Things to Know

Before being a part of this 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course

What is Hatha Yoga?

The word "Hatha" itself finds its origin in Sanskrit and literally translates to "force," meaning Hatha Yoga simply means a stubborn or rigid type of yoga. This yoga style is for maintaining equilibrium among the body, mind, and spirit. It is also a practice used to purify the Pingla Nadi (connected with the sun energy of the body) and the Ida Nadi (connected with the moon energy of the body).It includes a complete set of asanas (physical postures) with different breathing techniques. Lord Shiva, also referred to as Adiyogi, was the one to discover yoga and its different styles. Therefore, Hatha Yoga can be linked to Shaivism; however, the tradition was later carried on by Siddhas and Naths.

Hatha Yoga Practice

The beginner-level program of 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training explains Hatha Yoga through theoretical and practical sessions overlooked by seasoned teachers and gurus. Thus, we ensure that students get the most out of the Hatha Yoga Practice while doing it in the most delightful way possible.

What is Vinyasa Yoga?

Vinyasa Yoga is a style of yoga characterized by stringing postures together so that you can seamlessly move from one posture to another while making the right synchronization of the breath. The aspect that makes Vinyasa Yoga classes stand out from other yoga classes is that no two classes are ever alike. This yoga features a variety of different postures. Despite the sequence being the same, there are always certain variations in the asanas.

Vinyasa Yoga Practice

The 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course comprises both theoretical and practical classes of Vinyasa Yoga. The theoretical sessions cover the origin and evolution of Vinyasa Yoga over time, while the practical sessions help you attain the confidence to practice and teach Vinyasa asanas with conviction.

What is Ashtanga Yoga?

The Sanskrit word Ashtanga is formed by the words "Ashta," meaning eight, and "Anga," meaning limb. It literally translates to an eight-limb yoga technique that paves the way to Samadhi, the state of complete stilling of the mind, allowing the individual to become one with the cosmic. It is one of the classifications in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, which state that peak mental and physical health can only be achieved by being ethically and morally right through karmas, meditation, discipline, inner and outer purification, and physical exercises.

Ashtanga Yoga Practice

The 200-Hour Teacher Training program comprising Ashtanga Yoga Practice classes starts with asana, which is the third limb of the Ashtanga Yoga style. Asana is a type of physical workout that leaves you feeling mentally, emotionally, and spiritually satisfied. It consists of vigorous physical practice. The Ashtanga Yoga practice demands intense physical strength, flexibility, and endurance. This is also the reason why many people see this style of yoga as rigorous, comparing it to a challenging workout.

Detailed Syllabus - 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

Yoga enthusiasts, who dare to start a 200 hour yoga teacher training program, get much more than learning the correct way to perform a certain asana. It is a wide description of all sorts of yoga and its historic fundamentals. This training will offer a full-spectrum practice comprising the knowledge from Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga besides the restorative styles such as Yin Yoga.

Meditation is however a central element in this training. Another basic element of yoga, meditation in addition helps to calm the mind and the body in particular. It means being quiet not merely, but calm, and peaceful, and if possible going a step further and meditating. Meditation is also considered a method of improving one’s current emotional state in different aspects of life since anxiety and stress nowadays are common problems in people’s daily lives. When doing meditation you are in a position to face challenges with more strength and show more temperance.

This 200- hours course offers you an opportunity to gain deep insight of yoga as a physical, mental and spiritual discipline as you learn how to teach yoga or practice.

Hatha Yoga

Coming from the Sanskrit word of ‘hatha’ meaning sun and moon, Hatha Yoga is a discipline that has been in existence for centuries and has a major positive impact on one’s physical and psychological well being. This form of yoga entails the use of several methods that were developed over ages that focus on the body and mind with an aim of regaining control over such conditions. Hatha Yoga involves performing asanas at slow to moderate speed, whereby the participants are able to maintain each position for an extended period of time. Besides, it effectively engages the body and the mind in preparation for more profound forms of meditation and has multiple benefits for one’s overall well-being and perception of life.

