Syllabus of Intensive Hatha Yoga Training in Rishikesh, India
1. Hatha Yoga Asanas:
Practising during Hatha yoga classes will bring balance and unity to the body. Classes integrate a sequence from the traditional Hatha system ranging from standing postures, forward folds to twists and inversions. The classes will help gain strength, flexibility and steadiness of mind and body.
2. Theory & Practice of Pranayama (Breathing Techniques):
Pranayama is the practice of controlling breath, considered the source of our energy. Its practice will work on the gross physical body, mind, intellect and deeper states of consciousness. Through pranayama, we tap into the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for various activities that occur when our body is resting. Pranayama is a means of attaining higher states of awareness and quieting the mind.
3. Yoga Nidra practice (Yogic Sleep):
Yoga Nidra is an ancient technique of self-exploration and inner growth. During its practice, students lie down in a relaxed position and are guided through visualisation exercises and techniques to increase body awareness. This practice helps you to move deeper into the subconscious, and works to process unresolved negative thoughts, habits and emotions. It is suitable for practitioners of all levels and leaves them feel rejuvenated and balanced.
4. Philosophy:
Yogic philosophy asserts that life keeps challenging us and that we should confront, accept and learn from these challenges. Philosophy teachers teach philosophy and apply the ancient theory to everyday life. One will learn more about the psychological and physical results of yogic practices and gain a deeper knowledge about ancient texts such as- Hatha Yoga Pradipika, The Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
5. Meditation/Mantra:
Meditation is practiced to increase self-awareness and quieten the mind; and is seen as a way to self-realisation. Students are exposed to several techniques ranging from mindful, guided, cleansing and concentrative practices. Mantra-chanting is also practiced during these sessions. Combining breath, sound and rhythm, students are taught to channel the flow of energy through mind-body, and restore common nervous system imbalances.
