200 Hour YTTC at Rishikul Yogshala

Yoga Styles Covered in Our 200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training in India

Wondering which yoga styles you are going to learn in our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in India? Well, the answer to this is simple: This yoga course combines both traditional and modern yoga, including Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, the philosophy of Yin Yoga, and an integrated approach. All these approaches are diverse in themselves, developing physical practice, mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual awareness.

Hatha Yoga: Developing Discipline and Harmony

Hatha Yoga forms the core of our training course, in which the students are trained in physical asanas, pranayama, and meditation.

Hatha is the union of Ha-the sun and Tha-the, which teaches one to develop unison from within and without.

Students get to learn simple poses with correct performance.
Asanas are practised for more extended periods, developing stamina and concentration.
The practice includes training in proper respiration, improving lung capacity and mindfulness.

Hatha Yoga is such a disciplined practice; it allows students to gain balance, strength and flexibility, thereby preparing them for a more profound yogic journey.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga: Moving with Breath and Movement

Another essential component of the 200-hour training is Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, which is a flowing but structured style.

The practice style focuses on a series of postures linked together by breathing, giving the person a sense of unbroken flow movement.
The Primary Series, also known as Yoga Chikitsa or Yoga Therapy, targets detoxification in the body and also builds inner strength.
Coordination of breath and movement will lead to increased stamina, concentration, and purification.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a great practice for any student looking for an intense physical practice that builds strength both for the body and the mind.

Yin Yoga: Finding Stillness and Inner Insight

In addition to the dynamic styles, students learn Yin Yoga. The meditative practice consists of holding passive postures for longer periods of time in order to target the deeper connective tissues.

Yin Yoga enhances joint mobility and builds up emotional resilience by encouraging one to relax.
It helps cultivate self-awareness and patience, which balances the yang energy of more vigorous practices.

Integrated approach; A holistic transformation

In our 200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training in India at Rishikul Yogshala, we believe every style of yoga has its own value: the balanced practice of Hatha, the strength of Ashtanga, and the Yin make all our yoga aspirants holistic.

200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training in Kerala, India is intended to prepare yoga aspirants to become teachers while also leading them on their personal journey, thereby making them better every day.
Through multi-style yoga education, yoga aspirants cultivate their body and mind, enabling them to develop a unique teaching voice.

Ashtanga Yoga

Among the great benefits of Ashtanga Yoga are flexibility and strength, stress management techniques, and inner calmness. Emerged by the renowned K. Pattabhi Jois, this dynamic and structured style of yoga emphasises disciplined practice.
Ashtanga Yoga is strongly founded on the eight limbs presented in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali. This sutra is composed of postures, concentration, meditation, and ethical and moral guides through yamas and niyamas. This approach creates a balance between physical fitness, mental clarity, and emotional stability, making it quite efficient.
The practice usually begins with five repetitions of Surya Namaskar A and B, followed by a standing sequence. Ashtanga Yoga requires such depth of commitment and focus that it rewards them greatly. The powerful flowing movements of the Ashtanga style work to purify both body and mind and lead to an unmatched sense of well-being.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga

Vinyasa is a Sanskrit word that means "Variations within prescribed parameters. "It is the dynamic approach to yoga, emphasizing the integration of breath with movement. This style of yoga offers a bridge between the actions we take and experience on a daily basis and more meaningful, deeper dimensions of life.
Vinyasa, or Flow Yoga, incorporates much of what one is familiar with in terms of postures but changes the sequences so that every class is uniquely different. It's a fluidity to the practice that brings breath into movement in such a flowing way while at the same time creating strength and endurance with mindfulness.
The other prominent benefit of Vinyasa Flow is that no two classes ever repeat—this way, practitioners will be able to pose a continuous challenge to their practice. The style also prevents repetitive injuries through balanced development and awareness in the body. For an invigoration of the practice and for a life rich in experiences, choose Vinyasa Flow Yoga.

"I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Rishikul Yogshala in Kerala, and it was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. The course covered everything. The food was fresh, healthy, and full of variety. It supported the training beautifully. Accommodation was simple and clean—just right for focusing inward. Would recommend Rishikul Yogshala in Kerala to anyone looking for a genuine, heart-centered yoga training. Thank you for everything!"
