India · 8 days · From USD 345
The 50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga with Srinatha is a structured, intensive program that balances hands-on practice with deep theoretical study. Mornings begin with a 90-minute Yin Yoga practice, where you'll learn to find stillness in poses held for several minutes. This is followed by a session on pranayama, teaching you breathing techniques that calm the nervous system and prepare you for meditation.
The curriculum is broken into four main blocks: anatomy and physiology, Yin Yoga philosophy, asanas and sequencing, and teaching methodology. Anatomy classes cover the skeletal, muscular, and fascial systems, giving you the knowledge to adjust poses for different body types. Philosophy draws on Taoism and the Yin-Yang balance, tying the physical practice to a broader worldview. In teaching methodology, you'll practice cueing, adjusting, and structuring a class that feels safe and inclusive for your future students.
What sets this training apart is the depth of the teaching. Dr. Srinatha doesn't just teach poses; he teaches a way of approaching the body. His unique methods, influenced by Paul Grilley and his own decades of experience, have earned him reviews that describe his classes as 'transformative' and 'speechless.' The school operates as a traditional shala, meaning you're part of a lineage, not just a customer on a course.
Mysore itself is part of the experience. As the birthplace of Ashtanga Yoga, the city is a global hub for yoga practitioners, creating an atmosphere that's both intense and welcoming. The accommodation and shala are located in Gokulam, a peaceful neighborhood known for its cafes and shops, yet quiet enough for focused study. You'll live and breathe yoga for eight days, with like-minded people, in a place where the practice has thrived for centuries.
