Tons of practical tips that will change your life forever.

Find balance, health and peace using the ancient wisdom of the Indian Ayurveda system, (the science of life) as well as current yoga and nutrition trends. You will have the opportunity to discover what your body type (dosha) is and then understand how it applies to your life. What does each body type need in order to find and maintain balance? You will obtain the tools needed to achieve balance in your life through nutrition, yoga practice, mind training, and breath techniques (Pranayama).

The workshops are based on Doron’s latest book, The Yoga Lifestyle (published by Llewellyn June 2016). Learn about the art of being a flexitarian, and how to maintain a sustainable, healthy, and joyful life.

Subjects Include:

• Introduction to Ayurveda and the dosha
• The 5 elements and what takes them out of balance

The Art of Sequencing: From Your Personal Practice to Teaching a Group – Doron’s famous 19 building Blocks

Sequencing is an art. It is important for safety, for proper warm up, for the poses to feel good, and for the whole session to flow in a way that leads to a sattvic feeling – a good, healthy, happy feeling in the body and mind.

In order to allow for creativity while still maintaining some structure, I have created the Doron Yoga Building Blocks. These building blocks build the entire sequence of a class with lots of options – within each one of them you can choose a variety of poses. You will understand the logic of healthy sequencing, and know how to create your own class, either for your home practice, or your students.

This will give you tools to really be able to take students deeper into their practice in a sustainable way.
