What to expect
This training is spread across four weeks of intensive training in various aspects of yoga and its related studies. During the course of your training, you will be trained in:
Hatha yoga
Hatha yoga is considered to be the foundation of all yogic asana practices that sprout from its fundamental nature for creating a balance between the mind and body by accessing the inner roots of our being. This form of yoga plays huge importance to breathing techniques.
The regular Hatha class comprises a relatively-paced practice of various Hatha yoga postures, breathing awareness and techniques, and meditation practices. All of the classes begin and conclude with mantra chanting.
Ashtanga yoga
Goa Yogashala follows the ancient tradition of Ashtanga yoga as popularized by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Traditionally, yoga helps you in knowing and calming yourself. However, the real meaning can get a bit lost amidst the practices of exercise-centric yoga that seems to be very popular nowadays. Ashtanga, on the other hand, brings modern-day yogis back to the ancient roots of this yogic practice.
Vinyasa yoga
Often confused with ‘Power yoga’, Vinyasa yoga is a modern, fast-paced practice inspired by the Ashtanga Vinyasa system and the highly-revered Guru T. Krishnamacharya himself. This style of yoga is characterized by easing postures together so that you move from one to another seamlessly, using the synchronization of breath and drishti.
Yin yoga
Completely opposite to the vigorous, fast-paced Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga styles, Yin Yoga focuses on the deep connective tissues of your body—the ligaments, bones, joints, and deep fascia networks. It’s gentler and more contemplative, allowing you a space to turn inward and tune into your mind as well as the physical sensations of your body. In Yin yoga, you hold your postures for a longer period than other traditional forms, which means that you would stretch and lengthen those barely-used tissues as well as learn how to control your breathing through any discomfort.
Mysore style yoga
Mysore-style yoga is the conventional way of practicing Ashtanga yoga and offers an extremely personalized approach with all of the group energy of a conventional class. This style is different than any other method of teaching yoga in the way that during practice the class is not instructed as a whole but is more on one-on-one training within the group.
Pranayama
Breathing is the first as well as the last thing we do in life. It is the only constant in our lives. However, regular stressors, worries, and physical habits can lead to physical and energetic hindrances in our bodies. And, without even realizing it, our breathing gradually becomes light or unnatural and we develop unconscious dysfunctional breathing patterns that limit the flow of breath and prana.
Philosophy
An important part of your 200-hour yoga teacher training in India, philosophy classes play a very vital role in your yogic journey, almost as critical as your physical practice if not more. During these classes, you will learn about the chakras. With proper guidance, you will learn how to connect with them and to empower them through various practices. Your philosophy class would also comprise a thorough study of the eight limbs of yoga as mentioned in the Yoga Sutra by Patanjali.
