100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh
The 100 hour Yoga Teacher Training course is the most popular course in Rishikesh. Almost all yoga schools offer it in the time-frame of 12 to 15 days. Diya Yogashala, a new and quiet competitive yoga school too offers the 100 hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh. The school in its 100 hour Yoga TTC course offers basic training in Hatha and Ashtanga styles of yoga. During the 100 hour YTTC course, students will be taught the nuances of Hatha and Ashtanga yoga and how to do them properly.
Before we proceed, let me tell you about the history of Hatha and Ashtanga yoga and their origins. Hatha Yoga is one of the earliest form of yoga which first appeared in 1st century CE in Sanskrit Epics (Hinduism) & Pali Canon (Buddhism). Its teachings started in 11th century CE. It was completely described in detail in ‘Hatha Yoga Pradapika’ in 15th century CE. It includes mantra chanting, asanas or poses, breathing or Pranayama, and meditation.
Another style that is taught in the 100 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh is Ashtanga Yoga. It is one of the other ancient styles of yoga which was first recorded by Vamana Rishi in ‘Yoga Karunta’, an ancient manuscript. Ashtanga Yoga literally means “8-limbed yoga” as outlined by sage Patanjali in ‘Yoga Sutras’. Those 8 limbs are:- Yama (moral codes), Niyama (self-purification), Asana (posture), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense control), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (absorption into the Universe).
At Diya Yogashala, the students will be taught in detail, these two ancient forms of yoga and how they can bring their mind, body and soul under control; and make them work in tandem with each other. The teachers including the school’s owner Deepak Nautiyal will ensure that you do so in the correct manner.
Now you will wonder why you should come to Diya Yogashala to get yoga teacher training in Rishikesh only. The answer is simple- this course will give you a true understanding of each of the Hatha and Ashtanga yoga practices that impact mind, body and soul. Also, this course is best suited for those who have little or no knowledge of yoga. This 100 hour yoga teacher training in India will transform you into a yoga trainer.
