Yoga philosophy is an integral part of yoga practice. It’s a like a Google map which helps the practitioners to know where they are and where they can be with correct perception and approach towards yoga practice. During the Yoga Teacher Training Course we will discuss in detail about major topics such as What is Yoga, Four paths of yoga, Eight Limbs of Yoga, Pancha Kosha (five sheaths of human existence), Bandhas (muscular locks), Mudras (energy circulation seals), Kriyas (yogic cleansing techniques) Mantra Chanting and it’s meaning and many more.

Benefits of asana practice will be minimized without regular practice of pranayama. Daily pranayama session should be included in the regular practice of Yoga. ‘Prana’ is the Universal Life Force Energy and ‘Ayama’ means Balancing, Controlling and Expanding of the vital energy. During 200 hours Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course, we will discuss the philosophy of Pranayama and it’s application. Eight major pranayamas will be examined and practiced in depth. Students will learn correct methods of practice and teaching of Pranayama from beginner to advance level with contraindications and benefits. In the beginner level of practice, regulation and duration of the breath will be focused. In intermediate level, Kumbhakas(Retention of the breath) will be practiced. In advance level, Bandhas(Muscular locks) will be adopted with retention of the breath. Students will experience important Pranayamas such as Vibhagiya Pranayama, Viloma, Bhastrika, Nadishudhi, Ujjayi, Bharamari, Shetali, Shatakri and Sadanata Pranayamas.

Because of our hectic lifestyle we accumulate lot of physical, mental and emotional toxins. Yogic kriyas are really helpful to remove gross and subtle toxins. Our Physical and Mental bodies are interlinked. If either one will become unstable which will create impact on another. Practice of Yogic cleansing techniques will be helpful to purify our gross and subtle bodies. Purification will make body lighter, which will be helpful for asana practice. During the course students will gain theoretical and practical knowledge of important Kriyas.  TTC students will learn all six major kriyas theoretically such as  Kapalabhati, Trataka, Neti, Dhouti, Nouli and Basti.

Each yoga posture has it’s own structure and principles of practicing in methodical order. Improper way of practicing any asana as a practitioner or correcting an asana as a teacher may bring injury to the body. Each body is different from other and it’s teacher’s responsibility to understand the need of adjustment accordingly. During the yoga course student will learn and understand the correct method of posture adjustments from beginner to advance level. Lead teacher will be guiding and assisting each student to learn hand placement, pressure and movements to adjusting different postures.  There are different category of the asanas such as Standing, Sitting, Arm balance, Closing series. Students will explore different techniques corrections of many asanas in each category.
