A 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) is more than just learning how to instruct yoga poses. It’s a deep, transformative journey that not only refines your own practice but also equips you with the skills to guide others on theirs.

If you’re looking to teach yoga professionally or simply wish to deepen your knowledge, here are the key topics covered in a 200-hour YTT:

1. Asanas (Yoga Postures)

You’ll learn the alignment, benefits, and variations of major yoga asanas. The focus is on sequencing, safe adjustments, and effective teaching techniques, helping you guide students of different levels with confidence.

2. Pranayama (Breath Control)

Breathwork techniques such as Nadi Shodhana, Bhastrika, and Kapalabhati are taught to balance energy, calm the mind, and enhance overall well-being.

3. Anatomy & Physiology

Understanding how the body works—muscles, joints, systems, and movement—ensures that you can teach safely and prevent injuries during your classes.

4. Yoga Philosophy

Dive into ancient wisdom from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and other sacred texts to explore yoga’s spiritual essence beyond the physical practice.

5. Meditation & Mindfulness

Learn various meditation techniques to still the mind, improve focus, and promote emotional balance—essential tools for both teachers and practitioners.

6. Teaching Methodology

From cueing and voice modulation to class sequencing and student management, this module builds your teaching confidence through hands-on practice.

7. Ethics & Lifestyle

Explore yogic ethics through the yamas and niyamas, and learn how to integrate authenticity, discipline, and compassion into your teaching.
