300 Hour
Yoga Teacher Training
In Rishikesh, India

Effective and regular practices of yoga asanas help recover many ailments and disorders. Some physical benefits of asanas are improved flexibility and muscle tone, strength, good blood flow, and balanced metabolism. Better heart health and improved agility.

Stretching of the body releases anxiety and stress, thereby calming the mind. If practiced regularly, it can help in diseases such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, bronchitis, arthritis, and many more.

At Global Peace Yoga, our 300-hour TTC asana classes are designed on the foundation of correct alignment and posture.  If you are not in correct alignment, you cannot achieve the full benefits of yoga poses as it is a science and not a make-believe ideology.

The class is aimed at introducing students to the anatomy and pathology of health issues, and educates them about how these can be remedied with the help of food, practice of asana and pranayama.

When you enroll for this program with Global Peace Yoga School, rest assured that our teachers will help you master the form of each asana and you will get to know its benefits in detail.

You would also be equipped with knowledge of when shouldn’t you perform an asana and what modifications/alternate asana could be performed to reap the same benefits.

Though we are advocates for traditional yogic practices, we cannot call ourselves true lovers of the yogic lifestyle unless we are all-inclusive, which is the ultimate goal of Yoga.

Keeping that in mind, the asana classes at Global Peace Yoga are also conducted in Vinyasa Flow styles, which is a modern style of yoga that involves dynamism. While the Hatha yoga is all about being still, the Ashtanga/Vinyasa flow style is performed as a flow, which is rhythmic, and each asana ties into the next effortlessly.

This style takes up a lot of strength, is energetic by nature, and makes use of Ujjayi Pranayama (breathing technique). This style has also developed into what we call these days as power yoga.

During your 300-hour TTC with us, you will learn how to challenge your body with Vinyasa flow style, without a need for weights or props, if you like the modern style of yoga.

The human body is the most sophisticated and complicated piece of creation. This piece can act as a recipient of the universe’s blessings. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to learn to use this body as an instrument that will attract everything you wish from your life. To perform the asanas correctly and effectively, there is a need to learn about the physiology of the human body. The knowledge of biomechanics lets you know how the joints function within the human body so that you can prevent injuries to yourself or your students.

As a knowledgeable yoga teacher, your students entrust you to understand the human organism, physiology, through which you can progress their yoga practice and create a safe and healthy learning environment in the class. During our 300-hour teacher’s training program, students will gain extensive and detailed knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the human body, significant for yoga. This is aimed to reinforce their classroom handling and explanations, as well as corrections of asana, modifications.

Nevertheless, if you do not wish to teach yoga, this knowledge should be of use to you become an expert yoga practitioner as it is really important to know the operation of the human organism.

Our anatomy classes cover the following in-depth:

• Understanding the human body and its systems such as the Nervous, Musculoskeletal, and respiratory system.
• Enhancing immunity.
• Benefits and contraindications of different yogic poses and practices

At Global Peace, the Yoga philosophy classes cover in-depth history as well as the science behind the study of Yoga. You will learn and understand the five basic principles of an effective Yogic practice, which are breath control/pranayama, proper exercise/asanas, relaxation/yoga Nidra, diet, and meditation.

When talking about philosophy, there is not much to do on a yoga mat and so, the Global Peace Yoga School fosters an environment where extensive discussions take place. The core concepts of the yoga philosophy are discussed in an interactive session.
To create yogis that understand the lifestyle down to its core, our 300-hour course curriculum is designed to inculcate a deep understanding of traditional yogic concepts.

Our philosophy classes include learning:

• Foundation of Yoga and its history.
• Six Philosophies of self-realization.
• Yogic concepts and ideas.
• Learning Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
• Introduction to the Hatha Yog Pradipika.
• Study of Yoga Sutras and other yogic literature.

All of these techniques are essential to learning as they open up energy centers of the body and our students should inculcate these in their practice routine to become capable of teaching these skills.

From the yogic lens, Prana is the life force that enables each living being on this planet to exist. The yogic heritage tells us that the regular practice of pranayama has life-altering benefits.

In our 200-hour teachers’ training course, we teach all kinds of pranayama along with their benefits and contraindications. There are many types of pranayamas and a competent teacher knows which one is suitable for a particular individual.

If practiced regularly, pranayama rids the body of impurities and naturally increases your focus and mental capabilities.  The practice of pranayama is generally right after the asana session.

When you come for a pranayama session at Global Peace Yoga School, you will appreciate the fact that our class is methodically crafted so that you get the best of asanas as well as pranayama sessions in alleviating your physical, mental, as well as emotional ailments.

If you are not interested in looking at just the physical and psychological benefits, pranayama can also be your vehicle towards achieving self-realization.

Though the use in modern times is limited, if you can learn the skill/art of meditation properly, you will need nothing more in your life. Effective meditation practice has the potential to change your physical and mental faculties.
Meditation should be aimed at not only solving mundane problems like stress and insomnia, but also is a process by which any individual can achieve self-realization. Meditation will act as a vehicle that enables you to go beyond your body, mind, and emotions and achieve the ultimate union.
