26 Day 200-Hour Exclusive Yoga Teacher Training in Dharamsala

This 200-hour yoga teacher training program includes the core philosophy of yoga, which is supplemented by practices and teaching methodologies from various Indian traditional yoga schools, such as Ashtanga Vinyasa and BKS Iyengar. Contemporary modern schools, such as Acro Yoga, are also included.

The curriculum for this 200-hour teacher training includes simple warm-up techniques for glands and joints, sun salutations, Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, Acro yoga, Power yoga, traditional yoga techniques, pranayama, deep relaxation techniques, and yoga Nidra techniques, stress management, techniques to develop strength and flexibility, and bandhas, which are regarded as an important aspect of Hatha yoga.

You will also study anatomy and physiology for yoga, philosophy of Patanjali Yoga Sutras, teaching methodology, ethics, and business of yoga, as well as meditation techniques, such as chakra, panchakosha, and more.

You will do this 200-hour program by getting much more in touch with the power of your minds through daily meditation, mindfulness techniques, asanas, pranayama, journaling, silence, and more. Perhaps even more helpful will be the reflections that you receive from each other and the tribe-building communal living which is often both a challenge and a great opportunity for growth.

In this yoga teacher training program, classes start with pranayama and meditation in the early morning. You practice asana for a whole day and the evening is for you to be relaxed and to calm down your soul. The program starts at 6 a.m., and classes will end at about 6:00 pm. During the daytime, students have a long lunch break to rejuvenate their minds by having healthy food, tea, and snacks.

The program dwells on yoga classes with activities like practical workshops, lectures, and other activities like discussions, silent walks, and group activities (Karma yoga). On every Saturday, students do only asana practice. After that, in the remaining time of the day, they do self-practice. On Sunday, students relax as the day is free for leisure activities.

Dharamsala is an awesome place for meditation and you will love to do it out here in the Upper Dharamsala region. It is quite peaceful as well as away from any sound of traffic. The region is around 2546 meters up with respect to sea level. It is also known as the little Lhasa as well and it is a popular hill station from the days of the British.

You can easily reach McLeod Ganj from lower Dharamsala or the Kotwali Bazar. It is just nine kilometers by bus and only four kilometers via taxi. The lower Dharamsala is the headquarters of the Kangra district as well and you will find many of the local government offices as well. There is a snowfall out here during the month of winter, hence you will certainly find no classes running during that season.

The majority of the population out here is of Tibetans, and even Dalai Lama stays there. With the blessings as well as teachings of his holiness Dalai Lama, you will find many courses that are running in various schools out here, and you can easily find a place in any of them. People from all over the world come out here, and they learn some of the toughest lessons of yoga.
