200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Bengaluru
A structured 200-hour program in Chandra Layout that prioritizes your personal practice and biomechanical understanding before you begin teaching others.
This image captures the collective energy of our community during a special session of 108 Surya Namaskars. My program emphasizes the importance of a strong, shared practice, whether you join us in person at our studio or connect with us online.
I believe the journey to becoming a yoga teacher begins with a deep commitment to your own practice. This program is designed to ground you in that personal experience first, so you can teach from a place of authentic understanding.
Perfecting an asana is not about achieving a final shape, but about understanding the alignment and intention in each movement. Here, I am guiding students in Trikonasana, focusing on opening the chest and aligning the pelvis to prevent strain and deepen the posture.
Pranayama is far more than a simple breathing exercise. It requires complete awareness. As I explain here, the ancient texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika insist on learning these subtle techniques from a qualified teacher to truly grasp the principles and avoid common mistakes.
Props are not a crutch, but a tool for deeper understanding and safer practice. In my teacher training, I guide you on how to use props like chairs and ropes to master alignment, build strength, and make advanced postures more accessible.
The culmination of our 200-hour Teacher Training Course is a moment of great pride. Here, our graduates are honored in a traditional Vedic ceremony, ready to share their knowledge with the world as certified yoga teachers.
A core part of our curriculum involves learning from masters in the field. It was an honor to host Dr. M. Jayaraman from SVYASA University for a guest lecture on the Yoga Sutras, providing our TTC students with deep, scholarly insights.
About this collection
We do not treat teacher training as a quick certification. We treat it as an abhyasa (consistent practice) that demands a foundation in your own body first. You will spend 14 weekends exploring biomechanics, prop usage, and structural alignment, learning not just how to perform a pose, but how to teach the internal mechanics behind it.
The Process of Becoming a Teacher
Many programs focus on teaching you how to manage a classroom. We focus on how to inhabit the practice yourself. You cannot teach what you have not experienced, and this 14-weekend course is designed to build that depth.
Why This Structure Matters
- 14-Weekend Format: We run this program on Saturdays and Sundays to accommodate working professionals. This ensures the learning is gradual, allowing you to integrate the philosophy and physical practice into your daily life rather than rushing through an intensive month.
- Prop-Based Alignment: You will learn to use chairs, wall ropes, and bolsters as essential tools, not crutches. These are used to teach students how to open the body safely and overcome structural limitations.
- Scholarly Depth: You will attend guest lectures by PhD scholars from SVYASA University, ensuring your understanding of the Yoga Sutras is rooted in traditional scholarship, not just interpretations.
What You Will Master
- Biomechanics: Understanding anatomy in the context of asana to prevent injury and promote long-term mobility.
- Teaching Methodology: The art of giving clear, concise instructions and holding space for students at various experience levels.
- Certification: The course prepares you for the Ministry of AYUSH (YCB Level-1) certification, providing you with a globally recognized credential.
This training is for those who are serious about the 'process' of yoga. It is demanding, but it is structured to ensure that by the time you graduate, you are teaching from a place of clear, personal conviction.

I transitioned from engineering at IIT to exploring yoga as an exact science. I built this curriculum because I believe teaching requires a deep, lived experience, not just a certificate.
