Teacher Training

With our Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Courses we follow the rich tradition of Swami Sivananda and Swami Sri Vivekananda.

We organize Yoga Alliance recognized Yoga Teacher Training Courses in India. Our 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training Course is a challenging four-week experience, which requires discipline, perseverance and a sincere desire to learn the teachings of Yoga. Prior knowledge of Yoga postures and philosophy is helpful but not essential.

By the end of the intensive four-week course the student will possess a firm foundation for teaching others, in addition to strengthening his or her own yoga practice with self-discipline and awareness of the nature of body, mind and spirit. Upon successful graduation from the course, students receive a certificate of qualification.

The teachers are very caring but strict at the same time. My own practice has taken a new height and I feel much more confident to teach now. Thank you very much for this lifetime experience!” Roman, Berlin, Germany

“At AYVA I learnt not just about yoga but also how to live my life. The life of these yogis is very inspiring, their dedication towards vedic philosophy is amazing. The idea of finding happiness in most basic things in life and feeling the moment has really sat in me now. I am definitely going to come back here again.” Miriam, Netherlands

“I was most impressed by the spiritual integrity that was the basis for every aspect of the course.  In the four short weeks I felt a shift in my inner being. I feel that I have moved my spiritual practice to a deeper level. I feel it easier now to give and let it go. I have understood that there is nothing call “safe”, everything is safe! My deepest thanks to my teachers at AYVA for helping me overcome my fears, Om Shanti. Andrea, Switzerland
