Advanced Ashtanga & Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in Varkala

This advanced training builds on a 200-hour certification and takes a deep dive into the Ashtanga Primary Series, taught in the traditional Mysore style, while also exploring Hatha Yoga's alignment and breathwork. Each day combines morning practice, afternoon workshops, and evening lectures, covering anatomy, physiology, the subtle energy bodies, and key texts like the Bhagavad Gita. You'll learn to adapt asanas for injuries, pregnancy, and seniors, and get extensive feedback on hands-on assists and verbal instruction during peer teaching sessions.

The course also emphasizes the art of teaching: how to structure classes, sequence effectively, and create a space where students feel safe and seen. You'll learn about yoga as a business and how to market your offerings. As part of the Devvrat Yoga Sangha community, you'll join a network of practitioners from around the world, with access to ongoing support after graduation.

Varkala itself is a highlight—a cliff-top town known for its beaches, ayurvedic spas, and laid-back vibe. The training is held at a simple, clean facility close to the beach, with a garden, restaurant, and dedicated yoga shala. Instructors include Devvrat, Ania, and Abhishek, each bringing years of teaching experience and deep knowledge of yoga philosophy and anatomy.
