• Jnanamaya Kosha (your wisdom body)
• Anandamaya Kosha (your bliss body)

Sankhya Darshan (understanding reality)

Vedanta Darshan (the philosophy of unity)

Asana

Asana is more than just touching your toes or doing a beautiful headstand. You need to find the place where your body is stable and at ease, your mind is calm, and your heart is open and willing to give.
What You Are Going to Do:

• Hatha Yoga: Patience and presence help you build your base.
• Learning how to safely lead yourself and others through alignment and adjustment.
• Flowing with breath and movement as one is what Ashtanga Vinyasa means.

Meditation

Like how your body needs healthy food to grow, your mind needs the peace and quiet of meditation to grow. You don't have to stop your thoughts; you just have to find the stillness that lies beneath them.
You will learn about sacred sounds.

• Om chanting (the sound of everything)
• Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, also known as "the great life-giving mantra,"
• Gayatri Mantra (calling on holy light)
• Shri Guru Vandana (thanking your teachers)
• Lovely prayers before class and at meals

Pranayama

There is a lot more to pranayama than just breathing techniques. "Prana" means "life force," "breath," or the energy that keeps you alive. You can work with life itself when you learn to work with your breath.
How to Understand the Breath:

• How the air you breathe changes your health
• The place where energy lives is your prana body
• Prana and How You Live Your Life
• The Strong Link Between Pranayama, Breath, and Health
• For those on the spiritual path, pranayama

Breathing Practices You'll Master:

• Pranayama for Nadi Shodhana (balancing breath)
• Sheetali Pranayama means "cooling breath"
• Sheetkari Pranayama (breathing in and out)
• Pranayama Bhramari means "humming bee breath"
• Ujjayi Pranayama means "victory breath"
• Bhastrika Pranayama (breathe out)
• Asana Kapalbhati (skull-shining breath)
• Sun-piercing breath, or Surya Bheda Pranayama

Bandha (Energy Locks)

Bandhas help you direct your energy and are like gentle locks inside you. Physically, you're working out certain muscles, but spiritually, you're learning how to use your life force. Learn how to get your body ready for bandhas and find out how they can help you in powerful ways. As part of the training, you will learn how to do Uddiyana Bandha, Jalandhara Bandha, and Mula Bandha (root lock).

Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga is one of the most popular ways to work out all over the world. It changes the way you feel in your body, helps you lose weight, and makes your health better. We'll walk you through this beautiful trip one step at a time. "Awake, my dear; be gentle to your sleeping heart; take it out into the great fields of Light; and let it breathe." Your practice includes Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) and Chandra Namaskar (Moon Salutation), as well as Yoga Mudrasana, Matsyasana (Fish Pose), Gupta Padmasana, Baddha Padmasana, Lolasana, Kukkutasana, and Garbhasana.

Ashtanga Vinyasa

You find freedom inside yourself when you practice Ashtanga with commitment. You'll learn what Ashtanga Vinyasa is really about, what its main parts are, why breath is so important in this practice, and do the Primary Series, which is the basis for everything else.

Shatkarma

Shatkarma, which means "six actions," are ancient yogic ways of cleansing the body that get rid of illnesses and clear out blockages. It's kind of like giving your body a good spring cleaning. Agni Saar, Jala Neti, Rubber Neti, Triang Mukha Eka Pada Paschimottanasana, Sutra Neti, and Danda are some of the poses that are taught.

Human Anatomy

To keep yourself and your student safe, you need to know how your body works. A teacher who knows how joints move and systems work together is sure of themselves. The study talks about the different kinds of bones, the circulatory system, heart health and blockages, and the skeletal system, which is the framework of your body.

Accomodation

You will stay at the Pankaj Yogpeeth Centre in Rishikesh while you are learning to be a yoga teacher. It is near Ram Jhula and only a few steps from the holy Ganga and the peaceful Jonk (Yoga Village). This place naturally supports a meditative and focused yoga way of life.

The rooms are clean, cosy, and well-thought-out so that you can rest and think. The space is peaceful, fresh, and calming, with views of the Ganga and the Himalayan foothills. It's great for daily study and practice. There are both private and shared rooms, and each one has a bathroom, hot water, and other basic things that you might need.

You will have access to clean sheets, towels, blankets, WiFi, water, and cleaning services, so you can fully concentrate on your trip. The place to stay is simple, clean, and cheap, and it's close to cafes, shops, and healthy food stores. It's surrounded by nature and a great place to relax your mind and body
