200 Hrs Yoga TTC

200 Hrs YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IN INDIA

‘Yoga’ – was derived from the Sanskrit word YUJ which means to unite or to yoke. This union, refers to the connection of the mind, body, and spirit bringing harmony and balance. You will begin your journey by working on the outermost aspect of your personality and gradually find your true self through self-realisation. As individuals become aware of their true consciousness, advanced yogic practices enable them to unite with the ultimate universal consciousness. Thus, yoga serves as a path to self-discovery and enlightenment.

But how do you attain this clarity and direction? We, at Yog School of India teach you the path to enlightenment through our guiding principles and philosophy.

Timeline Of Yoga

Yoga is a true science of allowing yourself to live in harmony and balance, which is more relevant than ever before and applies to all aspects of lifeWhether you are a student,  a truth seeker or someone exploring yoga in depth, Yog School of India is the right place for you.

Unlike other schools, our Master teachers with great expertise, with some possessing 30+ years in Yogic Science offer a holistic approach to cultivating consciousness and provide a path to inner peace and self-realization. Ultimately, through authentic yogic science teachings, our Master teachers prepare you to experience cosmic consciousness, which is the highest state of yogic attainment.
By taking this first step towards a life-changing experience, you are also stepping into the indispensable role of teaching through our TTC (Teacher Training Course). Teaching is considered as one of the noblest jobs in India because. In ancient Indian culture, a Teacher is revered even above God as they guide, mentor, and lead the disciple toward self-realisation, knowledge, and liberation. Hence, the teacher-discipline tradition is deeply rooted in Indian philosophy. Thus, a teacher is the one who removes ignorance and leads the seeker toward enlightenment. Our TTC is unlike any other and stands apart from other schools because our mission is to create authentic Teachers. This ensures that the next generation of spiritual teachers carries forward wisdom, discipline, and tradition in its purest form keeping up the legacy. Because a Teacher is not just a teacher but a guide, a leader, and a force for positive transformation, our mission holds the highest importance. A true Teacher uplifts society and contributes to a more enlightened, ethical, and harmonious world. Without a true Teacher, the essence and depth of yoga and spiritual teachings could be diluted. Yog School of India deeply roots in the philosophy that – an authentic Teacher is not self-proclaimed but is recognized for their wisdom, experience, and selflessness. Therefore, a true Teacher remains a student for life, constantly learning and evolvingBefore guiding others, one must first walk the path and remain humble, acknowledging that learning is infinite. Our Master Teachers impart mastery of knowledge and teaching ability while nurturing the qualities of a Teacher, such as Dharma (righteousness), compassion, selflessness, and ethical leadership. Furthermore, our IR/EIR program offers the opportunity for you to continue as a lifelong student, allowing you to deepen your journey and continuously refine your role as an enlightened teacher.

Rishikesh As A Place To Learn?

Nestled in the Himalayas, surrounded by mighty Ganga Maa, Rishikesh has been a historical and mythological place where great sages and saints have done austerities and meditation for centuries. It is the “Portal to Himalayas” for many yogis, sages and spiritual seekers who are stepping into ‘Vanaprastham’ (one of the 4 stages of human life in Hindu Philosophy, to transition gradually into spirituality by detaching from material life). Traditionally, it’s a retreat into simple living and prepares you mentally & physically for spiritual pursuits.

Rishikesh is known as the Yoga Capital of the World for a reason. The place holds immense spiritual energy, and it’s the energy centre where Yoga, meditation, austerities and spirituality have been practised for thousands of years by many saints and yogis. You will witness Ashrams -which have existed for hundreds of years, preserving yogic and spiritual traditions.

Many lives have been transformed in this holy land through self-realisation and renunciation. To name a few renowned ones,

  • The Beatles arrived at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Ashram in 1968.
  • Steve Jobs stayed at Neem Karoli Baba’s Ashram in the 1970s
  • Julia Roberts became a follower of Swami Dayananda Saraswati
  • Mike Love pursued Transcendental Meditation under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
