Rishikesh is the yoga capital of the world also known as “LAND of GODS”, where the roots of yoga are deeply embedded. Situated at the bank of the holy river Ganga, which is at the foot hills of Garhwal Himalayas, at an elevation of 372 meters above sea level, it is known for its spiritual energy. It is believed that the divine river Ganga originated from the sacred locks of Lord Shiva. The significance of this river is that it is self-purifying, and as a reason it purifies body, mind and spirit.
As such for centuries many sages, yogis, spiritual seekers and spiritual healers across the world came here for their journey of practicing sadhana, attaining self-realization and samadhi.

Yin yoga, a certified course, is introduced in the last week of 300 Hours YTTC.

These types of practices are especially of interest to yoga teachers, as they tap into the more subtle forms of using yoga for healing. In meditation/yoga, we sometimes make use of mantras and/or mudras. Mantras are words or phrases that can be repeated aloud or to oneself with the rhythm of the breath, and mudras are the use of the hands to focus the brain. What makes mantras and mudras of such interest to yogis are how they tap into the parts of the body that can be most effective for promoting healing. Thus, mantras and mudras help link physical actions to the functioning of the mind. In yoga, mantras are chanted or repeated silently. When chanted or spoken aloud, we activate the healing capacities of connecting the brain to the mouth, lips, and tongue. Even if repeated silently, mantras can help focus the mind during meditation.
Some common mantras include Mantra DikshaGiven the concentration of nerve endings in the hands and fingers, using them in meditation is said to be the most effective body-based yoga style to improve brain function. It also makes mudras one of the most accessible forms of asana, given the undeniably physical aspect of the practice.
Once we have introduced mantas or mudras to youth next step is putting them together. Mantras and mudras are well known in yoga, but it’s their therapeutic effects where they really stand out. Ultimately, mantras and mudras are simple and highly accessible tools to deepen the yoga experience.
Kriya sessions include both basic Kriya and advance kriyas( For Advanced Students only) as explained and practiced by ancient yogi to cleanse body and mind for the Yoga Sadhana. The main benefits of all the kriya is to eliminate toxins and to expand the life span of the cells and organs.

In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means ‘science of life. It is one of the world’s oldest healing systems which is based on the fact that a person’s mental, emotional, and spiritual being are all interconnected and diseases or issues occur only due to imbalance between them.

YogaNidra is one of the best gifts yoga has given to humanity. It’s an ancient yogic and tantric practice to consciously relax the deepest layers of body, mind, and soul. It’s also a technique of Pratyahara (the sense withdrawal) i.e. the fifth limb of Ashtanga Yoga. It has the power to transform you at subconscious levels and even deeper. The term yoga Nidra is made from two words, yoga meaning one-pointed awareness and Nidra meaning sleep. In Yoga Nidra, a yogi appears to be asleep but the consciousness keeps functioning at a deeper level of awareness. That’s why it’s often referred to as psychic sleep or sleep of the buddhas. Yoga Nidra is also a complete meditation technique in itself and can take you to the state of Samadhi i.e. enlightenment.
In this yoga Nidra teacher training you will not only learn how to practice yoga Nidra but also how to guide your students into it. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be able to teach short and long-term yoga Nidra sessions to individuals or groups.
