What to expect from the 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training Course in Goa India?
The objective of the Yoga TTC Course in Goa, India is to provide beginners and experienced Yoga students with strong technical and theoretical experience. This will enable them to perform Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Primary Series with perfection and correct alignment. The teacher training course will equip the future teachers to be completely autonomous and ready to run their own yoga classes at the highest standards.
At Abhinam Yoga, students learn a unique combination of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and Iyengar alignment principles. This approach has an ultimate goal of practicing injury free yoga.
How Will Your Regular Day be like?
Every morning, students start the day with Pranayama and Kriyas for purification and cleansing of mind and body. This practice gives a good foundation for the Ashtanga Vinyasa class. In the beginning of the teacher training, the Ashtanga Vinyasa class is led by senior teachers, later students do their own self practice i.e. Mysore style or led the classes during the last weeks of their course. Â The morning practice ends with meditation followed by breakfast.
The subject of classes in the middle of the day changes every week; going from yoga philosophy to anatomy and physiology. On top of that, students can also have marketing classes on request, during which they get tips on how to promote themselves as yoga teachers and how to do marketing for their future yoga centers.
The afternoon program starts every day with the teaching methodology. Students learn all postures in detail not only to enhance their own practice but most importantly to help others, their future students, to get into and be correctly aligned in each and every pose. During the evening yoga classes, students get introduced to other yoga styles, i.e. Vinyasa flow, yin yoga, hatha yoga or restorative yoga. The day is concluded with an evening meditation.
Learning The Art of Teaching
From the second week of the TTC, students actively participate in teaching as well as adjusting others during the  classes. The practicums sessions are organized under the observation of your instructors who will guide you on how to prepare and present your class. They will also offer various tips on how to observe your students and refine your hands on adjustment techniques. During the course, you will be learning many different techniques on how to adjust the position of your own body so that you can handle the student’s body position while adjusting. This would eradicate any possibility of  anyone getting injured. There would be many classes where you would be asked to practice these techniques repeatedly on different bodies, so that it sharpens your observation and gives you confidence. These sessions give the students and future yoga teachers the best opportunity to learn and how to teach in a very supportive, open and safe environment.
During the last weeks, the students will be expected to lead their own class and complete the assignments on Yoga philosophy, anatomy etc. After successfully meeting all the exam criteria for 200 hours Yoga teacher training certification course at Abhinam Yoga, students will find themselves trained as well as confident enough to act as yoga teachers and lead yoga lessons.
