Yoga Teacher Training in India

Finding the right yoga teacher training in India is not an easy task. With endless options out there, this search can feel overwhelming and confusing. We are with you. Nowadays, yoga has become a trend and many yoga schools open and close again, due to lack of authenticity and management skills. Let us explain you, why Gyan Yog Breath is different and how we have consistently maintained one of most comprehensive and well-loved yoga teacher training since 2008.

Every Student Matters, Every Voice is Heard

At Gyan Yog Breath, we are consciously choosing quality over quantity. During our yoga teacher training, we keep small group sizes because we believe that individual attention transforms learning into a more personal and unique journey. We want you to be able to take up space physically and mentally as well. With small group sizes, you can clarify questions, remove doubts or confusion. You can get more tips about your alignment and
receive individual feedback on your learning progress and teaching practice.
