Daily Schedule

Daily Schedule of The 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course

The daily routine of a 500 Hour Yoga Teacher has been made in such a way that there is an inclusion of physical practice, theory, and self-observation. There is a practice of silence meditation along with pranayama which is later followed by energizing asana practice to get the body up and about. Theory classes about the philosophy of yoga, ways of teaching, anatomy of yoga, and others will take place and practical lessons of helping into asana dissection and reconstruction will extend throughout the day. One more yoga with the aim of relaxation, a talk and meditation will be included in the evenings with an aim of facilitating community and development. The educational process seems to be quite rigid and would, however, allow free expression on any particular aspect that would trigger active engagement with effective assimilation and growth of the students.

In addition to classes, the students are involved in ashram living where they are sharing meals, chanting mantra, and experiencing the bliss of community.
