Key Areas of Learning in Detail:

Chanting the mantras: Body cleansing techniques (Shat karma)

Mantras are believed to deeply penetrate the human mind. These elements of Sanskrit language are constantly chanted to regulate the vibration of all aspects of your being, exerting an eternal influence. One of the significant benefits of mantra chanting is its ability to help reduce mental stress. Scientifically termed mantropathy, it is widely practiced for healing the body and mind, as well as for eliminating negative energies in the environment.

Asana study: correct alignment, variations, modifications to minimize injuries

Shatkarma is a series of six yogic techniques that purify the body and prepare it for the journey towards moksha, or liberation. Shatkarma eases and correctly aligns the flow of prana, or the internal life force, enabling us to perform meditation for extended periods, which is crucial for the spiritual journey.

Art of sequencing and improvisation in the classroom

Asanas are one of the fundamental elements of yoga. Each asana brings specific positive attributes, from the alignment of body posture. For instance, they aid in the elimination of toxins, weight loss, promoting general health, alleviating fatigue, and relaxing the mind.

Efficient and intelligent: use of props to help improve practice in its early stages

As different bodies possess varying flexibility and strength profiles, it becomes essential for the teacher to understand these nuances and intelligently utilize props to deliver teachings and engage with the class. Our 200-hour yoga teacher training program will help you understand these subtleties in a much more efficient manner.

Mindful breathing techniques (Pranayama)

Every breath you take is a source of Prana, or the internal life force. The conscious practice of this simple process can bring magical transformation to every aspect of your life. Our teacher training program will introduce this concept and teach you how to integrate it with every single yoga asana. Some of the benefits you will experience include improved blood flow, body detoxification, and better digestion, among others.

Meditation (Dhyana)

A deeper level of meditation and concentration aimed at knowing the truth is referred to as Dhyana. Dhyana forms the pathway to achieve Samadhi, which produces infinite bliss, the ultimate goal of Yoga.

Fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology

Understanding human anatomy will help you better comprehend yoga and its various aspects. This knowledge will also assist in achieving holistic health and in applying yoga practice therapies.

Yoga philosophy, ideas and hypotheses

Yoga is an ancient philosophy. To become a competent yoga teacher, one must thoroughly understand the philosophy and ideas associated with it. Additionally, you should be able to effectively share these same ideologies with your students. Our 200-hour TTC yoga in Rishikesh ensures you are equipped to share this profound philosophy with the world.

Building Confidence Through Teaching Practice

Teaching yoga is an intricate interplay of body, mind, and soul, demanding immense clarity in thoughts and actions. The 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh ensures that enthusiasts like you are open to learning the skill of teaching and enables you to do justice to your knowledge and the trust your future students will place in you.
