Teacher Training Course- Level 1
Discover a space where your journey in yoga is nurtured with care and intention. Our Training Program is designed to help you build a strong foundation, illuminate your inner light, and empower you to share it with the world.
Journey in Yoga Teacher Training
Have you ever watched a diya burn, its steady flame illuminating the darkness? The light it casts isn’t merely accidental—it’s the result of careful preparation, constant immersion, and nurturing guidance. This is the essence of our Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program at Pratyaksha Yoga.
Here, every student is a diya waiting to be lit, and this course is the spark that ignites the journey. It’s a path where you immerse yourself in the oil of knowledge, fueled by discipline and practice, preparing to sustain your inner flame against life’s winds. This is your chance to transform, to shine brightly for yourself and others.
Sadhana Outline
Take it one step at a time. This is not a race, but a journey.
Like the diya’s wick soaking in oil, we encourage you to prepare by incorporating regular physical activity into your daily routine. This foundation ensures that you embark on the course ready to fully immerse yourself in the experience.
Our curriculum is rooted in action and reflection. Through practices like Shatkarma, advanced Asana, and Pranayama, you’ll gain deep insights that transform your understanding of yoga.
With the guidance of foundational texts like the Yoga Sutras and Hatha Yoga Pradipika, you’ll explore topics such as Siddhanta (Ashtanga Yoga, Pancha Prana, Pancha Kosha), uncovering the philosophy that shapes the reality of practice and existence.
As the diya’s flame grows steady, you too will develop the confidence to teach and share. We believe that teaching and learning are deeply intertwined—when you share, you grow.
