Yoga offers a powerful path to support the body, mind, energy, and emotions. It is widely valued for its ability to promote health and happiness, while bringing healing benefits without relying on medication or other treatments. Many people choose a yoga training course to improve their well-being, while others follow this path to become yoga instructors or teachers.

Designed to deepen your Kundalini practice, this 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh is an ideal way to strengthen your understanding of yogic knowledge while refining your personal practice. It provides a solid foundation for those who wish to teach in the future, while also offering a meaningful learning experience for students who want to explore yoga more deeply and develop greater confidence in their own practice.

This course is suitable for anyone eager to learn more about yoga, asanas, and related yogic wisdom. It is not limited to aspiring teachers. Those who want to nurture the body, mind, and spirit through yoga are also welcome. The training covers the essential details needed to understand yoga more fully, along with guidance on how to share asanas and yogic knowledge with others.

A key part of the training is understanding chakras and their role in the human body. Chakras are energy centers that run along the spine, from the crown to the base. When they are balanced, they support physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual stability. The course explores the seven chakras that receive special focus: Muladhara, Svadhishthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddhi, Ajna, and Sahasrara. Meditation in a calm setting, with awareness on the breath, is considered essential before awakening any chakra.

Each chakra is examined in detail, including its location, qualities, and influence. Muladhara is the root chakra at the base of the spine. Svadhishthana is connected to reproductive and creative energy. Manipura supports personal power and physical well-being. Anahata relates to emotions and the heart center. Vishuddhi is associated with purity, voice, and expression. Ajna, located between the eyebrows, is known for insight and inner vision. Sahasrara, at the crown, represents a high state of spiritual accomplishment.
