200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training - Curriculum Highlights
Our Yoga Teacher Training in Goa, India, is crafted for students of all levels, from beginners just starting their yoga journeys to seasoned practitioners with years of experience. This immersive program provides a hands-on approach, ensuring a deep understanding of yoga that enhances both your knowledge and practice.
Beginners who are completely new to yoga are also warmly welcomed, making this course accessible to everyone interested in exploring the world of yoga.
All our asana classes are dedicated to the in-depth study and practice of the Ashtanga primary series. In these sessions, asanas are practiced in a dynamic, set sequence, with a strong focus on mastering the A and B series. Emphasis is placed on breath control (`pranayama`), energy locks (`bandhas`), and the gaze (`drishti`).
Ashtanga, which means “eight limbs,” is a branch of yoga introduced to the modern world by K. Pattabhi Jois in the 20th century. While Ashtanga yoga is a prominent focus, we also delve deeply into Hatha yoga. Hatha yoga practice includes postures, pranayama, proper yogic diet, body purification, and discipline, all aimed at achieving health and well-being as a foundation for spiritual growth.
In these classes, you will also learn the Sanskrit names of the postures, connecting you to the ancient roots of this practice.
Pranayama is the conscious control of the vital life energy, with `prana` meaning life force and `ayana` meaning control. It involves mastering correct yogic breathing techniques, transforming breathing from an unconscious act into a mindful, intentional practice. Pranayama is particularly beneficial for healing stress-related disorders, promoting overall balance and well-being.
In our course, you will learn a variety of specific pranayama techniques, each with its own unique healing and balancing effects:
- Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing)
- Ujjayi (Victorious Breath)
- Kapalbhati (Skull Shining Breath)
- Bhastrika (Bellows Breath)
- Bhramari (Humming Bee Breath)
- Sheetali (Cooling Breath)
- Shitkari (Hissing Breath)
These techniques will deepen your understanding and practice of pranayama, guiding you towards greater physical and mental harmony.
In our Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC), we explore the power of Sanskrit mantras, which are ancient sound syllables that resonate with specific parts of the body, promoting healing and balance in both the mind and body. These mantras, derived from the Sanskrit alphabet, are known for their ability to induce positive frequencies and facilitate spiritual growth.
During the course, you will learn various mantras, each with a unique purpose:
- Mantras for Good Health: Enhance well-being and vitality.
- Mantras for Wealth: Attract abundance and prosperity.
- Mantras to Remove Obstacles: Clear the path for success and peace.
- Seed Mantras: Activate deep spiritual and energetic healing.
These mantras will be taught with their proper pronunciation and significance, enabling you to integrate them into your personal practice and teaching.

- Kleshas: The five obstacles to spiritual growth.
