ADVANCED TEACHER TRAINING COURSE

Ashtanga And Hatha Yoga ( Level 2 - RYT 500)

Overview

Level 2 Teacher Training Course is meant for Indea Yoga’s level 1 teachers. On completion of the course the teacher is provided with an RYT 500 certificate. While level 1 focuses on alignments and breath, level 2 helps the teacher understand important aspects of yoga therapy thereby uplifting their confidence. This four week long course emphasises on understanding the asana and pranayama techniques better. An introduction to hands-on adjustment, bandhas, mudras and kriyas will be made which differentiates it from level 1 Teacher Training Course.

After the completion of level 2 Teacher Training Course from Indea Yoga, the teacher will be eligible to enroll themselves for Shikshaka Sadhana (Level 3 Teacher Training Course).

Module 1: Asana Practice

IndeaYoga's Primary series (for Ashtanga teachers) and Foundation series (for Hatha teachers) are practiced everyday. Each one is provided with an opportunity to lead the whole class through the sequence everyday.

Module 2: Asana Technique / Hands-on adjustment

Topics of bandhas, mudras and kriyas are discussed thoroughly. As opposed to the level 1 Teacher Training Course, the teachers are taught how to adjust students in every asana from the prescribed series, in the right manner.

Module 3: Chanting

All the IndeaYoga prescribed chants including Nirvanashatakam, Shanti mantras, Gayatri mantra and such, alongside bhajans are recited everyday as a part of the schedule.

Module 4: Pranayama

Pranayama techniques are made more intense by the application of bandhas and mudras. The session also encourages a few minutes of guided meditation practices.

Module 5: Kriyas 

Kriyas such as jala neti, sutra neti, trataka and nauli are practiced everyday. And kriyas such as Vamana dhouti and shankaprakshalana are introduced and given a chance to practice - one per week.

Module 6: Anatomy

This module holds a lot of weightage. The teachers are made familiar with almost 20+ bodily ailments and ways to deal with them through yoga.

Module 7: Philosophy

Patanjali Yoga Sutras – Vibhuti Pada (chapter 3), Kaivalya Pada (chapter 4) and KarmayogaSlokaSangrahah (Bhagavad Gita) will be discussed along with basics of Chakras and Ayurvedic principles.
