300 Hour Yoga TTC
The 300 hour yoga TTC is the subsequent step of 200 hour yoga TTC. If you have completed our 200 hour yoga TTC you can recall, and if you are a new student you can see in the description that 200 hour yoga TTC is based on fundamental principles of Abhyasa and Vairagya that we find in Yoga Sutra. The principle of Abhyasa (effort) and Vairagya (relaxation, equanimity, non-attachment) come lively on mat through Hatha Yoga in the form of ‘Ha’ and ‘Tha’. That is why hatha yoga is a springboard to Raja Yoga. Thus, in your 200 hour hatha yoga TTC you have accessed and studied Hatha yoga and walked to certain extent towards Raja Yoga, for none other than experiencing the state of stable tranquility within. This 300 hour yoga TTC is continuation to that calmness where we try to put into practice the achieved tranquility in real world affairs for real transformation.
Our Philosophy of 300 Hour Yoga TTC
300 hour yoga TTC is consisted of advanced yoga techniques such as advanced asana, advanced pranayama and advanced shatarmka. Students will also be introduced into the technique of Vipassana, the most ancient meditation technique that the Buddha had gifted to humanity. The 300-hour yoga TTC is a sincere effort for the manifestation of the fruits of yoga in our lives. The principle remains the same. Abhyasa and Vairagya are now applied and strengthened more deeply and distinctively as we learn to observe the every single moment filled with fleeting sensations and feelings, and learn to maintain equanimity. It is a journey from Bahiranga (external) to Antaranga (internal) Yoga
We further move in our spiritual journey and sail over from Astiak (orthodox) school to Nastika (unorthodox) school of Indian philosophy. Here nothing is left for philosophical speculation, imagination or abstract explanation, but a concrete work on ground reality for individual’s unmasking and makeover.
