During the 4 weeks of your 200-hour Multistyle Yoga Teacher Training course, you would be studying the following aspects of yoga.
Hatha Yoga is considered to be the foundation of all yogic asana practices which sprout from its fundamental nature for creating a balance between the mind and body by accessing the inner roots of our being. This form of yoga plays a huge importance to breathing techniques. Our regular Hatha Yoga teacher training in India comprises relatively paced practice of various hatha yoga postures, breathing awareness and techniques, and meditation practices. All of our classes begin and conclude with mantra chanting. The practice of traditional Hatha yoga is aimed at balancing your body and stilling your mind, so it can be trained to stay healthy and keep away from external distractions that may hamper your practice. A Hatha Yoga TTC in India practitioner ultimately cultivates a subtle consciousness within the body that assists in nurturing a meditative form.
200 hour multi style yoga teacher training in Goa at Goa yogashala follow the ancient tradition of Ashtanga Yoga as popularized by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Traditionally, yoga helps you in completely knowing yourself and calm yourself. However, this real meaning can get a bit lost amidst the practices of exercise-centric yoga that seems to be very popular nowadays. Ashtanga yoga courses in India, on the other hand, brings modern-day yogis back to the ancient roots of yogic practice. Pattabhi’s Ashtanga yoga comprises a fixed series of postures linked together with breath. Unlike modern-day yoga practices, the Ashtanga sequence of postures remains the same, and the practice is traditionally performed without music, mood lighting, or other factors of the western yoga class. By taking away these external factors, Ashtanga Yoga TTC India practitioners are able to streamline their attention inward, focusing on the internal aspects of yoga rather than the physical. During our Ashtanga yoga teacher training in India, we teach the whole primary series including rules of sequencing, pranayama, mantra chanting as well as drishti and bandha.
Often confused with ‘power yoga’, Vinyasa Yoga is a modern, fast-paced practice inspired from the Ashtanga Vinyasa system and the highly-revered Guru T. Krishnamacharya himself. This style of yoga is characterized by easing postures together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, using the synchronization of breath and drishti. The primary difference between Ashtanga and Vinyasa is that while the former follows a fixed sequence, the latter observes flowing of each pose organically and has no specific sequence. The dynamic nature of Vinyasa Yoga helps to acquire a more balanced body as well as prevent recurring motion injuries. During our 200 hour yoga training program in Vinyasa practice, we focus primarily on training you in sharp sequencing that not only strengthens your body but also allows the energy to smoothly flow through. Our ashtanga Vinyasa yoga teacher training India is taught keeping in mind the principles of alignment, meaning that even though you will move between postures swiftly, you would be taught safe practices so as to avoid any injuries.
An important part of your 200 hour yoga teacher training in India, Philosophy classes play a very vital role in your yogic journey – almost as critical as your physical practice if not more. During these classes, you would learn about the chakras. With proper guidance you would learn how to connect with them and to empower them through various practices. Your philosophy class would also comprise a thorough study of the eight limbs of yoga as mentioned in the Yoga Sutra by Patanjali.
During the class, all of you are encouraged to actively participate and share your individual perspective towards yoga and its related practices. Furthermore, we would also talk about and learn how to implement these practices in our daily lives as we believe that yoga is not only about your time on the mat but also about your daily life.
Completely opposite to the vigorous, fast-paced Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga styles, Yin Yoga focuses on the deep connective tissues of your body – the ligaments, bones, joints, and deep fascia networks. It’s gentler and more contemplative, allowing you space to turn inward and tune into your mind as well as the physical sensations of your body. In Yin Yoga, you hold your postures for a longer period than other traditional forms which means that you would stretch and lengthen those barely-used tissues as well as learn how to control you breathing through any discomfort. On an energetic level, Yin yoga enhances energy flow and improves the flow of ‘chi’ in the organs but the practice also offers huge mental and emotional benefits too. Usually, our Yin Yoga class includes of a series of passive floor asanas held for a longer duration, that primary focuses on the lower part of the body, namely the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are specifically rich in connective tissues.
Mysore style yoga is the conventional way of practicing ashtanga yoga and offers an extremely personalized approach with all of the group energy of a conventional class. This style is different than any other method of teaching yoga in the way that during practice, the class is not instructed as a whole but it is more one-on-one training within the group. At Goa Yogashala, we learn Mysore style yoga every Saturday where you practice your own part of Ashtanga sequence of asanas at you own pace while the teacher assists each one of you individually by giving verbal as well as physical instructions on how to adjust and align your movements to get the best out of them.
