Understanding The Basics
The 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTTC) is the globally recognised entry-level certification for aspiring yoga teachers, standardised by Yoga Alliance USA — covering asana, breathwork, philosophy, anatomy and teaching methodology over a minimum of 200 contact hours.
The course is designed in a step-by-step way so you can build your personal practice while also learning how to teach yoga with confidence.
You gain a well-rounded understanding of yoga through both practical training and theoretical study, experiencing the practice deeply while learning the knowledge behind it.
Once you complete this training, you are eligible to enrol in the 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh and take your practice and teaching to the next level.
Course Structure
The 200 hour curriculum is organised around the traditional pillars of yoga and covers 14 core subjects across the full duration of the course — each taught as its own dedicated module by a specialist teacher, so the depth you get in every area is genuine and not surface-level.
Each subject is revisited through the course so rather than studying one topic for a week and moving on, you return to every subject consistently. This repetition — the traditional gurukul method — is what makes 24 days of genuine immersion noticeably different from the same number of hours spread across weekends at home.
