The Path to 500HR Yoga Teacher
Why This Path Is Different
500HR isn’t the end of training. It’s the beginning of mastery.
At Thavma, you won’t just learn to teach yoga.
You’ll learn to see bodies the way our founder and lead trainer, Marina Bourantonis, does — with the rare ability to recognize holding patterns, imbalances, and injuries instantly.
Marina’s gift is reading movement. She can see where and why someone is training, sculpting, or stretching incorrectly, and even where energy isn’t moving properly in their body. And she will train you to do the same.
Through her methodology — rooted in yoga, kinesiology, and Pilates lineages, but updated for the bodies of today — you’ll gain tools that go far beyond memorized sequences. You’ll learn to:
√ Identify dysfunction and pain before it leads to injury.
√ Balance strength with intelligent stretching for long-term results.
√ Design sequences that prepare and strengthen the exact muscle groups used in flow.
Guide students into more powerful, safe, and efficient movement.
This doesn’t just make people stronger in class. It changes how they move, recover, and live every single day.
