Our aim — to provide our students a holistic yoga teacher training experience enriched with yogic traditions!
Our yoga teacher training program is based on traditional Hatha yoga Series. Daily lectures will include topics like functional anatomy, yoga philosophy, Subtle anatomy - meditation, pranayama, mantras and more.
We start off the training program with brining all students to a common level while building a strong foundation with proper focus on alignment and breathing.
Having established a common platform, students from week 2 onwards dive deeper into his/her own practise with more hands on experience of teaching as well. This is the week students start getting creative in their mind to showcase their creativity in the following 3rd week.
By the end of the yoga course, you will be able to confidently teach a Hatha Yoga class suitable for all levels and offer modifications for students with injuries or physical limitations with the sound knowledge gained in anatomy and alignment classes during the ttc.
AT RYD - the TTC course is made up of the 3 main foundational pillars of Yoga - Your Body, History & Subtle Anatomy of Yoga and The Art of Teaching
Thorough understanding of Human Anatomy is the base for Asana practise. It's not just all technical and theoretical. Its hands on experience right from the first week of the ttc. You will learn the anatomy and physiology relevant to yoga to strengthen your own classroom explanations, instructions and corrections of asanas. The classes will cover the systems of the body, terminology and yoga asana alignment based on applied anatomy.

Asanas of the following groups will be covered during this ttc - Meditative Postures, Dynamic Postures, Standing Postures, Balancing Postures, Inverted Postures, Twisting Postures, Back-Bend Postures, Forward-Bend Postures and Relaxation Postures.

A typical day at Rishikesh Yog Dham starts with a soul warming herbal drink/tea to kick start the body metabolism needed for the whole days activities lined up at the ttc. Followed by the morning gathering comes Cleansing of the mind and body
through Shatkarma or yogic cleansing as it's popularly understood amongst the general masses. The Morning Yoga practise begins with a small session of Soul Healing (Mantra and Meditation).
Morning Yoga practise is all about self realisation of the body, understanding its limits and pushing oneself to overcome the limitations of the mind. This Pivotal experience consists of practising different forms of Yoga - Hatha, Vinyasa flow and Ashtanga primary series.
This effort is to give you an insight of all major forms of yoga, while also enabling you details to help choose the form that suits your body and mind the most.
- Mid day consists of Understanding the Human body through anatomical point of view and a relaxing meditation hour just before lunch.
- Lunch is followed by a quick rest time and then comes one of the most interesting parts of the yoga ttc, the whole reason of one choosing the path of yoga - Yoga Philosophy.
- The ttc day ends with Yoga Teaching Methodology class and a light Satvic dinner.
- The course dives deeper from the second week onwards with lot of practical hands-on assisting, one on one teaching, understanding key alignment and its applications during practise sessions.
