Teacher Training Program

200 hour personalized, residential, affordable and intensive hatha yoga teacher training course in India, with RYT 200-hour Yoga Alliance, USA, certification, designed for beginner and intermediate level yoga practitioners, at Maa Yoga Ashram, Rishikesh (RYS 200, RYS 300).

Each program is differs according to the amount of knowledge provided to the teacher or teacher to be. The 200-hour program is the foundation for the other programs (300/500 hour).

Many schools and integrated courses teach yoga philosophy, yoga studies, lifestyle and ethics for yoga teachers. They also require thirty contact hours be spent on ethics for yoga teachers. A 200-hour program consists of human physical anatomy and physiology, bodily systems, organs, and more. In addition, we teach energy anatomy and physiology, such as chakras and nadis, with full awareness and understanding that we are all energy beings.

The study of the subject and application of its principles to yoga practice, like benefits, contraindications, and healthy movement patterns, are an integral component of one’s teacher training experience. The postures, alignment and adjustment are very important in this program, as are the correct posture in asanas, the right breathing in pranayamas, kriyas, chanting, mantra, meditation, and other traditional yoga techniques. This course includes the analytical training in the conceptual (how to) teaching and practice of the techniques and the experiential practice of the techniques themselves.
