Course Syllabus

Our 200 hour yoga teacher training program includes a well-rounded curriculum based on classical Indian-influenced Yoga and spiritual insights from famous scholars. Here is a condensed description of the course:

Practices of Hatha Yoga

Our Hatha Yoga techniques are rooted in ancient practices of yoga asanas from the Himalayan yogis that evolved consciousness to higher understanding. Our experienced teachers tailor lessons to each student's flexibility and strength to master poses, promoting optimal health and peace of mind. We also offer comprehensive lessons on related topics such as yoga history, Hatha Yoga basics, sequencing, breathing exercises, and postures with Sanskrit terminology.

Here are some of the common hatha yoga techniques that we teach at Gurukul Yogshala:

  • Postures with their Sanskrit Names and Terminology;
  • The Basics of Hatha Yoga and the History of Yoga;
  • The Art of Sequencing;
  • The Integration of Breathing Exercises and Appropriate Postures and more.

Practices of Ashtanga Yoga

At our 200 Hour Intensive Yoga Teacher Training Course, we prioritize teaching our students the basics of Ashtanga yoga. Following a traditional approach, we guide our students through the complete primary series sequence created by K. Pattabhi Jois in a systematic manner.

Here are the details:

  • In the first week, we will learn the basics of Ashtanga yoga.
  • Week 2 focuses on standing yoga poses.
  • Sequences of seated and standing poses to finish the third week.
  • In the fourth week, students will learn how to teach in the Mysore method.

After receiving three weeks of guidance from the teacher, the Mysore-style practice will be evaluated during the fourth week. Additionally, during the last week of the course, students will be assigned to lead certain postures as a teaching exercise.

Practices of Vinyasa Flow

The contemporary yoga style of Vinyasa Yoga, often referred to as "flow" is highly popular and characterized by the seamless transition between poses. It encompasses various yoga types such as Ashtanga yoga series. In Vinyasa yoga, each movement is coordinated with the breath, which serves as an anchor during pose transitions. Ashtanga yoga also follows a fixed sequence of poses, but slight modifications may occur based on the teacher's discretion and course requirements.

  • Sanskrit Names and Terminology for Yoga Poses.
  • The Significance of Breathing in Vinyasa Flow.
  • An Overview of Vinyasa Flow Yoga.
  • Designing a Sequence for Vinyasa Flow Practice.

In the final week of class, students will be responsible for establishing their rhythm and leading the rest of the group.

During our 200-hour Yoga Teachers Training Course, you will receive in-depth instruction on proper asana alignment and adjustment. Our experienced instructors will equip you with the skills to guide students safely using verbal cues and physical adjustments, as well as the ability to observe and assess alignment and modify poses to accommodate diverse body types.

In our sessions, we put an extreme emphasis on the understanding of Anatomy and Physiology of the body, as without this knowledge, the impact of various asanas on the body and the mind cannot be realised.

Yogic Food

Meals of a yogic diet have been served at the Gurukul Yogashala in Rishikesh. Getting started with yoga is easier with the help of our gluten-free, yogic diet. The meal, together with the detox tea and juices, contains a good balance of nutrients such as vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, calcium, and other minerals. We believe that medication loses its efficacy when consumed alongside unhealthy eating. Medication is unnecessary when the diet is healthy. What we eat has a significant impact on our ability to meditate and practice yoga.

What is the duration of a 200-hour yoga teacher training programme?

The duration of a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh varies depending on the course structure and format.

    PREREQUISITES

    Dedication and self-motivation are essential for the success of our course. The practice and teaching of yoga require a profound level of self-discipline and purity. To uphold the integrity of the program, participants must actively participate in all spiritual activities, meditation sessions, lectures, and asana classes.

    In alignment with the principles of yoga, certain lifestyle choices are prohibited during the course. These include the consumption of meat, fish, eggs, black tea, coffee, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and any form of nudity. Such practices are counterproductive to the path of yoga. Participants who fail to adhere to these guidelines may be dismissed from the course to maintain the sanctity of the learning environment.
