What You’ll Learn
Strong Foundation in Asana & Alignment
Deep dive into Hatha Yoga postures with a focus on alignment and anatomy (inspired by Iyengar techniques). Build strength, flexibility, and injury-free form. Explore additional styles like Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Restorative, and the basics of Ashtanga to broaden your practice.
Pranayama & Meditation
Start each day with pranayama (breathwork) and guided meditation. Learn techniques from calming Yoga Nidra to energizing Kapalbhati, and understand how breath control transforms your mind and body. Develop a personal meditation practice to carry home with you.
Yoga Philosophy & Spiritual Wisdom
Study the wisdom of classical texts – Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads – and learn how to apply yogic philosophy in daily life. Understand concepts of Samkhya philosophy, the 8 Limbs of Yoga, karma theory (Jain Darshana), and more. These insights will deepen your perspective far beyond the physical practice.
Ayurveda & Yogic Lifestyle
Get introduced to the sister science of yoga, Ayurveda. Determine your dosha (Prakriti) through consultations, and learn nutrition & lifestyle tips for yogis. We incorporate Ayurvedic cooking principles in our meals and teach you how to maintain balance off the mat.
Nada Yoga (Sound Healing) & Mantra
A unique highlight of our course – immerse in the yoga of sound. You’ll practice mantra chanting (including the sacred AUM), explore Indian classical music as a form of meditation, and even participate in kirtan evenings. These sound vibrations elevate your consciousness and are powerful tools to use in your teaching.
Teaching Methodology & Practicum
Step-by-step, we turn practitioners into confident teachers. You’ll learn how to structure classes, give safe adjustments, use props effectively, and communicate with clarity and compassion. Throughout the course, you’ll teach mini-classes to your peers, receive feedback, and refine your skills. By graduation, you will have taught a full class and gained the confidence to lead others. Remember, becoming a good practitioner and sharing the knowledge revealed through self practice is the way to become a great teacher.
Anatomy & Physiology
Understand the human body in motion. Our anatomy modules (taught in an interactive way) cover key systems, alignment principles, common injuries and modifications. Learn bio-mechanics of asanas, the role of breath and bandhas, and how to practice and teach safely for all body types.
Additional Workshops
To enrich your journey, we include special sessions like Yoga Nidra deep relaxations, mudra and bandha practices, basic Sanskrit lessons (to grasp mantra meanings and proper pronunciation), and even an introduction to yogic cleansing kriyas (like jal neti). It’s truly a 360° training.
By the end of this program, you’ll have a solid foundation in yoga theory and practice, a deep understanding of yourself, and the credentials to teach worldwide as a Yoga Alliance RYT-200.
The Immersive Experience
- Daily RhythmWake up to the ashram bell and Himalayan sunrise. Start with meditation by the Ganges, pranayama, and tea, followed by asana practice. Afternoons bring workshops and lectures; evenings end with calming yoga, chanting, or philosophy talks under the stars.
- Community & SupportFeel part of the Prakruti family from day one. Small groups mean deep connections, shared activities, karma yoga, and constant teacher support.

I stayed at Prakurti yoga school for 6 days. I participated in part of the teachers training course. I had a lovely experience there. There was a strong feeling of community, and the Hatha yoga classes helped deepen my practice, alignment, and understanding of breathe.
