Our 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course Overview

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga is one of the branches of yoga, which utilizes the physical body and external aura, to reach higher levels of consciousness. It is practiced at a slower pace, in comparison to other forms of yoga. The Hatha Yoga stream consists of various controlled movements and stretching. While doing the same, the maximum focus will be on your breath. It is the best, if you have just started on your yoga journey. If you are just starting out, Hatha Yoga can bring about a balance in two different levels of energy. So, it is also a form of initiation into the holistic ambiance. Hatha Yoga helps in the preparation for more higher forms of yoga, like Ashtanga Vinyasa, which are more dynamic. Unless your body is fit enough, you cannot do such dynamic poses. Moreover, Hatha Yoga prepares the mind for greater acceptance. So, you can use Hatha Yoga as a step towards a higher journey. It is very grounding in nature as well.

Prana means ‘vital life force’ and Ayama means ‘expansion or extension or expanding the dimension of Prana. You can elevate the energies around you with the help of Pranayama.

Satkarma

The Shatkarmas are also called Shatkriyas. It is a set of body purification techniques, with the help of which, you can cleanse your system internally. In order to move ahead in your yogic journey, you need to have a strong body, as it serves as the foundation for yoga sadhana. Shatkarmas consists of six cleansing techniques, like Basti, Nauli, Dhauti, Trataka, Neti, and Kapalbhati. Each of these kriyas target specific organs in the alimentary canal. Apart from just strengthening the body, it also leads to the balance of the Tridoshas. It also helps in the flow of Prana through the Nadis. . Kapalbhati is not only a kriya, but it is also a Pranayama. So, you get to indulge in two practices, rolled into one. It is a forceful breathing practice, that can aid in alleviating stress from your brain. You can also practice Neti, very easily. However, a guide will initiate the process, for you to feel comfortable later on.

Bandhas

Bandha is a lock. You can lock yourself in certain postures, to increase energy flow to specific organs. You can also call it the energy lock. There are four main bandhas, that the yogis practiced from early on. They include Mula, Uddiyana, Jalandhara and Maha Bandha. The Maha bandha is a combination of the three bandhas. Moreover, it is the highest form of body lock. Practicing bandhas involves muscular contractions. The Mula bandha is especially useful in awakening the Kundalini energy. The Uddiyana Bandha energizes the Heart Chakra and the abdominal organs. Likewise, the Jalandhara Bandha energizes the thyroid and parathyroid, along with respiratory organs. You can also practice the three together, starting from the throat. Bandhas help to lock and release energies from various organs, and increase blood as well as energy flow. You also learn to observe the performance later.

Yogic Relaxation Techniques

The answer to life’s stress and tension is yoga. It has been widely researched, that yoga can change your life, by reducing stress and anxiety. No matter, where you are, at work or at home, yoga can help you. If you are new to yoga, you can start your yoga journey with mindfulness. Your breath is the single-most thing, that can alleviate the mind, body and soul. Moreover, mindfulness is the main modality, that can alleviate your symptoms. When you move into the postures, you should ensure to think about your own self-respect and self-care. It is the curiosity towards yourself, that can help you relax. Some of the easy poses, that you must practice today are Sukhasana, Uttanasana, and Tadasana, to name a few. These are very easy for one and all. You can practice the asanas, after a few hours of having your food. When the stomach is full, your body’s energies are aligned toward the stomach.

Alignment, Correction & Adjustment

Alignment and adjustment are fundamental concepts in the practice of Yoga, both for practitioners and instructors. Here’s a breakdown of each:

What is alignment in Yoga?

Alignment refers to the precise positioning of the body in Yoga poses (Asanas) to achieve optimal physical and energetic benefits while minimizing the risk of injury. It involves the correct placement of various body parts, such as the feet, legs, pelvis, spine, arms, and head, in relation to one another and to the ground. Proper alignment ensures that the body is in a balanced and stable position, allowing for the efficient flow of energy (Prana) throughout the body. It also helps to create space within the joints, improve posture, enhance flexibility, and build strength. Alignment principles may vary depending on the specific Yoga style or tradition but generally emphasize alignment with the natural curves of the spine and engagement of relevant muscle groups.

