200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification on the Banks of the Kaveri River

The 200-hour YTTC at Yogakulam Academy is a comprehensive program covering six main areas: techniques and practice, teaching methodology, anatomy and physiology, philosophy and ethics, practicum, and elective hours. You'll start each day with Hatha yoga at sunrise and finish with Ashtanga in the late afternoon, with philosophy, anatomy, and alignment workshops filling the middle of the day.

The curriculum is deep. Beyond the asana practice, you'll study pranayama, mudras, mantras, meditation, and Yoga Nidra. Philosophy sessions cover the history of yoga, the eight limbs, and the nature of the mind, drawing on texts you'll read and discuss. Anatomy classes look at the body from both a Western and a yogic perspective, and you'll learn how to adjust postures safely and effectively.

Teaching practice is a core part of the course. From the second week, you'll start teaching short segments under supervision, and by the final week, you'll lead full classes to your peers and receive detailed feedback. The teachers are a mix of seasoned masters like Prana Ji, who specializes in pranayama and philosophy, and younger instructors like Sachin Chauhan, who offers a solid grounding in Hatha and Ashtanga. Their styles complement each other, and there's real individual attention because the group is small.

Away from the mat, the ashram has a small shop for daily needs, a garden with paths for barefoot walks, and laundry facilities. There's Wi-Fi in common areas, though you'll be encouraged to disconnect and focus on your practice. The final evaluation is a blend of written, oral, and practical tests, but it's designed to be supportive rather than stressful—a chance to show what you've learned during the month.
