28 Day Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in Kerala

The 28-day Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga Teacher Training at Devvrat Yoga Sangha is a complete immersion into two classical styles of yoga. Each morning, you'll start with a two-hour class that combines asana and pranayama, focusing on proper alignment and connecting breath to movement. The Hatha class explores all 70 asanas of the Ashtanga Primary Series in depth, while the afternoon Mysore-style class lets you practice at your own pace with personalized adjustments from the teacher.

Teaching methodology is a key part of the curriculum. You'll learn how to sequence classes, use your voice effectively, and offer hands-on adjustments that support and correct students safely. Anatomy and physiology are taught with a practical lens, helping you understand how the body works in each pose. The course also covers yoga philosophy and the history of yoga, grounding your teaching in a broader context.

The location, Varkala, on the southwestern coast of India, provides a serene backdrop with its white sand beaches and palm trees. The school is just a short walk from the beach, so you can easily spend your free time by the ocean. The small group size—capped at 12 to 15 students—ensures that everyone gets individual guidance and feedback.

Devvrat, the lead teacher, is an E-RYT-500 certified instructor with a deep background in Ashtanga, having practiced at KPYAJI in Mysore. He is joined by Abhishek, an E-RYT-200 certified teacher from Rishikesh with a master's degree in Yogic Science. Together, they bring a wealth of experience and a passion for sharing yoga as a way of life.
