About this class

What Teachers Training (TTC) is really about

Becoming a yoga teacher is one of the great vocations — but the world is full of TTCs that produce technically certified but conceptually shallow teachers. At Aikia, the curriculum is rooted in the classical texts (Patanjali, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Bhagavad Gita) and balanced with the modern anatomy and teaching methodology you actually need to lead a class. Whether 200-hour for those starting out, or 500-hour for those going deeper, this is a serious, transformative program.

"The 200-hour was harder, deeper and more transformative than I had imagined. I came expecting a certification. I left with a vocation."

"I did my 200-hour at a popular Goa school first. Then I did Aikia's 500-hour. The depth gap was enormous. This is real teacher training."
