200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training Course Curriculum
Comprehensive Curriculum of the 200 Hour YTTC Rishikesh at Happy Yoga International
Ashtanga Yoga
We primarily focus on Ashtanga Yoga, the key philosophical system given by Maharshi Patanjali, in the Yoga Sutras. The Ashtanga system details a six-legged path towards achieving enlightenment or self-realization. Our curriculum is essentially based on Yoga Sutras by Patanjali.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga deals with the Asanas or the body postures to give you physical agility and strength to sit in yogic postures for a long period of time. We cover all the essential elements of Hatha Yoga including the key Asanas related to all the body parts.
ShatKriya
Shatkriya refers to the purification of a body through a system of yogic practices like Neti, Dhauti, Nauli, Basti etc. The practices are taught exactly as outlined by Yogi Swatmarama in Hatha Yoga Pradipika.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is the state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. Understand how Yoga Nidra can help in experiencing quick relaxation. Discover how regular practice of Yoga Nidra can help you rejuvenate and relax.
Vedic Chanting
Understand the effect of Vedic chanting on spiritual awakening and connecting with the divine. Also, understand how mantras affect your body, mind and soul, and help you in spiritual progress.
Alignment and Balancing
Perfecting the Asanas involves learning how to achieve proper body alignment and maintain body balance during asanas. Alignment classes help you achieve better body balance and alignment to achieve success during Asanas.
Pranayama
Pranayama is one of the most crucial elements of Yoga. Prana means life, Yama means control. Hence, Pranayama essentially means controlling your breath. It has been proved that breath has a direct effect on our thoughts. Incessant thoughts lead to shortness of breath. Similarly, deep breath leads to the calmness of mind. Pranayama leads to a control of breath as well as prana to enhance the meditative experience.

We cover all the essential techniques and forms of meditation. Enhancing meditation experience makes the core of yoga practice. Without a seamless meditation experience, your spiritual journey won’t go far.
