- Ayurveda is a natural system of healing wisdom, originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda and yoga have common basics and knowledge, which facilitates each other.
- We purify our minds and thoughts without purification of the body. Ayurveda is a science to live life which helps us to purify the body. We incorporate this science with the yogic techniques which makes the experience better.
- Simple daily routine and healthy food, cleansing practices designed by our Ayurvedic doctors help to detox and nourish our body.

A new, thoroughly designed and connected yoga teacher training program, that includes meditation, pranayama, and asana in their traditional form
- Philosophy, pranayama, asana, meditation – they are all connected. Physical, mental, and spiritual energy all plays equal part in creating a well-connected practice (lifestyle) for practice and teaching. Within a matter of weeks – sometimes days – students begin to experience deep transformation. Through yoga practice, we are training the body to balance and support itself, and training the mind to trust our own selves as we move our bodies.
- Yoga Alliance RYT certification
- At the end of our 200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh India all participants who have attended the specified number of yoga classes and passed the exams will receive a yoga teacher training Certificate of Completion.
- This Yoga TTC is registered with The Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour level, so graduates can become registered yoga teachers
- Confident teaching skills
- Teaching is sharing the knowledge gained by experience. It becomes natural and easy when we share what we have experienced. When we experience the knowledge it starts connecting with different things in our life, which opens different dimensions of the same knowledge. Sharing the experience with students further opens a new dimension that we cannot experience in our lives while sharing the knowledge.
- In this way, teaching becomes nourishing and helpful to open the new field to experience knowledge.
- You will begin by building a strong, informed awareness of the body and the breath, and a deep understanding of how our muscles work together to support the spine and skeletal system to promote balance and overall health.
- The tranquil environment in Rishikesh, at the foothills of the Himalaya, ideal for a break to find a way back to life
- Yoga Vini boasts an abundance of fresh air with the sounds of birds chirping and Ganga flowing, will help you connect with nature and experience the learning on the course at a deeper level. Being close to nature is an important factor on the yoga journey.
- Developing a personal practice routine for continued growth and transformation.