What is Adjustment in Yoga?

Adjustment, also known as hands-on adjustment or assists, involves the gentle physical manipulation of a student’s body by the instructor to help them refine their alignment, deepen their stretch, or experience a pose more fully. Adjustments can provide valuable feedback and support to students, helping them overcome physical limitations, release tension, and access deeper levels of awareness in their practice. Adjustments are typically performed with sensitivity and mindfulness, respecting the individual’s body and boundaries. They may include subtle corrections to alignment, gentle pressure to encourage relaxation or engagement, or supportive touch to guide the student into a safer or more effective expression of a pose.

Yoga Philosophy

Along with the practical applications of yoga, you need to fall back at times, on the foundation of yoga. That is what Yoga Philosophy is all about. The main philosophy of yoga states that the minds, body, and soul are all one. You need to know about the philosophical ideas, to be able to utilize the various practices under the umbrella of yoga. In yoga, you cannot choose one or leave out another aspect. The entire practice has to be carried out in totality. Spiritual ignorance can only create suffering, and mothing more than that. So, you need to amass the wealth of knowledge that philosophy of yoga offers. You can call it the blue print of your yogic practice. It enlists what all you should follow, and what you should not. The main principle of yoga is that the mind, body and soul is one. You cannot separate one from the other. It also allows the concept of God. It is amongst the six orthodox schools.

Kapalbhati is not only a kriya, but it is also a Pranayama. So, you get to indulge in two practices, rolled into one. It is a forceful breathing practice, that can aid in alleviating stress from your brain. You can also practice Neti, very easily. However, a guide will initiate the process, for you to feel comfortable later on.

Bandhas

Bandha is a lock. You can lock yourself in certain postures, to increase energy flow to specific organs. You can also call it the energy lock. There are four main bandhas, that the yogis practiced from early on. They include Mula, Uddiyana, Jalandhara and Maha Bandha. The Maha bandha is a combination of the three bandhas. Moreover, it is the highest form of body lock. Practicing bandhas involves muscular contractions. The Mula bandha is especially useful in awakening the Kundalini energy. The Uddiyana Bandha energizes the Heart Chakra and the abdominal organs. Likewise, the Jalandhara Bandha energizes the thyroid and parathyroid, along with respiratory organs. You can also practice the three together, starting from the throat. Bandhas help to lock and release energies from various organs, and increase blood as well as energy flow. You also learn to observe the performance later.

Mudra - Gesture

A mudra is a gesture or seal in yoga. You may come across mudras in dance forms as well, however, they are much different. When you practice mudras, you can channelize Prana through the body. There are various kinds of mudras, like Hasta mudras, Kaya mudras, and Chitta Mudras. Hasta mudras are the most important in Yoga practice. According to the Science, Ayurveda, there are five elements or Mahabhutas. Fire, earth, air, water, and ether. Each finger represents one maha bhuta.

Alignment, Correction & Adjustment

Alignment and adjustment are fundamental concepts in the practice of Yoga, both for practitioners and instructors. Here’s a breakdown of each:

What is alignment in Yoga?

Alignment refers to the precise positioning of the body in Yoga poses (Asanas) to achieve optimal physical and energetic benefits while minimizing the risk of injury. It involves the correct placement of various body parts, such as the feet, legs, pelvis, spine, arms, and head, in relation to one another and to the ground. Proper alignment ensures that the body is in a balanced and stable position, allowing for the efficient flow of energy (Prana) throughout the body. It also helps to create space within the joints, improve posture, enhance flexibility, and build strength. Alignment principles may vary depending on the specific Yoga style or tradition but generally emphasize alignment with the natural curves of the spine and engagement of relevant muscle groups.

What is Adjustment in Yoga?

