At Nirakula Yoga, you step into a journey where yoga stops being a hobby and turns into your sadhana. We don’t do yoga just for fancy Insta reels - we go into the real work, with all the sweat, confusion, and “a-ha” moments that come with it. ### What’s in the Training? - Our curriculum is like an Arthashastra for yogis - a roadmap for life, not just poses. - Dive into Hatha Yoga asanas with a big focus on alignment, safety, and props. You’ll probably get used to ropes and chairs more than you expect! - We go deep into pranayama and kriyas (think Jalaneti, Kapalabhati), not just as theory, but by actually doing them. - Yoga philosophy isn’t a side note - we dig into old texts, Yama-Niyama, and blend it with a practical study of anatomy, so you know what’s actually happening in your body. - Meditation and focus practices are woven throughout. If you’re stressed, you’ll see why these matter. ### Becoming a Teacher - This is not a one-way lecture. Our peer-to-peer teaching method means you’ll teach, get feedback, and learn by actually guiding others. - Expect hands-on yoga teaching practice and real adjustments, not just talking. ### Who Fits Here? - If you’re curious, ready to work hard, and want a foundation based on depth, not just social media yoga, you’ll fit right in. - No need to be a pro. Just come with an open mind. ### How We Run It - Two main options: intensive weekday batch (6-7 weeks) or a slow-burn weekend batch. - Mostly at our Koramangala shala, sometimes hybrid/online if you need. You’ll walk away with an RYT 200 Yoga Alliance certification and, honestly, a very different way of seeing yourself and yoga. ## Highlights Browse through Nirakula Yoga's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/nirakula_yoga/200-hour-yoga-teacher-training-ryt-200/featured) - ![(Hero Item) Our Teacher Training Course is built on a foundation of direct guidance.

It starts with questions, like in the Panchatantra. Can a crow and mouse be friends? We talk about such things in class - not just as stories, but real lessons. For me, yoga is more than bending and stretching. Students come for asanas, but stay for the deeper journey. My TTC isn’t selfie yoga, it’s about discipline, theory, and finding real friendship with yourself. Some who came as students now teach. That’s the joy, watching yoga friendship grow, slowly, like a shadow. ### My work - **Yoga Classes & Workshops**: We offer Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced Asana Intensives, Nada Yoga classes, and Shamanic Sound Healing in Koramangala and online. - **Yoga Philosophy & Wisdom**: We teach from ancient texts, mantras, and history, blending them with modern life for a holistic experience. - **Transformative Teacher Training**: Our 200-hour TTC dives deep into asanas, pranayama, and philosophy. It's for those who want to teach, not just instruct. - **Supportive Environment**: Classes focus on alignment and technique, using props. Whether it’s Hatha Vinyasa or meditation, we help you find balance. ## More services from Nirakula Yoga - [Sound Healing & Meditation Sessions](https://mytribe.in/nirakula_yoga/sound-healing-meditation-sessions) · ₹1,000-5,000 per session (estimate) - [Yoga Classes & Workshops](https://mytribe.in/nirakula_yoga/yoga-classes-workshops) · ₹3,500-5,000 per month (estimate) - [Wisdom Talks: Yoga Philosophy & Storytelling](https://mytribe.in/nirakula_yoga/wisdom-talks-yoga-philosophy-storytelling) · ₹1,400-2,100 per course (estimate) ## Experts similar to Nirakula Yoga on mytribe - [200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (RYT 200) by Say Yoga](https://mytribe.in/sayyoga2005/200-hour-yoga-teacher-training-ryt-200) · ₹59-71K per course (estimate) · Shankara Ashtanga yoga - [Yoga Teacher Training by The Happy Yoga Community](https://mytribe.in/the_happy_yoga_community_/yoga-teacher-training) · ₹30K-1.1L per course (estimate) · The Happy Yoga Community - [Yoga Teacher Training (TTC) by Ashish Yoga Fitness](https://mytribe.in/ashish_yoga_fitness/yoga-teacher-training-ttc) · ₹39-49K per course (estimate) · Ashish Yoga fitness - [Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC) by AthaYog Living](https://mytribe.in/athayog-living/yoga-teacher-training-course-ttc) · ₹30.5K-1.1L per person (estimate) · AthaYog Living - Yoga Academy - [Yoga Teacher Training by Pragalbha Yoga](https://mytribe.in/pragalbhastudio/yoga-teacher-training) · ₹28-65K per course (estimate) · Pragalbha Yoga - [Yoga Teacher Training by Pratyaksha Yoga](https://mytribe.in/pratyakshayoga/yoga-teacher-training) · ₹75K-1.1L per course (estimate) · Garden of Samskaras - [Yoga Teacher Training Program by Yogavijnana](https://mytribe.in/yogavijnana/yoga-teacher-training-program) · ₹45-58K per course (estimate) · Yogavijnana - [200-Hour Residential Multistyle Yoga Teacher Training by Soham Ayur Yoga Ashram](https://mytribe.in/soham-ayur-yoga-ashram/200-hour-residential-multistyle-yoga-teacher-training) · ₹79K-1.6L per person (estimate) · Soham Ayur Yoga Ashram - [Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) by Chaitanya Wellness](https://mytribe.in/chaitanya.wellness/yoga-teacher-training-ytt) · ₹23-66K per course (estimate) · Chaitanya Wellness Yoga Academy - [Yoga Teacher Training & Certification by YogaKulam](https://mytribe.in/yogakulam_academy/yoga-teacher-training-certification) · ₹25-85K per course (estimate) · Yogakulam Academy ## Book To book Nirakula Yoga, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20200-Hour%20Yoga%20Teacher%20Training%20(RYT%20200)%20by%20Nirakula%20Yoga.)
