Topics covered in 200-hour yoga teacher training program
- Shatkarma (yogic cleansing techniques):
Shatkarma, the six yogic cleansing practices, are essential for detoxifying and preparing the body for deeper yoga practice. These include nasal cleansing, upper wash, abdominal churning, flame gazing, enema, and kapalbhati. You will learn both the theory and practical application of these techniques, which help remove waste and blockages from different parts of the body and strengthen internal organs. These ancient cleansing methods, described in classical yogic texts, make the body active and ready for advanced yogic practices.
- Hatha yoga:
Bodhidham yoga retreat ashram Nepal’s 1.5-hour hatha yoga sessions include warming up, subtle movements, stretching, postures (asanas), and complete relaxation. According to yoga scriptures, there are 84 classical postures, and you will learn all major postures systematically with variations. Training covers how to enter and exit each pose safely, correct alignment, and understanding the benefits and contraindications of each posture.
- Pranayama (science of breath control):
Pranayama is the practice of controlling the breath to enhance vitality and detoxify the body. You will learn six different pranayama techniques, including bhastrika and kapalbhati (which help to burn toxins), nadisodhan (which clears energy channels), and bhramari and ujjayi (which calm the mind and improve concentration). These breath control practices are designed to support daily life and deepen your yoga practice.
- Yoga philosophy:
Explore the rich history and philosophy of yoga, including the origins of yoga, an introduction to vedic culture, and the teachings of patanjali’s yoga sutras. Learn about different types of yoga and the practical philosophy behind them, focusing on hatha yoga’s history, principles, and guidelines. This foundational knowledge will deepen your understanding and practice of yoga beyond the physical aspects.
- Yoga anatomy:
Understand the human body’s anatomy and physiology from a yogic perspective. Learn how yoga affects the body physically and psychologically, studying different body systems and their functions. This knowledge is vital for teaching yoga safely and effectively.
- Ashtanga vinyasa yoga:
Learn the dynamic style of ashtanga vinyasa yoga through the primary series taught during the course. This modern form of hatha yoga emphasizes flowing movements coordinated with breath. It is a physically demanding practice promoting strength, flexibility, mental clarity, and inner peace.
- Adjustments and alignments:
Proper alignment is crucial to practicing yoga safely and effectively. Without learning correct adjustments, injuries are likely. Bodhidham yoga retreat ashram Nepal teaches alignments based on modern anatomy and traditional yogic texts, which emphasize internal systems like chakras and nadis, ensuring a holistic understanding of body mechanics.
- Meditation:
Meditation is the heart of yoga for completing the practice. Experienced masters will guide you through various traditional techniques based on yogic scriptures such as the vigyana bhairava tantra. You will develop a strong foundation for regular meditation practice, enabling you to guide future students confidently using your own experience. The course encourages building a lifelong meditation habit that supports both personal growth and teaching ability.
