Sample daily schedule

Their schedule is designed in a very balanced way that it keeps the student in contemplation of the subject throughout the day and also allows them to have the personal time.

The schedule is the best integration of theory and practice of yoga. It also allows the student to stay energetic for all the classes. The daily schedule of the course as follows:

  • 06:00 Wake up: You have to prepare yourself for the day with the enthusiastic mindset so that it reflects throughout the day. Early risers often have very well established sleep routines. This means going to bed early, and most likely at the same time every day is also a practice of discipline in the path of yoga
  • 06:30 Herbal tea: Herbal tea is an effective drink in improving metabolism an enhancing health status
  • 06:45 Shatkarma and yogic cleansing: Yogic cleansing helps in detoxing the body and allows to enjoy the practice of asana and pranayama
  • 07:00 Mantra chanting and pranayama: Mantra chanting helps the practitioner experience a clearing of consciousness, peace of mind, and relief from unwanted drives and habits. As one develops more realization by chanting, he perceives the original, spiritual existence of the self. According to the Bhagavad-gita, this enlightened state "is characterized by one's ability to see the self by the pure mind and to relish and rejoice in the self. The word "Prana" stands for life force and this is believed to be the vital energy or life force that encompasses the body. This also serves as the link between the consciousness and the mind. Once the breath is still, your mind is still as well
  • 07:30 Yoga asana: You will have the explanations of each posture and learn how to assist, how to teach postures in yoga classes, and why postures are important
  • 09:00 Breakfast
  • 10:00 Yoga anatomy: Here, the students will learn yoga anatomy and physiology relevant to yoga in order to strengthen their classroom explanations, cues, and corrections of asana
  • 11:30 Yoga philosophy: This class will prepare students to read and understand Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Each Friday, students will lead a discussion reflecting on the week's readings. Before class, students should write down one question on a notecard directly related to the day's reading and give this to the teacher at the start of class
  • 13:00 Lunch, rest, self-study
  • 15:00 - 16:00 Teaching methodology, alignment: You cannot claim to be a yoga teacher unless you familiarize yourself with the necessary techniques of teaching an asana session. You cannot effectively teach an asana session unless you know how to devise modifications for the students who cannot perform the final postures with ease. This class focuses on creating a syllabus that encapsulates important asanas and the ideal methods to teach them. Additionally, you will learn how to optimize and adjust the poses, as well as some variations for the difficult poses by the use of props, micro-bends, and other easier approaches. This hour also includes the practice of yoga Nidra, where the instructor will gently guides you through four main stages of brain wave activity: beta, alpha, theta, and delta. This meditative sleep technique focuses on reaching the "hypnagogic state" or the state between wakefulness and sleep

How to get there

Recommended Airports

Arrival by airplane

The closest and most convenient airport for you is to fly to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL). Delhi airport to Rishikesh by car is a 6-7 hours journey. Arogya Yoga School has a transportation package for 150 USD that covers your airport pick-up from Delhi to Rishikesh (by car) and a drop back to the Delhi Airport after completion of the course.

One way transportation i.e. Delhi airport to Rishikesh can also be availed for 70 USD. In case, your flight arrives late at night and you want to stay overnight in Delhi, you may find a lot of hotels near the airport to stay the night. Pick up can be arranged for the next morning.

If you are visiting India for the first time, then it is better for you to take a flight to Jolly Grant Airport (DED).

Dehradun is just a 30-45 minute drive away from the center and that will certainly save you a lot of time and energy. An airport pick-up from Dehradun can be arranged at 20 USD only. A drop back to Dehradun Airport is also priced at 20 USD.

The travel arrangements are executed under the supervision of professionals and Arogya Yoga School is always ready with a back-up plan, in case of emergencies.

Arrival by train