Breathing is the first as well as the last thing we do in life. It is the only constant in our lives. However, regular stressors, worries and physical habits can lead to physical and energetic hindrances in our bodies. And, without even realizing it, our breathing gradually becomes light or unnatural and we develop unconscious dysfunctional breathing patterns that limit the flow of breath and prana. When we work on liberating and controlling our breath through pranayama practices, we also allow the life energy to flow smoothly through the body. This kind of controlled and mindful breathing has the effect of revitalizing, calming and restoring the body, letting everything fall into its right place. At the same time, during our meditation classes, we also highlight the importance of correct breathing in coordination with asanas practice.
We all know that yoga practice involves challenging your mind and body out of its comfort zone and unlock the flow and movement of energy throughout our body. But, at the very root of it, the practice requires a lot of vigorous physical movements. This is why, yoga places a very high significance on the study of human anatomy so you learn about each and every muscle and bone in your body. Keep in mind, this would also help you to guide your own classes should you choose to make a career out of your yoga training. Our yoga teacher training course is structured in a way that it consists thorough knowledge of the organs, muscles, bones, joints, blood vessels and nerves within your body. Knowing the anatomy of your body is an added is vital so you learn which part of your body can sustain which type of injuries, which posture targets which muscle compartments and which asanas are specific to healing on injuries.
The importance of adjustment and alignment in yoga cannot be focused enough. An extremely critical topic, your adjustment and alignment lessons focus on teaching your how to adjust in each asana without causing any injuries to your body. It is done not only to prevent your body from any new stress or injury but also to avoid inflicting harm to any existing injuries. In our Adjustment and Alignment class, you would learn to position your body exactly where it should be. At the same time, if you are pursuing the course to be a yoga teacher, you must learn how to work with your students and instruct them through various poses. By gaining a deeper understanding of anatomy, kinesiology and correct adjustment and alignment techniques, you can ensure that your students safely reap the benefits of yoga for years to come.
Ayurveda Training is an integral part of Yoga courses in India, and at Goa Yogashala we have a dedicated Ayurveda Doctor to guide these classes. In our Ayurveda classes, you will understand ayurveda is a science of living a healthy life with the natural gifts of mother nature and is not only related to massages and therapies. Students will understand how Ayurveda help us in living disease free life with the right diet and incorporating some herbs which are super food. Understanding the Body constitution, the digestive fire and toxins, detoxification and rejuvenation of cellular metabolism are some of the topics we cover in Ayurveda during 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training.
If you are learning yoga to be a teacher or to make a career out of it, our classes in Teaching Methodology should be of high importance to you because in these classes, you not only learn how to be an effective teacher but also the many responsibilities you have as a spiritual guide to your students. At the same time, you learn about the various principles, ethics, and value of yoga as well as teaching. Additionally, we encourage complete participation during the class through various interactive exercises and mock scenarios that help you learn how to handle various situations in the future when you lead your own class.
Towards the end of every week, we conduct practicums where you get a chance to practically implement your learnings by starting to give demo teaching classes in smaller groups. These groups comprise of you batch mates which makes it easier for you to move through the class and build confidence. The classes are thoroughly observed by your mentor who, at the end of ever practicum, shares their valuable feedback with you in order to help you improve and reach your full potential.

Testimonial
Goa Yogashala is a truly magical place. The teachers there are so talented, welcoming & fountains of yogic wisdom & knowledge. They really welcome you into their family from the second you arrive. The food is outstanding & accommodation is so lovely. I would recommend this place to anyone who is interested on gaining more knowledge for their yogic practice.
The 300 hours Yoga Teacher Training at Goa Yoga Shala was wonderful. We had amazing alignment classes with Santosh, fun and great Ashtanga classes with Praveen, who also took care of all our needs in a friendly, professional and caring way, and the Ayurveda course with Dr. Grishma was so interesting! There was also morning meditation on the rocks, included dolphin excursion and Indian cooking class with our friendly chef...
I really enjoyed my time at Goayogashala. The teaching was excellent and I learnt so much on my 300 hours YTT. The food was both delicious and nutricious, plenty of it and vegan friendly. The views from the yoga shala were beautiful. The place had a wonderful energy which matched that of the students on the course.
What an incredible course! With amazing teachers, delicious food, in depth learning & the beach just across the road… There’s little more one could ask for! My time with Goayogashala will be sorely missed - though, with thanks to them, I feel much more confident in my practice, alignment, pranayama breathing & understanding of my bodies capacity and limits… I’ll be back for my 300hr TTC for sure. 😊 I have left feeling empowered, enriched and excited for where the yogic life can go

Welcome to our 200 hour yoga TTC in Goa with Goa Yogashala School. We appreciate you taking the time and making the effort to join us in this truly rewarding, life-changing yogic journey towards a better life. Before you begin with the course, we assure you that all our courses are respectfully accredited by Yoga Alliance and so are our teachers.