Hatha, in Sanskrit, means pressure or force which gives a hint on the amount of force used in the style more of physical force. Hatha yoga is aimed at achieving an ideal mix of the postures or asanas, breath control and certain intonations or mantras, as well as gestures or mudras. It is aimed at achieving harmonisation of the body and the mind to ensure that they are balanced hence the name, ‘the centering practice’.

For this reason, Hatha Yoga involves the deliberate usage of a regulated force and focused pressure to balance the body’s energies, increase flexibility and muscle strength, as well as the relaxation of mind and the body. 

Besides, following this line of training leads not only to readiness to perform higher states of meditation but also contributes to human health and development of positive attitude towards life. There is full coordination between the breath and the movement giving it the characteristic of both the difficulty and the vigor. The style is often called the “Mysore Style” after the Indian city from where Jois taught when he first started. It has developed to other forms of yoga known as Power Yoga which flows from the basic technique of Ashtanga Vinyasa. The practice is not only a great way to remain and become more efficient and supple but also a way to develop strength and stamina; thus making it a kind of full body and mind training.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic and somewhat forceful type of yoga that reached its current state in the 20th Century when it was systematised by Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois. Despite all that, he acted as a figure that made it possible and fashionable in the current practice of yoga in the modern world that basically is a practice of strength, flexibility and devotion. Forming a connection between a coherent sequence of body movements and a specific type of breathing (vinyasa), Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is famous for making the spine more flexible and gaining strength in the core muscles as well as improving concentration.

Pattabhi Jois, who learned yoga from Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, started the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in 1948, with the purpose of propagating the practice and making people understand the positive effects from the Method. 

Ashtanga system includes movement performed energetically with intention to focus on breath allowing smooth transitions from one posture to another. The series of asanas in the process are closely related with each other by smooth movements from one to another which helps in achieving mental peace during the process of practice. The technique most widely presented and practised is called the “Mysore Style,” which owes its name to the Indian city of Mysore – the birthplace of this practice that is still conducted here in its original manner.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga has also contributed to the creation of different other contemporary styles of yoga among them being Power Yoga which derives from the dynamism of the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga style but does not stick to the standard practice. Ashtanga is actually for the most part physically demanding while at the same time, it enhances one’s mental toughness, self-control, and promotes the understanding of the breath. It is this revolutionary system of yoga that has become one of the most popular and common forms of exercise practised in modern society with millions of practitioners From different fields.

Pranayama

Pranayama, which is a divine treasure given to mankind through our ancient seers and rishis is the fourth of the eight folds of Yoga. Customarily it has been a common practice in the ancient practitioners of yoga which greatly benefited their health and energy.

The term "Pranayama" combines two Sanskrit words: In Sanskrit it is a combination of two words; the first ‘Prana’ is a term referring to the life force or vital energy and the second ‘Ayama’ provoking the meaning of extending or controlling. As a cosmic force Prana stands for the energy that gives life and invigorates our physical form when we breathe in and out. Concerning Pranayama, one must control this life force and learn how to regulate and lead it in its course. Unlike the natural, impulse and unvarying kind of breathing, pranayama is a variable one which allows our conscious control of the velocity and depth of breath.

Pranayama helps one to gain the control of one’s breath that in turn can control the physical and mental conditions of an individual. Apart from expanding the lungs capacity it also assists in the balance between mind and body. Pranayama is all about controlling our breath in such a way that will help us respond to stress, enhance our concentration abilities and gain a closer relationship with our soul.

