Program

Certifications

Upon completion of this yoga teacher training, students are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®). Registration with Yoga Alliance provides a globally recognized credential.

About the training

Hari-Om yoga teacher training is a journey, a transformation, and a discovery of the self, through the encounter with others. You will acquire a solid foundation to teach Vinyasa yoga, although there will be Yin yoga and functional training classes.

The senior teachers have over 20 years of experience in guiding and training teachers and are assisted by excellent side teachers specializing in diverse areas of expertise. A team of instructors, rather than one individual teacher, lead each teacher training, to provide students with a 360-degree overview of yoga.

The training is precise in teaching asanas and their alignments, based on Hatha yoga, while anatomy focuses on the movement and the parts relevant to a yoga class rather than being a general topic. Hari-Om Yoga School places great emphasis on teaching techniques and practices teaching sessions to allow the students to be able to teach as soon as they complete the training.

Pranayama and meditation are also an important feature of the school just as it is their contemporary vision of philosophy and the spiritual characteristics of yoga, which they convey, in a simple, yet never common, language.

The subjects of the course vary from the physical (asana, pranayama, anatomy, and alignments) to the more spiritual, subtle, and philosophical aspects (meditation, history, philosophy, chakras, and tantra).

There are two practices a day of 90 minutes each and four hours of lecture between morning and afternoon. Some digital content will be provided before the yoga teacher training begins for the students to study individually.

Asana

Basic asanas: tadasana, adho mukha svanasana

Pranayama

During the 200-hour teacher training program, pranayama plays an important role. The concept of prana is explained by describing the five main types of prana (Prana, Apana, Vyana, Samana, Udana), and what pranayama, the bandhas, and the breath cycle mean.

The program is divided into three units, including a practical part in which the participants are guided to experiment with the different pranayama techniques and a theoretical part where the techniques are explained together, with the effects, benefits, and how they work from an anatomic and physiological point of view. As for the asanas, pranayama techniques will be explained by studying:

Various approaches and teaching methods

Contraindications
Effects of the mind and the spirit
Effects on the chakras
Effects on the doshas

Retreat location

Farmhouse Bellaria is a classical farmhouse in Piemont style, part of it to be drawn back to the half of the nineteenth century. It is located in a quiet hilly area of the countryside between Alessandria and Acqui Terme.

Far from the inhabitant center and from the main roads, it is surrounded by a quiet and relaxed atmosphere that follows the rhythm of nature. Foxes, deer, squirrels, wild boars and many kind of birds live in that countryside and very often they get close to the houses and to the small lake, which is located inside the property of the farmhouse.
