Overview of the Teachers Training
(200 Hours TTC, Yoga Alliance Certified) (3rd Feb - 5th March '20)
If you are looking to immerse yourself into a yoga teachers training course that has its roots in traditional yogic style but still is in sync with modern day application and case study based learnings, you would surely enjoy the course. After going through courses from various yoga schools and having understood the essence of various yoga teachers training programs available, we found out that there are many important factors that could make you a good teacher but are missing in the design stage itself.
We thought of designing a program that is more application oriented and that not only rewards knowledge but also develops the teachers analytically, behaviorally, on business fundamentals and work ethics. Another important fact is that a great amount of learning happens as you get out into the real world, where you apply these learning and face the incoming challenges that are different from a controlled class room setting. This course would shorten your learning curve, saving you a lot of precious time and would keep you ahead of the curve.
Our push to start a teacher’s training program of our own got impetus from the difficulties that we faced while searching for right yoga teachers for our studio. Invariably yoga studios find it difficult to engage with many good yoga teacher’s due to these missing aspects in the programs that they had undergone, though they may learn these over a period of time or after facing problems in setting up their own businesses/freelancing work bachelorarbeit schreiben lassen.
Understanding Yoga Teachers Training Program
Techniques ,Training and Practice
Yoga is more of an experiential learning subject, so a teacher’s training program should focus on your own learning, practice. This part of the teacher’s training program covers KNOWLEDGE FOR ONESELF (i.e. you), to learn, refine and practice and learn through one’s own experience and practice of yoga.
Imagine how 25 days of rigorous Yoga practice (5 days for 5 weeks) would transform you and your perspective towards yoga. Each morning we would practice for 1.5 hours and do additional 30 minutes practice in the evenings.
We are sure that, how much ever rigorous it seems now, you would cherish it as one of the best decisions. Such rigorous practice when combined with yogics food, fire of Tapas, positivity will energize you for years to come. We would cover:
- Asanas, Pranayam
- Mudra, Bandhas
- Relaxation and Meditation
- Kriyas
We give special focus on not just theory and practice but on actual real life application of these learnings in class room or outside the class. We will be covering 38 basic asanas, and related variations to adapt these as per specific requirements of people.
Teaching Methodology
Learning and practicing asanas, pranayam, philosophy, is the start of a journey of an individual for self development, but when you want to be a teacher, it is important to learn the techniques, methods and mindset for teaching others. Teaching Methodology (TM) can be defined as – INSTRUCTION FOR TEACHING OTHERS.
So these are softer and technical aspects that would make your classes, as a teacher, super exciting and would certainly make you famous amongst your students :-). Contradictions of specific asanas, adjustments cues, communication, language, tonality of your instructions while instructing a class, developing a rapport with the group, how to develop modules etc. This section would also cover marketing, business and legal aspects and for those of you who want to start on their own after the course, we would be happy to help with business aspects as well.
Anatomy & Physiology
Hatha Yoga deals a lot with your body so understanding the body’s internal structure, various systems (physical and non-physical), muscles and their interplay can make a lot of difference. We would understand Anatomical concepts from both (Modern Science and Ancient Yogic Science). Having an understanding of modern system can help you avoid injuries, bring in understanding when you deal with real life cases of people suffering from aches, pain, injuries or other diseases.
Yoga Philosophy
A teacher’s training program can not be complete without learning the philosophy and hidden knowledge in these ancient texts of Yoga. Knowing them, helps us in holistic perspective; it helps us to keep our teachings in the right direction. As you would agree Yoga is not just a physical culture but has much deeper roots, so moving on the path of teaching without philosophy would be similar to walking on a dark night without a torch.
Practicum
When you have mastered the above subjects, it is time to start your journey to teach but oh wait! we give you ample opportunity to fasttrack your teaching experience when you are still in the course. Under the guidance of lead teacher and with the company of your Yoga mates from the course, what best can you ask for. Each day of teaching would bring in enormous learnings and exposure to the real world outside.

What is Yoga Alliance? How will Yoga Alliance Certification help me?
Yoga Alliance (https://yogaalliance.org/) is a U.S. based nonprofit membership trade and professional organization for yoga teachers. Yoga Alliance® is the largest nonprofit association representing the yoga community. The Yoga Alliance states that its registry is a voluntary credentialing system. The teacher registry is not a certification program, but a listing of teachers who meet Yoga Alliance’s Requirements for teaching experience and have completed their training at a Registered Yoga School.
Almost all the yoga studios across the globe will recognize the certification but you should check with yoga studios in your home country if you are considering working for a studio post the course.
Please note that there are many such credentialing bodies with very similar names.
What are various organizations that give Yoga certification to Yoga Schools?
There are many organizations that award the certification to Yoga schools/Yoga teaching schools so that these schools can then award certificates to students. Mostly certificates issued by these schools should have logos of these schools.
Let us have a look at a few organizations:
- Yoga Alliance USA – www.yogaalliance.org (Started in 1999) – Yoga school has to renew the registration each year
- Yoga Alliance International, India Based – https://yogaalliance.in/(Could not find the date of formation) – Yoga School just needs to register once
- QCI certification – It is a voluntary certification of Yoga professionals, started by Govt of India – http://www.yogacertification.qci.org.in/
- There are others
How do I decide which certification would work for me?
Decision to opt for a relevant certifying body (Yoga Alliance or any other) should be done based on your objective to teach yoga, after you complete your course. For eg, if your sole objective is to apply for government jobs in India, then QCI certification would help more. Also, if you want to try out job outside India or apply for Visa or are considering settling outside India, then best way is to check with Yoga studios or online job boards where you plan to go. Most of the job boards (offline/online) generally specifies the kinds of accreditation they look for.

If your school is recognized by Yoga alliance – Look for RYS logo on the website then you can get your Yoga Alliance membership. Here is the criteria from the Yoga alliance website – To become a RYT, you must:

Will I get a certificate at the end of the program? Can I start teaching right after the program?
We would be happy to award certificate to all the participants but we want to ensure minimum standard of students after doing the course.

Final certificate would be dependent on your overall performance during the course and in the final examination.
Will the program cover the business or freelancing aspects of yoga?
Yes, we have given hours to specifically cover these topics. And we would be more than happy to help you in your journey to set up your own freelancing or entrepreneurial venture.
