200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course Syllabus


A Deep Dive into Our 200 Hour YTT Curriculum

Mantras are sacred sound vibrations passed down through the ancient lineage of yogis. In our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, mantra chanting becomes a transformative tool — helping align your inner energy, calm the fluctuations of the mind, and deepen spiritual awareness.

This practice is not about religion; it’s about resonance. You’ll discover the universal power of sound and how mantra vibrations influence the mind, body, and consciousness on subtle levels.

What you’ll explore:

  • The essence and intention behind mantra chanting
  • The energetic and healing power of sound
  • How mantras influence mind, body, and consciousness
  • The non-religious and vibrational nature of mantra practice
  • Practical sessions on:
    • Om Chanting – The primal sound of the universe
    • Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra – For healing and protection
    • Gayatri Mantra – For wisdom and spiritual growth
    • Guru Vandana – Honoring the teacher within and around us
    • Daily Prayers – Before classes and meals, to center your awareness

Through repetition and understanding, these mantras become living vibrations — grounding your daily practice during the 200 hour YTTC and beyond.

Pranayama involves regulating the breath — often referred to as breath control. While this definition captures the practical aspect, it doesn't fully convey the depth and essence of the practice.

The word Pranayama is derived from two Sanskrit roots:

  • Prana - vital energy or life force
  • Ayama - expansion or extension

During your training, you'll explore how Pranayama techniques not only enhance lung capacity but also help calm the mind, balance energy, and prepare the body for meditation. Practices such as Anulom Vilom, Nadi Shodhana, Bhramari, and Kapalabhati are introduced with proper guidance, combining ancient wisdom with modern understanding.

Ashtanga Yoga, the modern-day expression of classical Indian yoga, was developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in the 20th century. Rooted in the teachings of Krishnamacharya, it is a dynamic and structured practice that synchronizes breath with movement — offering a powerful path to internal purification and self-realization.

In this certified yoga course, you’ll learn the foundational principles of Ashtanga Yoga in a supportive, step-by-step way — guided by experienced teachers and a comprehensive manual.

What you’ll learn:

  • History and philosophy of Ashtanga Yoga
  • The structure and purpose of the Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa)
  • How to coordinate breath (Ujjayi), bandhas (energy locks), and drishti (gaze)
  • The eight limbs of yoga and how they integrate into physical practice

Your training includes:

  • A detailed Ashtanga Yoga Manual to support your learning
  • Daily practice sessions with alignment, modifications & breath awareness
  • Personalized guidance to build confidence in both self-practice and teaching

This powerful system isn't just about flexibility or strength — it’s about discipline, awareness, and aligning body, breath, and mind in harmony.

Hatha Yoga is one of the oldest and most widely practiced branches of yoga, rooted in the teachings of Himalayan masters and preserved over thousands of years. At its core, Hatha Yoga is the science of harmonizing the sun (Ha) and moon (Tha) energies within the body — balancing strength and flexibility, effort and ease.

Throughout the program, Hatha Yoga is taught with deep respect for tradition, but also in a way that suits each student’s body and capacity.

What you’ll experience:

  • Classical Hatha postures (asanas) taught step-by-step
  • Focus on alignment, breath awareness, and stillness
  • Building a strong foundation for all styles of yoga
  • Personalized guidance based on your strength and flexibility

Why it matters:

Though gentle in pace, Hatha Yoga is one of the most powerful and transformative practices. It improves health, aids in weight balance, builds endurance, and lays the groundwork for a complete yogic lifestyle. Many students find it challenging — but deeply rewarding.

You’ll be guided by expert teachers who help you progress safely, whether you're new to yoga or deepening an existing practice.

Shatkarma (or Shatkriya) comes from the Sanskrit: “Shat” meaning six, and “Karma” meaning action. These are six traditional yogic cleansing techniques designed to purify the body, balance the doshas, and prepare the system for deeper practices like pranayama and meditation.

In our In our 200 Hour YTTC, you'll learn the science and safe practice of these powerful kriyas under the supervision of experienced teachers.

Why Shatkarma?

Our modern lifestyle creates physical and energetic imbalances. Shatkarma techniques help eliminate toxins, improve digestion, enhance mental clarity, and establish a cleaner internal environment for prana (life force) to flow freely.

What you’ll learn:

  • Introduction to the six cleansing techniques
  • The theory, benefits, and contraindications of each kriya
  • Practical guidance on Jal Neti (nasal cleansing), Dhauti (digestive tract cleansing), Trataka (concentration practice), and more
  • When, how, and why to use each method in a modern yogic lifestyle

These practices are not just detox rituals — they are ancient, time-tested tools for self-mastery and inner clarity.

Meditation is a vital pillar of our RYT 200 in Rishikesh, helping you cultivate inner stillness, sharpen focus, and deepen your self-awareness. Through consistent practice, you’ll learn to quiet the mind and connect with your higher self.

Our training introduces a variety of traditional meditation techniques designed to calm the nervous system and awaken your inner clarity:

What You’ll Practice:

  • Candle Meditation (Trataka): A powerful technique to develop concentration and cleanse the eyes by gazing at a flame.
  • Mantra Chanting Meditation: Focuses the mind through repetition of sacred sounds to uplift and align your inner energy.
  • Breathing Meditation: Connects you with your breath to anchor the mind and regulate emotions.
  • Bhajan/Kirtan: A heart-centered meditation through devotional singing that elevates joy and collective energy.
  • Silence Practice (Mauna): Periods of intentional silence to observe thoughts and connect with inner stillness.

Understanding the fundamental structure and function of the human body is crucial for any serious yoga practitioner or future yoga teacher. In our 200 hour yoga certification in Rishikesh, we emphasize deep knowledge of human anatomy to help you practice safely and teach confidently.

You will explore the intricate functions of organs and body systems, gaining insights into how each part supports overall wellbeing during yoga practice. This knowledge enhances your ability to guide students effectively, preventing injuries and promoting longevity in their yoga journey.

Our course covers:

  • Types of bones and their roles in movement and support
  • The skeletal system and its importance in posture and alignment
  • Circulatory system basics to understand energy flow and breath connection
  • Types of heart blocks relevant to yoga safety and modifications

This comprehensive anatomy training empowers you as a yoga instructor, ensuring you create a safe and supportive environment for yourself and your students.

Yoga philosophy is the soul of yoga — a profound guide that transcends the physical practice and enriches every aspect of life. At Buddha Yogpeeth, our Yoga TTC delves deep into the ancient yogic texts and teachings that have shaped this timeless tradition.

You’ll explore key concepts from classical scriptures, understanding the ethical, spiritual, and mental frameworks that support a meaningful yoga practice. This philosophical foundation nurtures not just your skills as a teacher but also your personal growth and life journey.

During the course, we cover:

  • The core teachings of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras
  • The essence of the Bhagavad Gita and its yogic insights
  • The principles of Dharma, Karma, and Moksha
  • The integration of yoga philosophy into daily living and teaching

Our approach ensures that you emerge with a holistic understanding of yoga — empowering you to inspire your students not only on the mat but also in their lives.

Becoming a skilled yoga teacher goes beyond knowing the poses — it’s about mastering the art of teaching with clarity, confidence, and compassion. This 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training In Rishikesh Inida equips you with a comprehensive methodology designed to transform you into an inspiring and effective instructor.
