200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

The 200-hour training at SRI offers a strong foundation for anyone aspiring to become a yoga teacher. Its thoughtfully layered structure helps students explore yoga from multiple angles, revealing its multidisciplinary nature and the deep connections between ancient traditions such as ayurveda and philosophy, meditation and mantra, pranayama and asana. Whether your goal is to teach, deepen your personal practice, or simply enhance your quality of life, this program supports you in developing confidence and discovering your own evolving expression of yoga.

Highlights and Objectives of the course

Throughout the course, you will study traditional asanas and techniques that have developed over centuries in India. With a focus on anatomy and physiology, the training goes beyond form to examine alignment, execution, and safe practice in greater depth. By learning how the individual parts work together, you begin to understand the whole practice more clearly and gain the confidence to practice asanas with greater safety and benefit. The course also explores yoga philosophy, helping you move beyond the physical postures to understand yoga’s deeper purpose, while pranayama, mantras, and meditation open the door to the more subtle dimensions of practice.