Yoga Philosophy

Yoga is not only a series of movements but it is a state of mind and it develops through concentrations and associations. Yoga concept lies in the idea that it indicates the right and proper way of practising in order to bring about a state of lasting happiness, mental stability and sharpened intellect. The benefits of yoga are innovations in western world and the philosophical approach to this form of exercise enables individuals to have a better and more fulfilling existence. Yoga philosophy has its roots in India and the first philosopher to codify these yielded principles is Maharishi Patanjali. The only philosophically connected system to theistic is Yoga, or one of the six classical orthodox Indian philosophies (Shad Darshanas), where Patanjali’s basic treatise, the Yoga Sutras provides an encyclopaedic account of the subject. Another name for this philosophical system is Seshwara Sankhyay or Theistic Sankhyay it has tie with the Sankhyay school of thought with the added accompaniment of the supreme being.

This higher power in yoga philosophy is portrayed as an entity–one which exists beyond the mortal plane, and remains untouched by mortal sorrows, the law of cause and effect (karma), or traditional society. It is not given for the purpose of emancipation but to set the seeker in the right direction towards attainments of freedom. Also important is the fact that the Bhagavad Gita is widely considered to be the scripture giving an overview of the Yoga philosophy or the Yoga Shastra which is the guide to Yoga.

This class will explore the fundamental questions that are surrounding the practice of yoga and that will provide knowledge on how to make a positive use of yoga to attain peace and spiritual development. Studying these teachings therefore helps practitioners to have a better understanding of the scope of yoga as a discipline which yields benefits in all aspects of life.

Alignment And Adjustment

Feeling of tension or pain in muscles while exercising some postures as a regular practice indulged in yoga is quite natural. Stretching in this manner is most often caused by normal changes in movement that the body experiences. Even if one is a Beginner or a Professional, there is bound to be occasional sharp pains or stress especially when undertaking some poses intermediate or even advanced and if well dealt with then it can lead to injuries. But you don’t need to panic. As with all these complicated conflicts, the remedy lies in the regular practice of good alignment.

An alignment class is aimed at showing you how you should ideally position yourself to perform each asana. The emphasis is on the positioning of your body as this allows for a proper performance of each asana with less or no possibility of getting an injury at all. In these classes, you discover how props are applied and how you can adjust them on the basis of your body.

This means that alignment is instrumental in helping a participant make each posture he or she takes to work well for him or her by improving his or her practice while at the same time preventing an individual from getting an injury. These classes offer very helpful information on how to preserve positions and stability of the body, so people can yoga without any injury regardless of their level.

Shatkarma

Shatkarma in the domain of yoga can be characterised as a complex of the cleaning procedures intended to restore the internal cleanliness and improve the general health of the organism. This term ‘Shatkarma’ is formed with two words, which is ‘Shat’ stands for six and ‘Karma’ stands for action, thus Shatkarma translates to ‘Six Actions’, which are fundamental actions that help in internal cleansing at its profound level. Cleansing (shatkriyas) are part of Hatha Yoga and it is clearly stated here that purification is the first stage of travelling on the path of yoga.

Shatkarma is very precisely described by Maharishi Gherand in Gherand Samhita where he mentions that these six purification practices are indeed the basic necessity to receive success in practising yoga. Consequently, from this ancient text one gets the impression that without engaging in Shatkarma, the performance of other Yoga asanas poses a major problem to yogis in their yogic practice.

Shatkarma is very important in maintaining the health of an individual with many functions of helping in the prevention of diseases. Currently, people spend millions of dollars every year on the treatment and cure of diseases but many diseases are there due to failure in dealing with the causes. Shatkarma acts as a preventive measure in that it attempts to cure the causes of disease from within the human body. Thus, the Shatkarma reveals a powerful approach towards preserving health and improving the quality of life, which can seamlessly explain the essence of the ancient Yogic practices.

Yoga Anatomy And Physiology

The dynamics and functions of yoga give much attention to the scientific and even medical aspects of the discipline and calls into attention the changes it creates with the muscles, bones, and other structures of the body. It is necessary to contradict popular opinion and state that Yoga is not only a set of asanas but rather a focused procedure that influences the organism’s structure at different levels and its activity. All the poses are directed at specific body parts, as anatomic to a subject’s limited ability and flexibility and as such they provide a therapeutic value.

