Yoga Teacher Training Program

General Information

We organize intensive four weeks residential Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Courses in our traditional Yoga Ashram in Khajuraho, India as well as at our Yoga center in Europe. We follow the teachings of Swami Sivananda and Swami Sri Vivekananda and our mission is to educate and train our students to become excellent Yoga teachers with proper understanding of Classical Hatha Yoga.

Our 200 hours Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher training program is an intensive training, which gives all the required skills and practical and theoretical information to become a successful teacher. The course is equally suitable for beginners as well as advance practitioners as it covers extensive curriculum with all the aspects of Classical Yoga including specific asana / yoga pose benefits, proper alignments, detailed corrections, personal modifications as well as contra indications of each asana in detail.
