Small Batch Sizes : Our batch sizes are intentionally kept small (20 to 25) to ensure individual attention and healthy interaction, because we believe this creates a focused, supportive, and engaging learning environment.
Our course has a well-structured in-depth syllabus that covers all aspects of yoga, from the basics to the advanced. It helps you to understand yoga's true potential, develop practical skills and techniques and naturally gain the confidence needed to teach effectively.
Advantages of Semester Break : Normally, there will be a 6- 7-day gap between the first and second semesters, which is your time to rest, quiet contemplation or explore Rishikesh on your own. During this short break, the school will take care of everything for you, including accommodation and food expenses. This way you can have time to relax, gather strength, and report back, fresh in body and spirit, at the beginning of the next term.
We're constantly refining our teaching to give you the best learning experience. By listening to student feedback and encouraging open interaction, we create lessons through storytelling, discussions and hands-on activities that are easy to understand, relatable and valuable in everyday life.

Week 3: Seated postures and finishing postures
Week 2: Standing postures and use of yoga props
Week 3: Seated postures and finishing postures
