200hrs Yoga Teacher Training-Training Requirements

To be eligible to attend the intensive 200 hours Yoga Teachers Training course, we have established pre-requisites. Pre-requisites help to create Yoga Teachers Training groups that are able to work together for a month of intensive yoga journey. This is a journey of personal and professional development that builds on the practitioner's previous experience. It's easier and comfortable to guide trainees in a Yoga session if they have previous experience about yoga.
For the 200 hrs Yoga Teachers Training course, students are required to have at least 2-3 year of regular yoga practice or at least 2-3 times a week . We believe that this will help to develop the teaching-learning relationships.
We advise our trainees to read Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita, Siva Samhita, anatomy books etc., and practice Asana, Pranayama, Bandha, Mudra and meditation to attend YTT course with us.

Please keep in mind that we send specific pre-requisite soft copy by email material/subject to our students to study and practice before joining the course, after student's seat reservation/registration for YTT.
