It's about turning inward, finding your own spark, and learning to guide others from that place. More than memorizing poses, it's about real growth, discovering `Atma Jnana` (self-knowledge), and building a strong personal practice. ### How We Learn Here I’m not here to push you into perfect Asanas or be the strict Guru. My role is to help you listen to your own body and build your `Sadhana` (daily practice). We keep things practical, focusing on experience over info overload. Our 200-hour Hatha Yoga teacher training (Yoga Alliance certified teacher training) is held in Whitefield, Bangalore - non-residential, 7-8 weeks, weekdays 8:30 AM to 1 PM. ### What We Dive Into - Asana: Not just shapes - you’ll learn safe alignment, ways to adjust, and why poses matter for different bodies. - Pranayama training program: Breathing deep, connecting to `Prana` (energy) with classic techniques. - Yoga philosophy course: We’ll actually sit and chat about ancient texts - not just skim them. - Shatkarma: Real yogic cleansing, body and mind. - Teaching Methodology: Get hands-on leading classes, finding your own style, building confidence. ### The Vibe Here Our groups are small, with people from all walks joining in. We start with lamp lighting, end with a celebration. It’s chill, supportive - no ego, just learning and growing together. ### Who Comes Some join just for personal practice, not to teach. Some dream of sharing yoga. If you feel the pull, you’ll fit right in. ### What’s Next Finish the 200 hours and want to go deeper? I offer advanced yoga teacher training too, to help you deepen your practice and step up as a teacher. ## Highlights Browse through Pratyaksha Yoga's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/pratyakshayoga/yoga-teacher-training/featured) - [Video: Welcome to our Shala.

Yashwanth started off teaching on the mat, hours every day, but soon realized yoga wasn’t just about guiding others—it was changing him too. That spark led us here: helping folks not just learn, but teach, so the light spreads. We don’t hand out answers. We help you see your own path, just like our Gurus did for us. That’s what matters—finding your own light. ### My work - **What we offer**: Hatha Yoga Teacher Training (Level 1 & 2), Pranayama Sadhana, workshops, and online yoga classes. - **Yoga beyond poses**: We focus on conscious yoga practice, not just asanas. It's about creativity and inner awareness. - **Start when you’re ready**: We guide with questions before any course. Growth needs the right timing, not rushing. - **Guidance over perfection**: Corrections aren’t about perfect poses—they’re about helping your body learn alignment and breath. - **Community matters**: We grow together, not alone. Every step counts, and we’re here for the journey. ## More services from Pratyaksha Yoga - [Yoga Retreats](https://mytribe.in/pratyakshayoga/yoga-retreats) · ₹38-85K per person (estimate) - [Specialized Yoga Workshops & Programs](https://mytribe.in/pratyakshayoga/specialized-yoga-workshops-programs) · ₹4,000-5,500 per workshop (estimate) ## Experts similar to Pratyaksha Yoga on mytribe - [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 by Pragalbha Yoga](https://mytribe.in/pragalbhastudio/yoga-teacher-training) · ₹28-65K per course (estimate) · Pragalbha Yoga - [Yoga Teacher Training Courses (TTC) by Aayana Yoga](https://mytribe.in/aayanayogaacademy/yoga-teacher-training-courses-ttc) · ₹25K-1.1L per course (estimate) · Aayana Yoga Academy- Transformative Yoga Classes - [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 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 (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 by Yogatute Health](https://mytribe.in/yogatute/yoga-teacher-training) · ₹60K-1.1L per course (estimate) · YogaTute Health (Yoga School) - [200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (RYT 200) by Nirakula Yoga](https://mytribe.in/nirakula_yoga/200-hour-yoga-teacher-training-ryt-200) · ₹40-65K per course (estimate) · Nirakula Yoga - [Yoga Teacher Training Courses (TTC) by Yoga with Srinatha](https://mytribe.in/yogawithsrinatha/yoga-teacher-training-courses-ttc) · ₹28K-1.1L per course (estimate) · Yoga with Srinatha Mysore, India - Ashtanga | Hatha | Iyengar Yoga Teachers Training Center - [Yoga Teacher Training by Aadhya Power Yoga](https://mytribe.in/aadhyayoga/yoga-teacher-training) · ₹45-80K per course (estimate) · Aadhya Power Yoga Studio - [Yoga Teacher Training by Aikia Yogashala](https://mytribe.in/aikia_yogashala/yoga-teacher-training) · ₹95K-1.3L per course (estimate) · AIKIA YOGASHALA - [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 Pratyaksha Yoga, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Yoga%20Teacher%20Training%20by%20Pratyaksha%20Yoga.)
