SYLLABUS/CURRICULUM OF YOGA TRAINING

Please note that this syllabus is not exhaustive. Our course is supposed to be quite intensive according to most of our students. Hence, it is advised to focus all your energies on completing the course. Students should not simultaneously enroll in other classes like dancing, ayurvedic treatment, reiki, etc., in Rishikesh, which will dissipate their energy. You are free to enroll in the above-mentioned courses once you have completed the 200-hour teacher training course with us.
