Why Our Ytt 300 Hours Course?

For thousands of years, yoga has been passed from guru to disciple through intensive, residential apprenticeships. Yoga philosophies are more deeply grasped through discussion and practice than by reading or attending lectures. This course provides students with that experience by combining the mastery of advanced postures and breathing techniques, the deep knowledge of yoga philosophy, and a holistic yogic lifestyle. After all, yoga is not just about acrobatic contortion, but rather a path to harmony with nature and universal relief from suffering. Our holistic approach keeps yoga rooted in this ethic.

Yoga Teacher Training Course

With small class sizes, philosophy lessons are interactive, the curriculum can be customized, and you will regularly teach asana and pranayama classes. Our gurus provide feedback to help you develop your style of teaching and consolidate your learning by sharing it with others. After completion of Yoga Teacher Training 300 hour program, you will be able to teach students of all levels clearly and confidently. It enables you to register as an RYT-500, creating new opportunities for you to teach anywhere in the world.

We have understood that this immersive approach allows for the most effective learning.