Adjustment, also known as hands-on adjustment or assists, involves the gentle physical manipulation of a student’s body by the instructor to help them refine their alignment, deepen their stretch, or experience a pose more fully. Adjustments can provide valuable feedback and support to students, helping them overcome physical limitations, release tension, and access deeper levels of awareness in their practice. Adjustments are typically performed with sensitivity and mindfulness, respecting the individual’s body and boundaries. They may include subtle corrections to alignment, gentle pressure to encourage relaxation or engagement, or supportive touch to guide the student into a safer or more effective expression of a pose.

Teaching Methodology

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Teaching is an art and it can be developed through practice and knowledge.

Teach with sincerity and compassion for yourself first and then your students will benefit as well.

Teach from the heart, never from the mind.

Respect that divine energy has honored you to be a teacher to help people.

Changing peoples’ lives into positivity by teaching them yoga and meditation; as a teacher, your inner journey and happiness will grow.

Respect the students, be friendly and professional but at the same time strong inside not to entertain any negativity while teaching yoga.

Surrender to life and divine energy; you will feel guided by the unknown force.

Enjoy teaching mindfully with joy and happiness.

Be present, aware, and energetic all the time during or after the class.

Be regular for your own self-practice of yoga and meditation; you owe it to yourself and your students.

Be aware and sensitive to students’ poses, alignment, breathing pattern, group energy, and allow the teaching and response to happen accordingly and spontaneously.

Pay equal attention to the students but focus more attention on beginners until they catch up with the regular class.

Welcome the students – greeting the students makes them comfortable and feel welcomed.

Start the class on time and end on time. This honors the student since most students have limited time and have sacrificed to get to the class.

Always ask if the students have any physical problems and injuries.

Start the class with some chanting, prayer, or a short meditation.

The voice of the teacher should be audible to everyone and the volume should be according to the group.

Give clear instructions.

Make adjustments verbally and physically.

Appreciate and motivate the students during the class.

Move around the class effectively to see all the students and to check their alignment.

Yoga Philosophy

Along with the practical applications of yoga, you need to fall back at times, on the foundation of yoga. That is what Yoga Philosophy is all about. The main philosophy of yoga states that the minds, body, and soul are all one. You need to know about the philosophical ideas, to be able to utilize the various practices under the umbrella of yoga. In yoga, you cannot choose one or leave out another aspect. The entire practice has to be carried out in totality. Spiritual ignorance can only create suffering, and mothing more than that. So, you need to amass the wealth of knowledge that philosophy of yoga offers. You can call it the blue print of your yogic practice. It enlists what all you should follow, and what you should not. The main principle of yoga is that the mind, body and soul is one. You cannot separate one from the other. It also allows the concept of God. It is amongst the six orthodox schools.

Mantra Chanting

Mantras are group of syllables, or complete words, or phrases. Most religious and spiritual practitioners, believe them to have originated from Sanskrit. Om is the believed to be the first sound that originated on earth, and has divine connotations. It produces higher vibrations in the body and mind. Mantras also serve an important role in Tantra. You can also term it as a mind vibration that helps to focus the thoughts and feelings, and the highest intention. With time, the mantras and their vibrations sink deeper into the consciousness. You can practice mantra recitation to make your energies vibrate at a higher level. Om is one of the mantras sounds that assumes a lot of significance. It releases subtle energies, that can aid your meditation and yoga practice. You can chant mantras at any time, and place. But they have the maximum significance, when you chant them at the Brahma Muhurta. You will feel the vibrations emanating from the mantras, as you make them a part of your life.

What is Mantra?

The word “mantra” is derived from two words. The first word is “Manas” or “mind,” which relates to the “man” syllable means “To think”, the second word is a suffix “Tra” which means instruments, tools, protect, or free from. Therefore, the word Mantra in its most literal sense means “to free from the mind Mantra is a tool used by the Mind to be free from all kinds of distractions of the Mind field.
