FIND THE TEACHER IN YOU
200 Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training
Hatha Yoga teacher training is a profound yoga course on alignment, purification and energy channelization towards absolute balance of mind and body. Based on the basic principle of yoga as union Hatha Yoga brings unification. It is the union of the two polarities that we find universally throughout the nature. Hatha Yoga represents this duality in human system as ‘Ha’ which is right nostril or sun and ‘Tha’ which is left nostril or moon. When the dual aspects of Sun and Moon are aligned and merged there is awakening of higher consciousness in the practitioner. At the apparent level the combination of stimulation and relaxation or the awakening and calming practices complete and balance the aspect of Ha-Tha
Hatha Yoga is the mother of all yoga styles and gives strong foundation in all the key elements of yoga like asana, pranayama, kriya and creates a conducive environment within us for higher practices like dharana and dhyana. Bring the cohesiveness between the forces of ‘Ha-Tha’ to broaden your understanding of yoga and deepen your practice with our yoga teacher training in India and thereby bring out yoga teacher hidden in you.
Our Philosophy Of Hatha Yoga Teacher Training
We keep our teacher training program real and authentic to the core. We achieve this by adhering to the principles of Yoga given in the important yogic texts. The most prominent of them are Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Patanjali Yogasutra and Bhagavad Gita. “Calming the mental distractions” as suggested by Patanjali is the bottom line of Yoga practice. Hatha Yoga brings this final result in a beautiful way of na hathāt na balāt “not with brutal force”, suggesting that a path of moderation is the best way to culture the mind. The path of moderation is the skill of Abhyasa and Vairagya which prevents us to deviate to the extremes.
When we train we also keep in mind the benchmarks of Yoga practice and teaching uphold by Yoga Alliance. We distinguish our self in this by meeting and exceeding the standards of quality, competence and safety of Yoga practitioners maintained by Yoga Alliance.
