Recently Asked Questions and Answers

1. Which one to choose: 200 or 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training?

If you are a beginner to intermediate in yoga, then a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training will be the best option for you. During such a training, you will gain a comprehensive knowledge of yoga and learn to advance your practice. You will learn basic teaching skills to kick off your journey as a teacher. In case you completed a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training already, you can get straight to the 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training which is a more advanced course for yoga teachers and intermediate to advanced practitioners. Basically, a 300 Hour Yoga teacher Training builds up on the 200 Hours, which means that you learn everything more in-depth and expand your existing knowledge.

2. What makes the 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Gyan Yog Breath so unique?

Familiarity, small groups, unique extra modules and a peaceful location are a few of the main features that make Gyan Yog Breath so unique. While most other yoga teacher trainings host huge groups, we have set our 300 Hour YTTC max. number to 12 students. Why? We love to give personal feedback, attention and believe that as a student who wants to increase his/her teaching skills, our teachers need to be aware and assist in fine-tuning. At Gyan Yog Breath we work and live the real yogi life, familiar and connected with each other. During a 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, you will be able to learn about Ayurveda, Emotional Blockage® Treatment and Art of Teaching as well. The Emotional Blockage ® Treatment is exclusively taught at Gyan Yog Breath and was invented by our Swami Ji during his years of deep silence and sustained meditation. You won’t find another school with such a broad variety of inspiring and detoxing subjects. Did you know that the Gyan Yog Breath Ashram was located directly at the Rajaji National Park and Ganges River at the outskirts of Rishikesh? It’s super peaceful, tranquil and soothing. A 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training can be very challenging and exhausting, so Gyan Yog Breath provides the perfect setting, comfortable rooms and fun activities to rejuvenate, un-plug and feel at home. Our teachers and staff are 24/7 there for you and make sure that you feel safe, well-guided and understood.

3. Can I do a 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training without being a RYT 200?

Well, it depends on whether you want to register as RYT 500 or not. We would always recommend to begin your teaching journey with a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. If you already have an existing knowledge, know the basics of Patanjali Yog Sutras and covered the anatomy, alignment and adjustments of hatha and ashtanga postures and human body, then you may be ready to jump straight into a 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. If you skip the 200 Hour YTTC, you won’t be able to register via the Yoga Alliance website. It’s a systematic system that requires you to do level 1 (200 Hours) first.

4. What are the benefits of a 300 hour yoga teacher training?

Besides spending time as a student and learning new techniques and ways of creating excellent classes, you will be able to gain a lot of personal practice, enjoy your own physical, mental and spiritual progress and uncover the next layers of your yogic journey. A yoga teacher training is always an investment into yourself, your soul, happiness, health and overall well-being. Especially, if you did a 200 Hour YTT already, you can now 100% focus on your learning, increasing confidence, fine-tuning your teaching expression and inner growth. A 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training can be the evolutionary step of your career as an inspiring yoga teacher and break-point to more intuitive flow.

5. Why is India the best place for my yoga teacher training?

Well, India is the birth-place of yoga, country of spirituality and especially Rishikesh is the hotspot for positive yogic energy and high vibrations. With its beautiful Himalayan Mountains, Holy River, rich colours, food and spices, India will surely take your breath away. India also has the most authentic yoga teachers as most of them have been living a yogic life since their early childhoods.
