Yoga Teacher Training: 300-Hour Advanced Course in Bengaluru
This isn't a quick-fix certification. Our 300-hour advanced immersion in HSR Layout is a four-month path for serious seekers ready to integrate ancient discipline into modern life.
Our Guru-Shishya tradition in action. We believe in direct, hands-on mentorship to guide you safely into the deepest expressions of yoga. Here, a student receives expert assistance in Vrischikasana, building trust and unlocking potential.
This is more than a course; it's a complete immersion. This collage captures the essence of our Teacher Training: challenging asanas, deep philosophical discussions, hands-on adjustments from our gurus, and the quiet focus of meditation.
What is the real goal of yoga? Here, we explain that it’s not just about asanas but about mastering the mind through foundational principles like the Yamas and Niyamas. This is the philosophical core of our teaching.
"Truly life-changing." The words of our sadhakas are the truest reflection of the yatra we embark on together. We are humbled to be a part of such profound personal and professional growth.
Precision, patience, and practice. Our gurus don't just instruct; they demonstrate the intricate details of each asana, like this Baddha Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana, so you learn the correct form from the ground up.
Yoga is the journey from voice to vibration. Japa, the meditative repetition of a mantra, is a core practice at our shala to quiet the mind and connect with the soul's whisper.
"आपको डिसिप्लिन, कंसिस्टेंट रहना है।" Energy and discipline are non-negotiable on this path. This is a glimpse into a dynamic session where we build not just physical strength, but the mental grit to push past your limits.
About this collection
It is important you know this upfront: our 300-hour course runs over four months on weekends, not a quick-fix intensive. You will be in the studio for 6-7 hours each Saturday and Sunday, engaging in hands-on adjustments, functional anatomy, and deep philosophical study. If you are looking for a certificate to hang on the wall without putting in the abhyas, this won't be the right fit. If you are ready for the hard work of actual transformation, keep reading.
A Rigorous Path, Not a Trend
Yoga is often marketed as a soft, Instagram-friendly hobby. At Aikia, we teach it as a science. Our 300-hour curriculum, aligned with Ministry of Ayush standards and accredited by Yoga Alliance International, is designed to strip away the fluff.
What You Will Actually Do
- Physical Foundation: You will master Hatha and Vinyasa flow techniques, with workshops focused on complex postures like Headstands, ensuring you understand the mechanics, not just the shape.
- Philosophy in Practice: We move beyond theory. You will study the Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali Yoga Sutras, and Upanishads, learning how to apply these ancient texts to your daily life in a city like Bengaluru.
- The Subtle Body: You won't just learn asanas. We dedicate serious time to Pranayama, Japa meditation, and Shatkriya cleansing techniques like Jala Neti to bring true clarity to the mind.
- Teacher Readiness: We focus on voice modulation, class sequencing, and safe, hands-on adjustments so you graduate with the confidence to guide others, not just yourself.
Why This Format Matters
We hold classes on weekends for four months because transformation takes time. You need the weekdays to process, practice, and integrate what you learn. Our mentorship is direct—you have direct access to our gurus, Surya Sir Ji and Karthikeyan Sir, for personal guidance. Once you join this batch, you are part of the Aikia family for life, with ongoing access to mentorship long after the course concludes.
We provide everything you need at our HSR Layout studio, including two sets of cotton uniforms, a printed training manual, and a complete student kit. This includes a 3-day nature retreat near Bangalore, designed to take the practice off the mat and into a focused, sattvic environment.
