The Best Yoga Teacher Training in India

Are you looking for the best yoga teacher training in India? Look no further! Are you ready for a life-changing experience that goes beyond your expectations? Let us explain you why Gyan Yog Breath is the best choice for you…

Our yoga teacher training programs are very unique and provide you with amazing tools that do not only cover asana (posture). We focus on how to do asanas better. For example, we teach you many unique tricks about how to better align postures, how to use hands-on adjustments, variations and props like chairs, bolsters, straps and blocks. Why? So that you can get most benefits out of your practice and, if you like, share it with others, too. Everybody is different but yoga is for everyone!

We help you to tailor your practice individually so that you understand which techniques you need at which time. We invite you to connect them with your personal needs and external influences. We teach you how to change your practice according to the weather, specific diseases, stressful times, cycle phases and changing emotions.

We make sure to teach you all the physical, mental, traditional and spiritual benefits of each posture as well as important misconceptions and contra-indications.

We also introduce you to Ayurveda and how to release stress through Emotional Blockage® Treatment.

Getting pregnant is the most beautiful time of a woman’s life. At our yoga teacher training in India we teach you how yoga helps to ensure a smooth and healthy prenatal phase from pre-conception (fertility yoga) until post-natal.

“As yogis we are the source of transformation for the next generation.”

That’s why we teach you how to design and hold Kids Yoga classes for all age groups. We have some more eye-opening asana modules in which we address modern life’s impacts on the body and mind, how to reduce stress levels and manage common diseases. We teach you all about chair yoga, diabetics yoga, corporate yoga, yoga for depression, yoga for anxiety and yoga for heart disease.

Why? So that you know how to create better physical and mental health for yourself and help others, too.

In the Western world, yoga is well-known for
the asana practice. But according to the ancient science of yoga, it is not
only asana.

The definition of yoga is:

Translated into English, it means: “Yoga is the Controlling of the Fluctuations of the Thoughts”.

Yoga emphasizes achieving a state of mental stillness and control which leads to a calm and focused mind. It has eight limbs (parts) in which only one is asana. During our yoga teacher training in India, we introduce you to all parts of yoga.

We, at Gyan Yog Breath, invite you to experience the most authentic yogic lifestyle and teachings.

You can expect an illuminating journey of self-discovery and personal development.
