Intensive 200 Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh - What Makes Abhyantara Different

When you hear the word intensive, the very first thought comes in your mind something hard or something designed to break you rather than building you up. Our intensive 200 Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh is not something like that instead it is designed in Ashram where yogic learning is our first priority like early morning focused on yoga practice and pranayama, deep study, afternoon rest, and meditative evening. During this course all days will be full like a river is flowing smoothly rather than stuck in traffic jam and every session has its deep meaning.

Abhyantara offers classes in small batch sizes with experienced yoga teachers who teach traditional classes by putting Vedic concept which is passed from sages and gurus which no other Rishikesh competitor can provide. Mostly schools claimed their program is intensive but they are intensive in adding extra classes. Our every session has deep meaned and teachers are paying attention on each student so we are intensive in providing quality.

Within a week of practice, students will notice change like their body moves smoothly in postures, feel they are able to sit for longer time in meditation and can feel their breath flows during pranayama session. In second week of practice, you will start to connect philosophical side of yoga with your yoga practice in daily life, and it’s going to be the eye opener for the students who have been practicing yoga for a longer period of time. And finally, when you understand each breath (ujjayi breath) with each movement, the whole of your body feels like a brand new.

Abhyantara goes two steps forward then most of the schools in Rishikesh. You will be getting opportunity to teach fellow student and will receive verbal and written feedback from your teacher so that you can improve yourself. In the last week of this 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, you will have real classroom experience to teach.

This is where you can differentiate between a school who wants you to go through their syllabus and a school who really care about your growth and focused more on your training. Abhyantara is second one who care about your 24 days hard investment and that why our intensive 200 Hour Yoga TTC is the best.

The Essence of Traditional Yoga - 200 Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh

Nowadays yoga has slightly changed from its traditional way. If you go into cities, you will find hundreds of yoga studio, yoga means only fitness class to lose weight or sweat out with Sanskrit names and I do not find anything wrong in this but this is not the real yoga and how it was designed for the humanity, and that you will realize in our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh.

Yoga if practice in its traditional form becomes automatically a complete science. If you follow Ashtanga Yoga it says Asana is the entry point to make yourself physically strong and flexible so that one can sit in meditation. Pranayama helps to support our awareness and also regulates nervous system, while meditation control instability in mind which is also described 2000 years ago in Patanjali Yoga sutras. And the philosophy makes us understand the true meaning of our existence, where we are, what we are doing and true meaning of our life in this universe.

We teach all classes at Abhyantara as a combined whole rather than a separate subject that we follow according to timetable. Morning Pranayama and Hatha Yoga class is not disconnected with afternoon Philosophy class. Patanjali always mentions the concept of Sthira and Sukha (Stability and Comfort). Same we should try holding steady and strong but more relaxed while practicing Warrior II and that is without gripping your jaw. Our teacher help student to do this in all classes to make teaching and practicing atmosphere alive.

There is something special about Rishikesh, which attracts yogis all around the world not just because of marketing, it’s just because of history of this place, and it’s been centre point of learning yoga for thousands of years. The spiritual vibe of this place supports your practice and when you sit in meditation you can hear the sound of water following in holy River Ganges, bells are ringing in the temples. One can feel positive energy while sitting on ghats.

This 200 Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh can connects you to the oldest tradition of yoga, a knowledge left to humanity by our gurus, and staying 24 days in ashram style environment can help you focus on self-reflection.

Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh for Beginners - Small Batches, Personal Attention

If you have already done yoga teacher training in past or if you are planning then the most important factor is the quality of individual attention you will receive from teachers. Like in the batch of 40 students’ personal attention is very limited so teachers cannot give you his honest feedback of your any asanas like Downward facing dog aliment how you are holding it with proper inhale and exhale, or mostly no time for one-on-one conversation with teacher. At Abhyantara school all this happens day to day classes.

Our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh is designed in small batches so we can focus on each student individually and teacher also remember each student by his or her name. In the end of first week teacher know how your body is performing during practices, how strong you become, your weakness and where your body need improvement. That kind of personal attention transform you teaching and your progress will be visible. We don’t do this as a marketing but our commitment to each one of you.

Our teachers having more than 20 years of teaching experience from beginner who have never practice yoga to advanced practitioner who are planning to teach. Not only this, they have taught students from different countries regardless of age and genders and that’s makes them skilled in their profession. You must have a will power and no prior experience to join Abhyantara’s 200 Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh.

At the end of the course, we received feedback from our graduates that small batch classes and personal attention have changed the quality of learning which they expect before the joining. The quality of teaching material we provide matter the most to students and above all they always grateful to the teachers and kind of relationship they share with students throughout the 24 days. This makes Abhyantara different from others and one of the best yoga schools in Rishikesh for all who are interested in yoga carrier.

What to Expect in Our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh

Before coming to the center, you must we having a lot of question regarding training. Here is the honest explanation from our old graduated.

In the first few days your body will start adapting the new adjustments, waking up at 6:00 AM to start your day with daily physical practice twice a day, shifting from natural diet to sattvic food and unfamiliar sound in Rishikesh which you have never experienced—temple bells are ringing, morning prayer sound. Most of the students feels tired for first few days as they are not familiar of physical practices and this is quite normal, but within few days your body becomes stable and you will feel more relaxed than you were at your home.

Second or third week will be more over a learning period as your asanas practice turns out to be deeper and you see changes in your body every week. Philosophy classes begin more into conversational and question and answers. All the students feel like a family rather than first days seems everybody strangers so there is no point of home sickness.

Final week is more intense and challenging, as students are teaching practically in classroom and completing their final assessments. Most of the students shares their last week is emotionally challenging, with whom they become a part of one family will choose their own path after the course end.