Our curriculum mainly concentrates on teaching you the most ancient practices of yoga with careful and practice contemporary methodologies that help you stand out as an exceptional practitioner as well as a teacher if you choose to continue in the profession.
At this point, we would like to highlight that all our courses are suitable for all levels of practitioners, including beginners with no experience as well as professionals who wish to deepen their practice. However, we advise you to have at least six months of yoga practice before you commit to something as serious and dedicated as a four-week intensive yogic lifestyle. Again, we would like to mention that we do not discriminate against anybody based on their practice and knowledge and all of you are equally welcomed to train with us.
Let us now take a quick look at our teaching syllabus for the upcoming weeks.
The Goa Yogashala 200-hour Multistyle Yoga Teacher Training is regarded as one of the best yoga teacher training in India not only because of our exclusive modern approach to ancient teachings of yoga but also because we have some of the best yoga teachers in the country who are highly skilled and completely dedicated to preaching yoga to seekers from all around the world.
Although the course is regarded as the first level of teacher training, you must keep in mind that the next four weeks are going to be greatly educational and extremely thorough, which is why we expect a 100% attendance from you and your unfailing focus. During these four weeks, you will practice an ancient form of Hatha, basics of Ashtanga Vinyasa primary series, yoga anatomy and physiology, various meditation techniques, the art and science of adjustment and alignment, and a lot more.
The first week of the course begins with an introduction to yoga and the yoga teaching profession. Throughout this week, you will be taught about the history of yoga and its various definitions as well as forms, as described by the various school of thought. You would also begin practicing the primary/basic series of HATHA, regarded as the foundation and the most conventional form of yoga that is practiced in the modern world. At the same time, you will learn about the important principles of adjustment and alignment and be introduced to yoga anatomy and physiology.
During the week, you would also learn about your primary tasks as a yoga teacher by starting to teach in pairs as well as small groups. Throughout these teaching practice classes, you will be given simple tasks by your yoga mentor and be expected to follow their guidance and unveil your inner voice as a future mentor.
You would also get a chance to learn about the various Yoga philosophies which primarily focus on the various yogic traditions. Additionally, you will start learning about the principles of Patanjali’s eight limb system, as mentioned in the Yoga Sutra.
Your evening classes, during the entire course period, are dedicated to gentler practices, such as yin yoga, restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and meditation. This is programmed to provide your mind and body the necessary nourishment and rest that it requires after a long day of intense practice. Occasionally, we will also introduce certain meditation techniques such as mantra chanting, Satsang, chair yoga, laughter yoga, and partner yoga.
Welcome to week 2 of your 200 hour Multi-style yoga teacher training in goa. After the introduction to important fundamentals of yoga training in the first week, it is time to delve deeper into the more intense practices of yoga. Thus, we dedicated this week towards learning and practicing of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga – a style popularized by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, that truly revolutionized yoga and brought it to every corner of the world.
During the second week, you will learn about the basics of Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary Series, including modifications designed to cater to all levels of practitioners. We also implement teaching methodology during the practice so you understand how to practice these sequences safely and guide others to do the same in the future.
At Goa Yogshala, we believe in the safest practices and we understand that every human body is different in terms of flexibility and agility. That is why, our yoga mentors pay individual attention to all of you, ensuring logical adjustments and modifications as and when required.
Furthermore, you enhance your teaching skills as well as your anatomy knowledge.
Week 3 begins with the introduction of Vinyasa yoga, both its traditional form as well as the more modern dynamic version. During this week, you will be familiarised with the foundations of this yogic form, but you will also learn several modern-day improvisations such as yogic dance and music. Due to its freestyle, interdisciplinary aspects, and the ability to offer modern yogic a chance to express themselves, Vinyasa is considered to be one of the most popular forms of yoga in the west.
Throughout this week, you will also learn about the various types of Pranayama and its main practices. Furthermore, you will learn more about the various types of mudras and their benefits. Additionally, you will more on your teaching methodology and communication skills – how to prepare for a class, how to sequence a class, how to describe and deliver your techniques, and what are the different types of lesson planning.
Congratulations! You have made it to the final week of your 200 hour Multistyle Yoga Course in Goa. This week is all about revisions and assessments. This week, you will get a chance to refresh your memory and go through everything you have learned so far in the past three weeks. Additionally, you will be asked to demonstrate what you have learned so far through various theoretical as well as practical assessments. While your theoretical assessments may test you on your knowledge about various aspects of yoga, the practical would essentially include teaching demonstrations, understanding of the human anatomy, comprehension of adjustment and alignment practices, etc.
Furthermore, during the week, your yoga teacher will also discuss the business of yoga which will teach you how to set up your own yoga business but remain ethical and stay true to the ultimate cause of spreading the knowledge of yoga.
