Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training in Gurgaon
A traditional month-long journey to deepen your practice, understand the Gurukula system, and become a certified yoga teacher.
The Advanced Teachers’ Training Course is more than a certification. It is a chance to live in an ashram, reconnect with your practice, and rediscover your true potential away from daily distractions.
Our faculty is our greatest asset. Arun Pandala, a Yoga Acharya with 30 years of experience, is one of the senior most Sivananda teachers in India, known for making ancient science relatable and transformative.
Dyutima Goel, a teacher with over 14 years of experience, brings expertise in teaching everyone from children to advanced practitioners. She is a dynamic and strongly grounded student of the Sivananda system.
The initiation ceremony, or Diksha, is a sacred part of our Teacher Training Course. It marks the student's entry into the Guru Parampara, the lineage of teacher-student tradition.
In our Advanced TTC, we practice the principle of "Help thy neighbor as thyself." Here, a teacher provides a gentle adjustment to a student in Balasana, the child's pose, ensuring deep relaxation.

Partner work is an integral part of our advanced training. It helps students understand alignment and deepen their stretches, as seen here in this assisted Dhanurasana, or bow pose.
Students in the TTC learn to assist each other in various asanas. This practice of partner yoga builds trust, communication, and a deeper understanding of the postures.
Two students work together to achieve a deeper backbend in the bow pose. This collaborative approach is a hallmark of our community focused teacher training programs.
The joy of practice is evident as students support each other in partner asanas. This builds a strong sense of sangha, or community, during the intensive training course.
About Deepen Your Practice, Become a Teacher
Becoming a teacher here is not about collecting a certificate; it is about immersing yourself in the Gurukula system. You will live the practice, from the early morning Satsang and disciplined asana sessions to the community service and Sanskrit chanting, which gives you the authority to pass on these teachings with integrity.
The Path of a Teacher
Our Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC) is designed for those who have moved past the curiosity phase and want to make yoga a way of life. We follow the classical Sivananda lineage, preserving the teachings exactly as they were passed down, without diluting them for modern trends.
What You Will Learn
The training is rigorous and comprehensive. It covers the 12 basic Asanas in depth, with a focus on proper alignment and the specific benefits of each posture. You will master Pranayama, understanding how breath control dictates energy levels. We dive into the anatomy of yoga, the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta, and the art of sequencing a class. This is not just theory; you will learn how to provide hands-on corrections and adaptations for different student needs.
The Gurukula Experience
True learning happens in the ashram, or in a space that replicates its discipline. Whether in our Gurgaon centers or our mountain retreats, the TTC is an immersive program. You are expected to be present, punctual, and engaged. You will learn how to build a sangha (community) and how to manage a classroom. By the end of the month, you will not just know how to teach a pose—you will understand the purpose behind it, the lineage it belongs to, and how to hold space for others.
Certification & Lineage
This program follows the requirements for Yoga Alliance certification, but our focus remains on the Guru-Shishya tradition. You will receive initiation (Diksha), formally entering a lineage that values self-discipline, selfless service, and authenticity. If you are looking for a space to work on yourself, improve your own practice, and prepare for the responsibility of guiding others, this is where you start.
