Curriculum

1. Hatha (Asana and philosophy)

Master the foundational physical postures of yoga combined with the traditional philosophical context of Hatha Yoga Pradipika. This module focuses on the 'Sthira Sukham Asanam' principle, teaching you how to achieve stability and comfort in every posture while understanding the slow-flow transition mechanics.

2. Ashtanga Vinyasa (Complete Primary Series, lead in Mysore Style)

Intensive study of the complete Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa). You will learn the specific Vinyasa count, the Tristhana method (breath, posture, gaze), and experience the traditional Mysore Style practice, which allows for individual progression within a group setting.

3. Pranayama and breath (Practice and Theory)

Deep exploration of the science of vital energy through breath control. This module covers both the practical application of techniques like Nadi Shodhana and Kapalbhati, as well as the physiological theory behind how these practices regulate the nervous system and clear the energy channels (Nadis).

4.Yogic Anatomy and Physiology (based on Yogic Point of View)

A professional bridge between modern science and ancient wisdom. You study the musculoskeletal and nervous systems through the lens of yoga practice, ensuring you understand how postures impact different body types and how to prevent injuries through biomechanical awareness.

5. Yoga Darshan or Yoga Philosophy

A profound academic dive into the philosophical worldview of yoga. This includes the study of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the Eight Limbs of Yoga, and the Bhagavad Gita, providing you with the ethical and cosmic framework necessary to be a truly enlightened yoga instructor.

6.Mantra Yoga (Yogic Mantras- Meaning and Purpose)

Understand the vibrational science of sound and its role in spiritual transformation. You will learn the correct Sanskrit phonetics, the deep symbolic meanings, and the ritual purposes of sacred mantras used for centering, protection, and collective resonance.

7. Dhyana (Meditation- Practice and Theory)

Master the art of internal focus. From basic concentration techniques (Dharana) to the state of deep meditation (Dhyana), this module teaches you the practical methodology and the psychological theory behind mental stillness and self-observation.

8. Teaching Methodology (Core of Yoga Teacher Training Course)

The definitive module on how to lead a class with authority. Learn class sequencing (Vinyasa Krama), verbal cueing, the 'Teacher’s Voice', hands-on adjustments, and the professional ethics required to manage a diverse classroom environment responsibly.