Anatomy therefore is a structure study of the living organisms which is a branch in science. From the point of view of yoga practice, anatomy is an elaboration of internal structure – how the bones, muscles, tendons, and organs work within the framework of asanas. This knowledge enables practitioners to do the asanas accurately and safely, boosting the benefits while reducing the dangers of achieving a wrong posture. 

This is more than the structure of the body, the mind and the flow of energy or ‘prana’ an individual’s body needs for it to become healthy. While yogic psychology deals with practical psychology, yogic physiology discusses the physiological functions of the human system at molecular and cellular level. To understand the link between the physical practice and methods of Arya Veda it describes how the body reacts to asanas, pranayama, and meditation. Knowledge of yoga physiology enables one to appreciate how yoga practices affect the oxygen exchange in our body, the circulation of blood, the neurological mechanisms and muscles hence promoting wellbeing. 

Asanas and pranayama yoga styles, among others, give you a clue on how to enhance the body fitness in terms of flexibility, strength, mind clarity and balance. Concisely, yoga anatomy and physiology endow the practitioners with the scientific background needed to optimise their practice thus metamorphosing yoga into an instrument of physical healing, mental tranquillity, and energetic harmony.

Meditation

Yoga describes meditation as central to the practice since it entails providing the body and the mind the needed reprieve from anger and other negative vices. It kinda helps relieve ‘noise’ in one’s head and as such helps ‘reset’ a person’s whole body. In today’s lifestyle which is full of stress, it is good to develop mastery in meditation. Failure to master this practice also contributes to increased stress levels while, on the other hand, mastering it contributes to the improvement of handling life’s tasks with clarity and manners.

Practising the act of meditation every so often has been deemed to have serious enhancement effects especially in eradicating stress and anxiety, something that is quite common in today’s world. Some of the most common mental illnesses include anxiety and depression which will definitely alter the way you lead your life, but through meditation, you have the opportunity to manage your thoughts and feelings on your own. 

The hardest part is not to sit with closed eyes and look at a single point, but to learn how to be mindful, which in one form may involve listening to your breath, to the rhythmic sounds of nature. Such moments of presence bring your focus towards the inside and that is probably why they are rightly said to be nearer to meditation. 

Real meditation is the state where one would abstraction from the outside environment and live in tranquillity in the inner mind. Here one is not just at the meditating level but goes higher to the extent of becoming an epitome of meditation. The ability to enter a deeper meditative state helps to achieve a state of mindfulness where, as you find yourself stress-free for example, your mind is pretty much clear. Meditation is one of the most powerful tools one can ever use in changing his or her life for the better since it offers a chance to train the mind, make it strong, and focus on overcoming hardship in life.

When we honour them in this way, it creates a ripple effect of positivity and growth in life, and we can't help but feel grateful and appreciative. 

Several yoga gurus, like

  • Lahiri Mahasaya, who brought Kriya Yoga back to life 
  • Swami Vivekanand who introduced the West to Indian philosophies & yoga 
  • Swami Kuvalayananda, who through his first scientific journey about yoga, pioneered the scientific foundation of yoga 
  • Tirumalayi K. is also known as the father of modern yoga. He revived Hatha Yoga and is best known for developing the Vinyasa Krama Yoga style. 
  • K. Pattabhi, who made Ashtanga yoga famous in the world

Note:Have enlightened the world and contributed their best teachings to us.

If you have the opportunity take the leap and attend this school. Their level of dedication, focus, mixed with fun and playfulness is quite amazing. My yoga and spirituality deepened immensely. There’s were field trips and the most amazing food made for you daily. Ahhh talking about my experience is making me miss my time with these amazing yogis. Oh and taking daily dips in the Ganges was such a beautiful thing.

A fantastic experience

A fantastic experience. Teachers were so highly motivated and committed to our training. Their experience and knowledge was outstanding and I gained so much, in terms of my personal practice and my confidence to teach this beautiful practice to others. Being part of a group was great and we benefited much from each other. There was also much fun and laughter.
