Overview
500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course
- Hatha Yoga- Hatha yoga is the oldest form of yoga, where' Ha’ stands for Sun and ‘tha’ stands for Moon. Together, hatha means balancing the energies of the sun and moon within one’s body and using them to achieve excellent physical health.
- Ashtanga Yoga- Ashtanga Yoga means the practice of 8 Limbs or body parts in union or one complete cycle. Ashtanga is a dynamic style of Hatha yoga with 6 series or sets of postures with a focus on breath & one’s internal energy.
- Vinyasa Yoga - Vinyasa or Vinyasa Flow yoga is a contemporary style of yoga that continuously combines certain poses from Hatha and Ashtanga. The practitioner moves from one pose to another in a flow or without stopping.
- Yin Yoga - Yin Yoga is slow-paced yoga practiced as a set of exercises based on Taoism. Its poses are practiced for a longer time, focusing on the free flow of ‘Qi’ (Energy) through the body.
- Meditation - Meditation and mantra-chanting to raise spiritual connectivity and awareness levels are important parts of this 500-hour YTTC as they help clear self-doubts, release stress and anxiety, and improve focus and mental health. Two types of meditation will be taught in this multi-style yoga course.
- Anatomy & Physiology- Anatomy is the study of the body’s structure that is seen, can be measured & weighed. Physiology is the study of chemical & physical processes that take place in one’s body and how they work in sync to support various functions of one’s body.
- Philosophy & Shatkarma-Philosophy is living a yogic lifestyle & thinking accordingly. It is more about how yoga learners believe, act, and conduct themselves during the course. Shatkarma is all about purifying one’s body and mind. For this, there is ‘Jal neti’ & ‘Vayu neti,’ both of which purify & boost your blood and oxygen circulation across your body.
