Course Syllabus

Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training program will provide you with both a deep personal practice and the essential tools to teach others.

By practicing different postures (yoga asanas) you can enhance flexibility, strengthen muscles, improve posture, and boost overall well-being. The asana sessions are organized into different sections:

  • Warm-up Exercises: Gentle movements to prepare the body.
  • Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar): Dynamic sequences to energize and awaken.
  • Standing Poses: Build stability and balance.
  • Seated Poses: Enhance flexibility and focus.
  • Twists and Backbends: Improve spinal mobility and posture.
  • Inversions and Arm Balances: Challenge and strengthen the body.
  • Restorative Poses: Promote relaxation and recovery

Through different breathing practices, you can control your breath, calm your mind, and promote balance and relaxation. From slow and mindful breathing to energizing breath techniques, pranayama promotes mental clarity, emotional stability, and physical vitality.

Multiple techniques involve:

  • Bhastrika: Bellows breath to boost energy.
  • Kapalabhati: Skull shining breath for detoxification.
  • Bhramari: Bee breath for calming the mind.

Shatkarma, also known as Shat Kriyas, involves six traditional yogic cleansing techniques that helps purify the body and mind. These practices work as toxin removers and prepare the body for deeper yogic practices.

  • Nauli – Massaging abdominal organs
