Course Styles

Yoga Styles You'll Learn In The 200 Hour Course In Rishikesh

Discover your true calling with our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh where personal transformation becomes your powerful teaching tool. This is an immersive training course where yoga aspirants uncover the secrets and understand in depth the yoga style that includes hatha yoga, yin yoga, astanga/vinyasa yoga, and kundalini yoga. Each style provides an opportunity to enhance physical vitality, cultivate mental clarity, nurture emotional balance and awaken spiritual awareness in all yoga aspirants.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga is often called the mother of all yoga styles because it serves as the base for almost every other style of yoga. In hatha yoga, you are trained to balance body and mind through yoga postures, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques. Hatha yoga together represents the union of opposites by balancing the sun and moon energies. Understanding the body, hatha yoga forms the perfect gateway for anyone starting their yoga journey or aspiring to become a teacher.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga

Astanga Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic style of yoga that blends breath and movement in a continuous, flowing sequence. Also in this style of yoga, each movement is carefully coordinated with inhalation and exhalation to create a rhythmic flow that strengthens the body and calms the mind. For every yoga student, learning Astanga Viniyasa is more than just a yoga style; it sets a powerful framework for leading dynamic and moving meditation.

Yin Yoga

Yin yoga is a gentle and slow-paced style of yoga that focuses on holding yoga poses for an extended period to target the deeper layers of the body, including ligaments and connective tissues, rather than just focusing on the muscles. By staying in each posture for several minutes, it improves students’ overall flexibility. This meditative approach helps students enhance mental clarity and have a sense of self-awareness.

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini yoga is a form of yoga that focuses on awakening the energy which resides at the base of the spine. In these practices, asanas, breathing techniques, mantras, chanting, and hand gestures combine to stimulate energy and guide it upward through the body’s energy centres, or chakras. By activating the kundalini energy, yoga practitioners aim to remove suppressed emotions and reach higher states of consciousness.

Restorative Yoga

By its name, restorative yoga, it means it focuses on deep relaxation and recovery. Using the right props like blocks, students are fully supported in each yoga pose, which allows the body and mind to release stress completely. Through restorative yoga training you will learn to create a safe environment that guides students into meditative and relaxation states.
